Hi. I am working on a generic authentification system for rails (more complete than the login generator). The way it works is you call a method inside your action, passing the domain as a parameter (domains are like a group of users with specific rights). For that purpose, I need to exit the action inside this method because it redirects to a login page if that person isn''t

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

Slowly figuring out how to get my SaltedHashLoginGenerator stuff working. The wiki page says to put "before_filter :login_required" in the user (my "user" is "member") controller or in ApplicationController. However, wherever I put it I get NoMethodError. The rest of the SHLG stuff seems to be working... or at least I could get to the signup page, register, and

Hi ! I''ve pasted Rails Recipe #31: Authentication code, but I wish to use these methods in several controllers. Then I pasted them in ApplicationController, using before_filter method in all the other needed controllers.

Dears, My railsapp run using ''/layout/application.rhtml'' and under some conditions ( Authenticated user, url parameter) I like to switch globally to another layout, let''s say custom.rhtml Like : class AppController < ApplicationController before_filter :context_layout def index end end # application.rb def context_layout if <context_condition>

Can you set a global before_filter action in application.rb? So, for example, you could control authentication for all of the controllers in an app.? Obviously, you would need a way to reference actions by controller within this "global before-filter". Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all I want to outsource an extension for ApplicationController, that I had in application.rb so far, into a plugin.

Hi, add_rjs_to_action_view.rb of javascript_generator_templates doesn''t work with setting Content-Type in a controller. (e.g.) http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSetDefaultEncoding class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_filter :set_charset def set_charset @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8" end end I

Hi, I''m wondering if there is a simple solution to call a method once per page request. I tried to place my call in a before_filter in ApplicationController but it''d called a second time if I use render_component from a view. Seems to me that a hook should be added in Dispatcher#prepare_application. Context: working on i18n, I''m trying to check lang either from uri,
