My question is how have people implemented different types of users in their Web applications using user-engine? As for my application, I use single table inheritance in order to derive several different types of users, such as "moderators," "editors," etc ... For example, let''s say that I want to create a moderator. I define a new moderator class and Controller like

Hi ! I was talking to a seasider and he asked me if it was easy to do the following thing using rails : 1) ask a number to the user 2) ask a second number 3) give the addition of the two number and a link to be able to replay All these things have to be done in one controller and one action, there is no need for verification and other stuff.

In honor of RailsConf, I''m releasing an authorization plugin with 3 test apps that show you how to use the system. A reasonably lengthy description can be found here: http://www.writertopia.com/developers/authorization I will also be talking about the plugin''s architecture in my RailsConf talk on Saturday.

What is the best way of checking this? I have 3 tables: groups users group_members class GroupMember < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :group belongs_to :user validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, :scope => "group_id" Then I want a method here that checks if a given user is a member of a given group. What is the right way of doing that? def

All, I have a small Intranet app I''m trying to get ready for remote access. (I only have 15 or so users for now and I don''t plan to be adding very many more.). I have installed the login engine and it seems to be working as advertized. (Great job!)

Howdy folks, As I was putting together a rough form for a rails app, I got to thinking how much smoother (in my siytuation) a little calendar widget would be than the default date picker selects. Does anyone know if such a thing exists ? I suspect it would have to be somewhat designed with rails in mind to populate the right kind of post params for convenient use at the controller end.

Hello all, Again, thank you all in advance for any help here. I am trying to figure out how to show the role associated with a user, in a template. I am using the LoginGeneratorACLSystem along with the LoginGenerator. I can show the first name of the user by writing "<%= session[:user].first_name %>" but when I write "<%= session[:user].roles.name %>" it spits

I have 2 radio buttons like this: <%= radio_button ''group'', ''public'', true %> <%= radio_button ''group'', ''public'', false %> They hold the correct values when viewing the @group object. However, when updating, it does not appear that the params[:group][:public] value is being typecast correctly. As

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

I''m trying to get the login/user engine combo up and working and am having difficulties. I got the login engine up and running fine, no problems. Now, on to the user engine. After fixing the needed stuff in the bootstrap task so it loads I''m able to login as the default admin ok. BUT none of the views/controllers that are in login/user_controller are being overridden by the

Hello- I would like to know what the suggested practice is for having multiple submit buttons on a relatively complicated input page. Let''s use the example of a Contact. There is lots of info there, including name, address, phone number. There is also a list of "contact associations" which can be modified on the same page. Ideally, the user could have one

Hi there, I''ve just installed login_engine and user_engine from the repositories, followed the setup procedures as documented in: vendor/plugins/user_engine/README But I''m getting the following failure: vince@vaio:~/Projects/Booking$ rake bootstrap (in /home/vince/Projects/Booking) rake aborted! undefined method `edit'' for class `UserController''

RJS templates are nifty. They let you put all sorts of fun effects all over your bland html pages without too much work. The link_to_remote function also lets you run scripts before, during, and after an AJAX call is run by using callbacks. There does not seem to be an equivalent method for running an RJS template before or during an action. Rendering it at the end is no problem. One

Hiall, Unfortunately I just can''t find out how to setup a default selected value when using collection_select. My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Hi everybody. This is my first post here. I'm new to Asterisk. I started to study recently so I have a lot of gaps. This is my question: I have DSL here in USA and so has my friend who lives in another country. Is it possible using asterisk and our analog telephone devices to establish voice comunication between us. If that is possible what kind of additional hardware do we need? What would
