Thanks for the tutorial - looks very good and complete....

One thing that has me a bit confused with these Authentication examples is how to set one up for a public site ( i.e. a social networking site ) and setting one up for a private admin part of a site.

Could you give me a few tips on what the key differences would be.

Hi:

I'm trying to add new features and tests to an existing rails app that has successfully implemented the restful_authentication plugin.

However, I'm using RSpec, while the original developer is using Rails built-in testing framework (we're on Rails 2.3.5.)

I'm trying to test a testimonial creation controller which should only be accessible to logged in users with the 'administrator' role. One example looks like this:

I have a doubt, how do we disable validation for password field in restful authentication.

I followed the old tutorial outlined in post 246 and I have gotten what I want working from it, namely the admin panel.
My app is such that a user belongs to a specific organisation and each organisation has its own collection of movies. Each user can only view the organisation it belongs to movies'.
I am now trying to add the functionality of the admin being able to set a user's organisation.

So the link in _user.html.erb

<%= link_to 'edit roles', user_roles_path(user) %>

works perfectly but when I try to copy it and create

<%= link_to 'edit organisation', user_organisations_path(user) %>

I get a no such method exists error.

If I type "http://127.0.0.1:3001/users/27/roles" into the address bar while logged in as admin, I am taken to the roles page for user 27 but if I try "http://127.0.0.1:3001/users/27/organisations" I get "No action responded to 27. Actions: activate, create, destroy, edit, enable, index, new, show, and update".

My feeling is that this is occurring because a user has a role but a user belongs to an organisation. I've been playing about with it for a few hours and can't figure out a way to get it so I can edit a user's organisation as admin. I can do it as the user but this is not the behaviour I want.

Any help much appreciated.

@rbruhn
I had this running on 2.2 a few months back. Just built a 2.3.4 environment, moved the database and the code and the only change I had to make was renaming the application.rb controller file to application_controller.rb. However, I'm running it in an XP environment.

I started on a project using this a few months ago and had to set it aside. Just picked it up again and started going back through the code and found that the activation link sent after successful account creating doesn't work. When I look in the database, the activation code is different from what's being emailed. Any ideas what's happening or where to look?

Here's my debug log:

I can't seem to get this running either. Is the package and tutorial still viable for v2.3.4?

I set this up as a project in Aptana Rails and it reports "No Rake Tasks found. Likely cause is no Rakefile for project." Of course, there is a rake file.

Starting the server gives me this error:

Hi there,
I getting a migration error when trying to set up the tutorial.

db:create works fine, but db:migrate throws:

rake aborted!
Mysql::Error: Error on rename of './test_development/schema_migrations' to './test_development/#sql2-22d3-c' (errno: -1): CREATE UNIQUE INDEX `unique_schema_migrations` ON `schema_migrations` (`version`)

I can't seem to track down the problem, can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm running Mac OS 10.5, MySQL 5.1.34 and Rails 2.3.4

Any help would be much appreciated,

Kieran

I'm having a bit of a strange issue. I have the tutorial installed and functioning perfectly, except that it takes my system about 60 seconds to process when creating a new user. Besides this long delay in creating a user, everything works great.

I'm on a fast machine and not seeing any delays besides this issue. I've been testing the app extensively for 2 days and not having any other issues. Not getting any errors in the log either.

It just takes about 60 seconds to process a new user and send the activation email. Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas about what might be causing this?

I still can't get restful_authentication running and my project is behind, any advice would be grateful. I was able to install mysql but now when I run script/server I get this error.

Found the answer to my second question about application.rb, it is in the application_controller.rb.

In addition to my problem with mysql above, I don't see where I make the change to application.rb as explained in the tutorial.

-Change contact_site method in application.rb to redirect to your site's contact form or info

I see three files named application.rb and none have a method called contact_site.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to Rails and restful authentication.

I'm following the tutorial, when I get to the setup database.yml part and I attempt to install the mysql gem I get this error.

I did however manage to fix my previous error. Added a couple lines from the given environment file to mine, and grabbed the config.yml.

Managed to fix that. If you have the same problem, change line 7 in the rspec.rake file under lib/tasks to:

rspec_base = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../vendor/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib')

That way it points to the installed gem rather than a non-existent plugin folder. Thanks to Adam Salter's comment on http://jimneath.org/2008/09/09/bort-bas … plication/
