Restful Authentication with all the bells and whistles (new 9/05/08) (Page 18 of 20)

Is there a changelog for the Restful Authentication for changes since 9/05/08?  I have an existing plugin that's based on this code, and i'm interested in updating to the most current version.  There is stuff in the code that looks a bit wonky to me  ie: the permission_denied method in the AuthenticatedSystem module, and it looks like this has been completely removed in the new code.  Any help on the code/docs would be great.

I'm also getting the same error!!
I'm running it on Rails 2.3 on InstantRails/Vista.
Has anyone solved this problem??

Hi all!!
Tell me please wherein sense of creating migrations for openID?
I look in page 13, but not understand why need tables for openID auth..
With this may changes openid identity in openID provider? or how?

Thanks a lot..
Sorry for my English

I'm having the same issues as this poster.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's because the ExceptionLogger plugin isn't installed, though it's required.  Why this is the case, I don't know.  But you need to install the plugin.  There are a few steps.

First, download the plugin.  Where you download the plugins in the default instructions, you also need to tell git to get the ExceptionLogger plugin.  Insert the second command here in in the process:

git submodule init
git submodule add git://github.com/defunkt/exception_logger.git vendor/plugins/exception_logger                       
git submodule update

Then finish the instructions given on page 1, upto and including rake db:migrate

Next, you need to integrate the plugin into the tutorial application.

Insert this line into /app/application_controller.rb, immediately below the other Include statements:

 include ExceptionLoggable

Now, tell ExceptionLogger to use the WillPaginte plugin.  Uncomment these three lines in vendor/plugins/exception_logger/init.rb

require 'will_paginate'
$PAGINATION_TYPE = 'will_paginate'
WillPaginate.enable

Finally, update config/routes.rb to include the paths for ExceptionLogger:

map.connect "logged_exceptions/:action/:id", :controller => "logged_exceptions"
map.resources :logged_exceptions

Yes, you need both lines.  Insert them immediately below the map.resources :members line.

Now, start (or restart) WEBrick and your application should be working.  There's no need to run a generator or migration for ExceptionLogger as it's already included in the tutorial code.

In working with this tutorial code, it seems that it's superfluous to require a user to activate via email when they register with the app using OpenID. Does anyone else have thoughts about that? Consider this:

* User comes to site and clicks login with OpenID.
* User is redirected to their OpenID provider.
* User logs into OpenID provider.
* User is returned to our site but there is no existing user with that OpenID URL, so we prompt the user for more information.
* User submits the additional information.

At this point, since the user has authenticated with their OpenID provider, I would consider them as activated. What do you think? As a user would you want the extra step of activating by email or would it seem like a hassle to you? I'm considering some changes to the openid_user model to handle this without sending activation emails for OpenID authenticated users.

I had this problem. I can't recall exactly, but it's either the open_id_authentication plugin is out of date or the updated version no longer uses the fields attribute.

Then, that would leave that it no longer uses fields like SessionsController is trying to do. I forget how I fixed it and don't have time to check again, but have a look at it from both sides to make them match up.

Id like to go through this tutorial. Should I just install the plugin, and go through the original on page 13 or w/e? Or should I perhaps just install the source code with Git and look over it. Thanks for your advice.
