authlogic

What is the best practice for combining Facebook login (let's say I'll use Omniauth gem) and email+password login? I saw a few blogs, saw the Railscasts, I know everyone is using Devise gem with Omniauth. But I'm looking for some different perspective. subquestions: I'm considering creating email+password sign-up from scratch (not using any gem for this, lets keep it fast and light) so do you have any advice for this ? Or if you have particular gem in mind, please let it be fast. And do you have any other recommendations for Oauth2 gems (alternative to Omniauth) handling authentication to

I came across this method called record that Ryan bates uses in his authlogic Railscast and can't seem to understand what it does. I have been through the documentation but I can't seem to follow how that helper is useful. def current_user return @current_user if defined?(@current_user) current_user_session && current_user_session.record end What I want to know is does this simply fetch the record from the database and why is it different from the standard way of fetching data from the database. Thank you. This "record" method is a belongs_to relation between the UserSession and the User

I am trying to make Authlogic and Facebook Connect (using Facebook) play nice so that you can create an account either the normal registration way or with Facebook connect. I have been able to get the connect to work one way but logging out only loggs out on facebook and not on my site, I have to delete the cookies to make it working. Any help would be awesome, thank you! Here's an example app I made using the Facebook Connect extension, authlogic and Open ID. It still needs some work, but it does function. http://big-glow-mama.heroku.com/ http://github.com/holden/authlogic_openid_selector

Howdy everybody, I am trying to learn rails, and I'm working on an app that uses Google for logins and also for calendar data. I'm currently working on configuring authlogic-oauth and having some issues. I've been following the guide for the authlogic-oauth (see link above) plugin, and I'm on steps 4 and 5. First off, I am still learning the language and I'm not sure where the code from step 4 goes in the controllers: @user_session.save do |result| if result flash[:notice] = "Login successful!" redirect_back_or_default account_url else render :action => :new end end Secondly, I'm trying to set

I need to know the ID of the current user in a model: def after_save desc, points=nil, nil if answer_index == daily_question.correct_answer_index desc = I18n.t('daily_question.point_log.description.correct') points=daily_question.points else desc = I18n.t('daily_question.point_log.description.incorrect') end current_user.give_points(:description => desc, :points => points ) end But I guess that is not how it is done? Regards, Jacob assuming the user is loggedin you can use UserSession.find.user You might want to add checks to ensure UserSession.find returns something before calling .user It's

I need a very granular authorization system that works seamlessly with Authlogic . I've tried these gems/plugins so far: Lockdown rails _ authorization _ plugin ACL9 I've also looked at, but not tried implementing: Padlock I've searched around for a good tutorial detailing how to set up any of these with Authlogic in a way that makes sense (only the Lockdown doc seems to outline how to set this up with Authlogic), but have come up with next to nothing. The only one of these that made the remotest sense to me was the documentation for Lockdown, but I don't think that package will work for me

So I have Authlogic working fine with this user_sessions/new view: <% form_for @user_session, :url => user_session_path do |f| %> <% if @user_session.errors.present? %> Invalid username or password <% end %> <%= f.label :login %><br /> <%= f.text_field :login %><br /> <br /> <%= f.label :password %><br /> <%= f.password_field :password %><br /> <br /> <%= f.check_box :remember_me, :style => 'margin-right: 10px' %> <%= f.label :remember_me %><br /> <br /> <%= f.submit "Login" %> <% end %> But when I change <%= f.label :login %><br /> <%= f.text_field :login %><br /> to <%= f.label :email %><br
