Can't figure out this current_user

John · 1 year ago

current_user is a function that was provided to us by the restful_authentication system. Whenever we call it, it uses the ID of the logged in user (if any) that is stored in the session to look up a user record and assign it to the variable @current_user.

If you follow the instructions in The Login Page (Ruby on Rails) Part 2 (http://buildingbrowsergames.com/2008/08/25/the-...) you will be able to call this function from any of your controllers to pull the latest version of the user into a variable accessible from the controller and from the view that the controller will forward to.

If my explanation didn't help or you have any more questions, please ask.

Ruby on Rails is sweet but have you thought about using Simple Scripts? This is also good if not better.

I get a Routing Error:
No route matches "/bank" with {:method=>:get}

I have quadruple checked letter by letter, and comparing differences with the other controllers. I can't find the problem :O
Please help.

That doesn't sound like an error in your code, more like an error in the file naming. Did you name it "app/controllers/bank_controller.rb"? If not then it isn't able to find the controller with that name. Also it is expecting to find the views in "app/views/bank".

It might help to download the current version of the code from here: http://code.google.com/p/building-browsergames-...

That has everything I've done in it so far, including the bank. You could compare yours against that and perhaps find the problem. Failing that, please contact me at john.munsch@gmail.com.
