I am wondering how to manipulate hobo's login procedure -

I have set a before filter, and created a method in my
ApplicationController, which will limit users depending on IP address/
location.

This works, as if the location is not acceptable I just redirect back
to the logout action.

But ideally, rather than logging the user out - I would like to just
prevent logging in (once the application has recognised the users
login credentials) and then show my flash message - it seems if I
redirect to logout, the default logout message is shown, rather than
my flash error message.

This is my method:

def check_location


@ipAddress = request.remote_ip.to_s

if current_user.administrator? && @ipAddress != "196.255.255.255"
flash[:error] = "You cannot have access from your current location."
redirect_to :controller => "users", :action => "logout"

end

end

If this is not possible, It would be perfectly fine, just to be able
to override the logout flash message with my own - just to present the
user with more information. But i am unsure of how to do this - the
logout message seems to take priority?
