I think our logic is pretty much similar. The problem is where should I
place my code in the new approach. In current scenario, login
button/action is triggering the make_admin_if_none method. So for every
click on login button this method will be called upon. So is there any
better way to do this? See code below...
Code:
# login controller
# User clicks on login button, which invokes login action
def login
if request.post?
User.make_admin_if_none #make sure admin exists
user = User.authenticate(params[:username], params[:password])
params[:password] = nil
if user
session[:user] = user.id
session[:user_role] = !user.role.nil? ? user.role.name : nil
uri = session[:original_uri]
session[:original_uri] = nil
redirect_to(uri || {:controller => :main, :action => :index})
return
end
flash[:notice] = FAILED_LOGIN
end
# User model
# User.make_admin_if_none
# This will create admin account if none
def self.make_admin_if_none
return if self.find_by_role("admin")
user = User.new(:username => "admin", :password => "admin")
role = Role.find_by_name('admin')
user.role = role
user.save!
end
# Roles table is already populated with roles
Thanks,
Amita.
