Why isn`t admin just a role for a user instead of a completely different "kind" of user?
If they were both the same, you woudn`t have any duplication at all and woudn`t need any special case logic. If you can't do this, it's better to have a separate resource to login admins, having a special user clause at the main user's login controller isn`t great either. - Maurício Linhares http://alinhavado.wordpress.com/ (pt-br) | http://blog.codevader.com/ (en) On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 11:27 PM, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Our app currently has an admin/logins/login_by_admin action.
