My app currently is working but I'm a little OCD about conforming to best practices so I'd like to get a few things cleared up.
1. I have quite a lot of before_filters to restrict certain parts of the site to some users, and a lot of my controllers use very similar authorization code. Here's an example: AController def auth unless cond1 || cond 2 flash[:error] = 'no access' redirect_to some_url end BController def auth unless cond1 || cond2 || cond3 flash[:error] = 'no access' redirect_to another_url end I was thinking of making a new method inside the ApplicationController and making it a helper method as well so it can be used in all controllers and all views. Also, I want to know whats the best way to use respond_with instead of redirect_to in this situation. Do I need to worry about other formats besides HTML in these before_filters? Regarding nested resources, is it bad to have more than 2 levels? My deepest level is 3 and it's a bother to manage it all, but if I separate them then I'd still have to get the IDs of their "parents" anyways by passing them in URLs or something. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
