There's likely a name-collision between Radiant's internal
authentication and your generated restful_authentication. Try
first adding this to the top of your controller:
no_login_required
Then make sure you don't have methods in AuthenticatedSystem that
have the same names as the Radiant ones. Likely suspects:
logged_in?, login_required, current_user.

I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions for how I might do this? I have thought about the following options: - Extend Radiant's User model and some how support users belonging to each other. i.e. a Parent user might own a child user - Create a parallel and super simple user system separate from Radiant's users - Use something like Spanner's reader extension: http://github.com/spanner/radiant-reader-extension/tree/master in combination with Spanner's reader_group extension: http://github.com/spanner/radiant-reader_group-extension/tree/master . Group could be the Parental/Guardian and reader could be the student - Give up ( jk :) ) Thank you for reading this huge post. I haven't looked closely at the extensions out there for member management. I believe that a common approach is to just piggy-back on the existing users, but personally I would not do that. The purpose of Radiant's users and your extra users are different enough that they make sense being separate, and you'd also control that better by rolling your own authentication scheme. I think Ba does this (http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/ba/tree/master ) I don't think that gives you an answer, but that's my opinion. -Jim ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
RE: [Radiant] User Registration for a School
Jim, thanks a lot for your input. I'm considering restful-authentication -- do you think using something like that (or authlogic) is overkill or might cause problems? I do like the fact that out of the box RA supports roles and states :) thanks again jim.

Re: [Radiant] User Registration for a School
If restful authentication works for you, it should be fine. You'll just need to make sure that any of the methods for authentication don't overlap. http://github.com/radiant/radiant/blob/69cdd08d287199810fa515c04a3563e26acfb11c/lib/login_system.rb Jim Gay http://www.saturnflyer.com On Jun 21, 2009, at 4:21 PM, Merk S wrote: Jim, thanks a lot for your input.
