activate_authlogic sometimes not automatically attached
Reported by Walter Smith | July 4th, 2009 @ 12:33 AM
The RailsAdapter relies on being loaded before any of the app's controllers, so it can put activate_authlogic in ActionController::Base's filter_chain before it gets copied to the subclasses. However, there's no guarantee this is the case.
For example, if you happen to put giraffesoft-resource_controller's gem statement ahead of authlogic's, it doesn't work. Resource_controller requires ApplicationController, so the filter_chain is initialized before authlogic gets a crack at it.
This results in the dreaded Authlogic::Session::Activation::NotActivatedError (You must activate the Authlogic::Session::Base.controller with a controller object before creating objects).
The workaround is just to make sure authlogic is loaded before
any conflicting gems. If there's no foolproof way to ensure the
filter gets installed, it would be nice if authlogic could just
detect this case and save potential hours of frustration. E.g.,
like this:
module RailsImplementation
def self.included(klass) # :nodoc:
+ STDERR.puts "Warning: authlogic loaded too late!" if defined?(::ApplicationController)
klass.prepend_before_filter :activate_authlogic
end

Activate is designed to simplify the authorization process, save time and help you be more productive. It provides a simple interface that allows you to do my essay review and edit authentication information as well as create your own authorization logic.

Object based authentication solution that handles all of the non sense for you. It's as easy as ActiveRecord is with a database.
