Context: A rails app with authlogic for sigup and login Setup info: Rails 2.3.2 A controller called posts with an action 'show'.

Say I have a simple todo app and I want the users to see only their todos. I'm having trouble authorizing with Authlogic. In restful_authentication, I just do def index @post = current_user.posts.find.all end But I'm unable to do that with authlogic. I looked into declarative_authorization, but still can't get it to work. I want th...
I'm using Authlogic to authenticate users. I understand how to create and use sessions, but want to store an additional id variable in the current_user session created by authlogic. Can I just do something like this: session[:authlogic_sess_name] = @extra_id.id However, I'm not sure what the authlogic session is named though or ho...

Say I have a site, like StackOverflow, which supports OpenID login only. Suppose someone had an account on the site, bound to his OpenID, and then he lost access to his OpenID provider (that's surely possible and not harder than losing your email password). How would he then restore access to his account? I see two options: one is the u...
I'm adding a password reset feature to my Rails application that uses Authlogic. I was following the guide here: http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/16/tutorial-reset-passwords-with-authlogic/ and everything works as I'd like except for one thing: the password reset form accepts blank passwords and simply doesn't change them. I've been s...
I have a URL encoded resource such as: http://myurl/users/Joe%20Bloggs/index.xml This is for a RESTful webservice which uses user logins in the path.

Is there a way to get Authlogic to validate the format of a password, for instance must contain at least one letter and at least one number? The omission of a validates_format_of_password_options method to be used in the acts_as_authentic config block seems to indicate that Authlogic has the opinion that one should not be imposing such ...
Hi I have Authlogic with activation emails being sent working just fine. The problem is I would like to next this user sign up form in a larger account form. It seems that when I do this the user information is put in just fine however the User create does not trigger the @user.signup! when nested into a form. Any ideas on why or wha...

I'm using Authlogic. I've got an Entry model and there is a validation method that I want to skip if the request was made by a logged in user (anonymous users are also allowed to create entries). I assume that UserSession.find would not be usable from inside the Entry model like it is from a controller. What is the best way to handle thi...
