All -
Don't you love it when someone prefaces their discussion with being new to Rails?
I have a common user type for my application, and recently added a second model for a different type of user - different rights, different tools, etc. I'd like to keep the two models separate - and wasn't convinced that STI was right for my situation. Therefore...
I'd like to keep the user types separate, but was hoping to share the sessions controller. Is there a way to modify the session controller below to allow for two types of users to access it. I started by making a completely separate sessions controller for the other user type (let's say user2) - but it certainly doesn't seem DRY.
Should I try to edit the controller below? Use STI or Polymorphic? Other? Help.
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
def new @title = "Sign in" end
def create user = User.authenticate(params[:session][:email], params[:session][:password]) if user.nil? flash.now[:error] = "Invalid email/password combination." @title = "Sign in" render 'new' else sign_in user redirect_back_or user end end
def destroy sign_out redirect_to root_path end end
