I'm trying to setup the Authlogic gem. I've followed this tutorial:
(because I'm using Rails 3)
All of this works. But now I'd like to render the login form as a
partial on every page of my site.
1) I've rendered the partial in my application.html.erb file as
followed:
<%= render :partial => "user_sessions/form" %>
2) When I start my server and try rendering my index view of my home
controller, I get the following error:
undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class
Extracted source (around line #1):
1: <%= form_for(@user_session) do |f| %>
2: <% if @user_session.errors.any? %>
3: <div id="error_explanation">
4: <h2><%= pluralize(@user_session.errors.count, "error") %>
prohibited this user_session from being saved:</h2>
3) I figured out I had to make a new @user_session var in the action
method of my controller for every view I'd like to render my login
form partial on.
4) I've put @user_session = UserSession.new in the "new"-action-method
in my home controller and so my index view rendered fine. But now I'd
like to render my login form on every page of my site.
Is there a way to set the @user_session for every action? Like in the
application_controller? How would you do that?

I am trying to do the same thing. I followed the same tutorial, added the
@user_session = UserSession.new
(tried both the home controller and application controller)
but I am still getting
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `model_name' for NilClass:Class):
1: = form_for @user_session do |f|
2: -if @user_session.errors.any?
3: #error_explanation
4: %h2= "#{pluralize(@user_session.errors.count, "error")} prohibited
this user_session from being saved:"
app/views/user_sessions/_form.html.haml:1:in
`_app_views_user_sessions__form_html_haml__892280163_96031200'
app/views/home/index.html.haml:6:in
`_app_views_home_index_html_haml__1051594895_96219820'
Any idea how to solve this? Everything else works fine, as described in the
tutorial. I am just unable to render the partial user_sessions/form from
anywhere else, i.e. it's only working from user_sessions/new.
I'd appreciate any help, I've been struggling with this for a while and cannot
figure it out.
