Create a logging system

Hello.

I would like to create a loggin system. I have a players model with name and passwd. Then, I would like to put the player item in the session.

When I try to loggin, it create a player, so, I'm kind of lost here :

login_controller.rb :

class LoginController < ApplicationController   def index     if request.get?       session[:current_user]=nil       @Player = Player.new     else       @Player = Player.new(params[:player])       logged_in_user = @Player.try_to_login       if logged_in_user         session[:current_user]=logged_in_user       else         flash[:notice] = "Utilisateur invalide"     end   end   end end

player.rb

class Player < ActiveRecord::Base   has_one :accessory   has_many :possessions   has_many :games, :through =>:possessions, :select => "possessions.user_notation, possessions.user_comment, games.*"

  def self.login (name, password)     find(:first, :conditions => ["name = ? and password = ?", name, password])   end

  def try_to_loggin     Player.login(self.name, self.password)   end

end

index.html.erb in login

<% form_for(@Player) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %>   <p>     <%= f.text_field :name %>   </p>   <p>     <%= f.text_field :password %>   </p>   <p>   <%= f.submit "Login" %>     </p>   <% end %>

Any ideas ? Link that can help ? Thanks !

Use something like restful_authentication http://github.com/technoweenie/restful_authentication

There's no way of doing it simply ? Because I'm kind of new in Ror, and I'd like to work this out with only the basics.

Ok, I've finally found this http://codingbitch.com/p/comboy/User+authentication+in+Ruby+on+Rails Adapting this is fine.
