Module accessing controller data

rubyonrails-talk

I have data, :current_user, in my Application Controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base helper_method :current_user private    def current_associate       return @current_associate if defined?(@current_associate)       @current_associate = current_associate_session && current_associate_session.record     end end

, so it is inherited by the controllers that inherit ApplicationController

I have a module, which is 'required' by several controllers who inherit from ApplicationController. One of controllers is descended from Application Controller -- another is not (it is descended from RuportController). The latter needs to access :current_user.

What is the best way to accomplish this? (I have tried setting :current_user in the module, so that the controller that is derived from RuportController might be able to call the module to obtain it, with no luck).

Ultimately, I need to get :current_user into the controller derived from RuportController -- but how?

Thanks, R.Vince

Hi R. Vince,

What does RuportController inherit from?

Lasse,

It doesn;t inherit anything:

class Ruport::Controller ... -R.Vince
