Ciao PPL!

in our project we use this global method:

# application.rb   def set_user_authenticated(user)     self.app_user = user   end

I need to call it from inside a method that belongs to User model..

# user.rb   def track_successful_payment(promo, transaction_id) ....   set_user_authenticated(self) .... end

I've tried to create a new method:

  def track_successful_payment(promo, transaction_id) ....   self.set_authenticated .... end

# in user.rb   def set_authenticated     super.set_user_authenticated(self)   end

but I'm not on the right way...

please help this is more than critical right now! :smiley:

You are finding it difficult because it is not a recommended practice for the model to know anything about the session. The controller that invokes your model method to track payments should set the authentication to the user that is involved in the payment if that is what you want done. Separating these issues of data management and session management is a key aspect of Rails.
