Can you share the content of session_help.rb?
Yes no problem.
This is my session_helper.rb
module SessionsHelper
def log_in(user)
session[:user_id] = user.id
end
def current_user
@current_user ||= User.find_by(id: session[:user_id])
end
Returns true if the given user is the current user.
def current_user?(user)
user == current_user
end
def logged_in?
!current_user.nil?
end
Redirects to stored location (or to the default).
def redirect_back_or(default)
redirect_to(session[:forwarding_url] || default)
session.delete(:forwarding_url)
end
Stores the URL trying to be accessed.
def store_location
session[:forwarding_url] = request.url if request.get?
end
def log_out
session.delete(:user_id)
@current_user = nil
session.delete(:isitadmin)
end
def admin(role)
session[:isitadmin] = role
end
def checkadmin
admin?(session[:isitadmin])
end
def admin?(rolea)
rolea == 1
end
end
end
``
This is my sessions_controller.rb file
def loginnow
role = User.where(userid: params[:session][:userid]).pluck(:roleid)
user = User.find_by(userid: params[:session][:userid])
if user && user.authenticate(params[:session][:password])
# Log the user in and redirect to the user’s show page.
admin role
log_in user
if admin?(role)
flash.now[:info] = 'You are logged in as Admin and your roleid is #{role}'
redirect_to dashboard_index_path
puts "*******************************************************************************************************"
puts "The roleid is #{rolea} executed in if part"
puts "*******************************************************************************************************"
else
flash.now[:danger] = 'For some reason you are not recognized as Admin and the roleid is #{role}'
redirect_to dashboard_index_path
puts "*******************************************************************************************************"
puts "The roleid is #{role} executed in else part"
puts "*******************************************************************************************************"
end

On creation of a new user, in your database users table, do you set a flag to indicate whether or not the user is admin, let’s say the >field is ‘is_admin’ and 1 indicates admin >and 0 indicates not admin.
Instead of flag I have roleid field which will be 1 for admin, 2 for clerk, 3 for accountant etc
And rest of the code is similar to mine. Instead of accessing controller method, I am passing role id as parameters while calling model method. It is not the problem right now.
The problem is,
In the loginnow method of sessions_controller, If admin?(rolea) always go to else part. To find this out I used “puts” and whether the id is 2 or 1, always else part is executing.
