I have a learning application "Projects" set up with nested "Tasks". I am now trying to use authlogic and set up UI's so that after a user logs in, the user can go to a UI of "My Projects" and then do all the CRUD they need to do on their projects, but the user will only have Read access to projects that are not theirs (accessible through a different link). All users will have their Projects in the same data model (or that's what I'm attempting to do). I created a "myprojects" controller, copied over the project controller code & have been trying to work with "current_user.projects", but I'm getting an error since the Project is an undefined method (see line three of Myprojects contoller below for error).
How does one do this? Is there a way to pass the Project Controller & Views the "current_user.projects" data to re-use the Project Controller & Views? I know I'll have to put condition logic in to display or not display the 'Edit' paths, I'm just buggered on how to pass the subset of data if this is the way to go. Do I need the Myprojects controller or am I barking up a wrong tree? Do named routes come into play here? Enquiring minds want to know as a famous tabloid once advertised...
Thanks in advance!!
Following is my code: --------------------Project controller-------------------- class ProjectsController < ApplicationController def index @projects = Project.all

respond_to do |format| format.html # new.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @project } end end
def edit @project = Project.find(params[:id]) end
def create @project = Project.new(params[:project])
respond_to do |format| if @project.save flash[:notice] = 'Project was successfully created.' format.html { redirect_to(@project) } format.xml { render :xml => @project, :status => :created, :location => @project } else format.html { render :action => "new" } format.xml { render :xml => @project.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end
