is_admin? function in rails? - undefined method Error
- by Newbie
Hello!
At the moment, I am creating some kind of admin panel/backend for my site.
I want to do the following:
Only admins (a user has a user_role(integer) -- 1 = admin, 2 = moderator, 3 = user) can see and access a link for the admin panel.
So I created an admin_controller. In my admin controller I created a new function called is_admin?:
class AdminController < ApplicationController
def admin_panel
end
def is_admin?
current_user.user_role == 1
end
end
my route looks like.
map.admin_panel '/admin-panel', :controller => 'admin', :action => 'admin_panel'
and in my _sidebar.html.erb (partial in applicaton.html.erb) I created the link:
<%= link_to "Admin Panel", :admin_panel unless is_admin? %>
Now I get an error called:
undefined method `is_admin?'
Where is the problem? Please help me solving this problem!
