I think I am missing something while using the Authlogic gem w/ Rails. To set the stage I have multiple users and each user can create posts and comments. Upon the display of a post or comment I would like to give the user who created them the option to edit or destroy.
I am successfully using the following code to hide and
show elements based on if a user is logged in or not but can't seem to find out how to only
show these links to the actual user who created them...not any user that is logged in.
<% if current_user %>
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_question_path(question) %> |
<%= link_to 'Destroy', question, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>
<% else %>
<p>nothing to see here</p>
<% end %>
Here is the def of current_user located in the application controller in case I need to change something here.
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
helper :all # include all helpers, all the time
protect_from_forgery # See ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection for details#
helper_method :current_user
private
def current_user_session
return @current_user_session if defined?(@current_user_session)
@current_user_session = UserSession.find
end
def current_user
return @current_user if defined?(@current_user)
@current_user = current_user_session && current_user_session.record
end
end
