Integrating CMS with authlogic about comfortable-mexican-sofa

[GBH]

I think the problem is that you cannot access current_user method from CMS admin controller (it doesn't inherit from ApplicationController, not sure why at the moment). So you need you rely on instance variable @current_user instead.

Could you please add a "log out" link in the admin view of the gem when the user has logged in through HttpAuth. Is it already there and i am missing it, or is it a bug?

I am sure the "logout" link will be of great help for everybody. At present we can log in at "http://www.some-domain.com/cms-admin", but there is no "logout" feature within the admin-view. To logout i have been clearing "active logins" in my firefox browser.

As you suggested, i used session variable session[:current_user] insted of current_user method and things starting working as expected. Thank you very much for your help.

I would like to re-request you to implement "log-out" link in admin view when logged in through HttpAuth. I am sure it will be very much helpful for all users.

HTTP basic auth doesn't have a conventional 'log-out' but I'll take a look.

Hi Oleg,

I have integrated Comfortable mexican sofa with my application. I'm really liking it so far. However,
I fail to see any link for logout. Is it possible to log-out from the CMS.
Thanks in Advance.

Ashish,

Depending upon the type of authentication that you are using, you could just alter the view of the CMS with a link to destroy the session.

Thanks awoodworth, I used existing authentication for admin. That worked for me.
