Plugin for adding admin functionality to Clearance

Primary LanguageRubyMIT LicenseMIT

Clearance Admin

Added Admin functionality to Clearance. Based on the work of Jerry: http://github.com/jerry/clearance_admins/

Requirements

The Clearance engine

Installation

Add the plugin:


./script/plugin install git://github.com/srdperu/clearance-admin.git

Run the generate file to create migrations and add the include statements to your Controller and Model files:


./script/generate clearance_admin

Run your new migration files:


rake db:migrate

You are done!

How does it works?

It will add a new admin column to the User table and new module functionality for filtering users, adding barriers for non-users and non-admins.

If you don’t use the generator, be sure to add


  class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    include Clearance::Admin

and


  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    include Clearance::Admin::User

You can then restrict access to your controllers like:


  class ProjectsController < ApplicationController

    before_filter :admin_only
    
  end

Or even restrict access to non-admin or non-logged users like:


  class ProjectsController < ApplicationController

    before_filter :user_only
    
  end
