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