authentication in application controller #7

Closed aravindgd closed 9 years ago

aravindgd commented 9 years ago

If you have

 before_filter :authenticate_user!

in the application_controller then all the pages can be only viewed with logging in, is this the desired result?

I think we need to add except here.

Except won't help much and make things complex. Add the before_filter to controllers where you need authentication alone not everywhere else and also change before_filter to before_action as the former is about to be deprecated.

Okay... I just read the application_controller part! I thought this was in some controller only! My bad! Yes... Horrible idea to put it in application_controller.
