TeuF,

Can you be more specific?

Ooohh just found it, sorry

And I tried this in my view: 

  <% if can?(:create, Comment) %>
   ....
  <% end %>

instead of 

  <% if can?(:create, @commentable.comments) %>
   ....
  <% end %>

Thanks

Did that work for you? If you setup permissions in your app/models/ability.rb for who can and cannot create a Comment you should be ok. I'm not sure exactly what the question is here...

TeuF commented 14 years ago

Yes that's the question. But no it's still not working. Have you already used acts_as_commentable with cancan ? I want to restrict the creation of comments to some users.

TeuF,

There's nothing about acts_as_commentable that should prevent you from using it with CanCan.

As long as you have a "can :create, Comment" in your ability.rb, and maybe some code making sure the user in Ability matches the user on a specific comment for :update purposes, you should be good. I'd read up more on CanCan if that doesn't quite make sense.
