Excluding controller from before_filter

Rails
1

hi

my app uses before_filter for authorization in ApplicationController
which filter ‘create’, ‘update’ and so on in every controller. But
let’s say i want to exclude ‘create’ in one particular controller how
would i do this best.
I’m missing something like :

class ApplicationController
before_filter check_permission , :exclude =>
[MailerController::create]
…

Hi, you can do the following:

before_filter :check_permission, :except => :create

Good luck,

This would exclude all create methods in all controllers which is
exactly the the opposite i need.
is using skip_before_filter the rails way to exclude before_filter for
a certain controller?

You can use :only and :except with skip_before_filter, so put the skip
in the specific controller, specifying which actions to skip in that
controller.

Or use skip_before_filter in that controller, as you can clearly find
in the API documentation:
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Filters/ClassMethods.html
(Filter chain skipping).
