It could be a helper, check it to helper area or get it to your plugin
-> vendor folder.

I just set this up…

session_path is a view helper mapping a route to the create action.
Rails provides this dynamically (right?) because session is a
singleton Resource.

In your routes.rb file there is/should be:
map.resource :session

This gives you named routes(RESTful) and view helpers.
…is that cool or what!

for more info and examples, see api:
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Resources.html

all this was created when you ran the generator in
restful_authentication.
You provided the word “session” …some use “account”.
…I’m forgetting which one is default…I thought the readme was very
good.

Hi

I’m having a similar problem with this. I’ve developed an application
with restful_authentication and it’s running fine locally under
mongrel but when I deploy it to my host running fast-cgi the routes
act differently.

so the line
<% form_for session_path do -%>

should direct to the create action in the sessions controller (as it
does locally) but instead it calls the show action.

In my routes.rb I have:
map.resource :session, :controller => ‘sessions’

which should create the default routes to actions create and show
(plus others) the difference being show is GET and create is POST.
I’ve tried specifying the form_for is POST with :method => “POST” but
it still directs to show (via GET).

Thanks in advance.
