Protect my admin namespace

Rails
1

Hi all.

I’ve an admin namespace in my app with some controllers.

What’s the best approach in order to login protect all of them?
I’m thinking about using before_filter, but I can forget to add it to
an new controller, in the future.
Googling for it, I’ve found this:
http://rpheath.com/posts/302-directory-based-authentication-in-rails

As I’ve read in the article’s comments, I could use an admin
superclass. But I can forget to inherits from it too.

So, my question is: what’s the best approach to my problem?
An Module? Superclass? before_filter?

Thank you very much and sorry for my poor English.

Restful authentication plugin

Create a admin/base_controller

with before_filter :login_required

And inherit from this controller class Admin::BooksController <
Admin::BaseController

You only need to remember to add the inheritance in new admin
controllers…

done

This is how I have seen it done, and how I do it myself.
