Hi,

I have a little problem with “redirect\_to”, I use in on a login  
procedure, but it always shows an empty page…

class AdminController \< ApplicationController

def index  
#do somthing  
end

def login  
one user = checkUser  
if ( oneUser != nil ) then  
flash[:notice] = "Welcome " + oneUser.name  
session[:user\_id] = oneUser.id  
if (oneUser.user\_type == User::UserType\_Admin) then  
redirect\_to({:controller =\> “admin”, :action =\> “index”})  
else  
redirect\_to(:controller =\> “mainframe”, :action =\> “index”)  
end  
end  
end  
end

if it redirects to “mainframe” (another controller) I can see  
everything, but if it redirects to the same controller “admin”, I  
always got an empty page!!!

does any one know what is happening???

thanks you very much

Sayoyo
