Hi,

Has anyone any idea how to solve this:

I have the following in my routes.rb

# RESTful authentication

```
map.resources :users, :sessions

map.signup '/signup', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new'
map.login '/login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new'

```

when i go to [http://localhost:3000/sessions/create](http://localhost:3000/sessions/create) it all works fine

but when I go to [http://localhost:3000/signup](http://localhost:3000/signup) I get the following error  
message

Filter #\<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::ClassFilter:0x32115bc  
@filter=#\<ActionController::FriendlyFilter:0x3211a30  
@controller=#\<UsersController:0x4600550…

I can’t tell because the message is cut off, but it looks like your  
friendly filter is halting the request. That has nothing to do with  
the restful\_auth plugin.

Hi Rick,

cheers for taking a look at that, turns out that it is a problem with  
the acts\_as\_friendly\_param plugin.

in particular this mixin  
ActionController::Base.send :around\_filter,  
ActionController::FriendlyFilter.new

Thanks,  
josh
