are NOT logged in it shows [twitter.com](http://twitter.com), when you are logged in it  
keeps the same domain name in browser, but all page has been  
changed(it’s full with tweets), anybody? How to do this?

You could just use an if statement in the controller action:

if logged\_in?

# set up logged-in stuff

render :action =\> ‘some\_template’  
else

# set up not-logged-in stuff

render :action =\> ‘some\_other\_template’  
end

Replace #logged\_in? with whatever’s appropriate for your authentication  
system.
