Create a logging system

Hello.

I would like to create a loggin system. I have a players model with
name and passwd. Then, I would like to put the player item in the
session.

When I try to loggin, it create a player, so, I’m kind of lost here :

login_controller.rb :

class LoginController < ApplicationController
def index
if request.get?
session[:current_user]=nil
@Player = Player.new
else
@Player = Player.new(params[:player])
logged_in_user = @Player.try_to_login
if logged_in_user
session[:current_user]=logged_in_user
else
flash[:notice] = “Utilisateur invalide”
end
end
end
end

player.rb

class Player < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :accessory
has_many :possessions
has_many :games, :through =>:possessions, :select =>
“possessions.user_notation, possessions.user_comment, games.*”

def self.login (name, password)
find(:first, :conditions => [“name = ? and password = ?”, name,
password])
end

def try_to_loggin
Player.login(self.name, self.password)
end

end

index.html.erb in login

<% form_for(@Player) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>

<%= f.text_field :name %>

<%= f.text_field :password %>

<%= f.submit "Login" %>

<% end %>

Any ideas ? Link that can help ? Thanks !

Use something like restful_authentication

There’s no way of doing it simply ? Because I’m kind of new in Ror,
and I’d like to work this out with only the basics.

Ok, I’ve finally found this

Adapting this is fine.
