I need to get the current_user id in my model observers:
Here is the code for current_user in the lib/authentication.rb file:
module Authentication
def self.included(controller)
controller.send :helper_method, :current_user, :logged_in?,
:has_role?, :is_admin?
end
def current_user
@current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
end
…
end
Here is the propsect_observer.rb file in models directory which needs
it:
class ProspectObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
def after_update(prospect)
prospect.comments.create(:content => @comment_text, :admin_only =>
@admin_only,
:commenter_id => current_user.id) if @comment_text
end
end
current_user is not recognized here. I could include the module in the
observer, but that is bad(?). Any suggestion on a good alternative?
Thanks for your time.
