How to remove the active admin sign-up link? - ruby-on-rails-3

I don't want to sign-up new user to (active admin) admin panel..so that I want to customize the login page of active admin.
How can I remove the sign-up link from the admin-login page in active admin.
How can I do the same...?

The question is quite old, but I just came across the same problem. My solution is:
mkdir -p app/views/active_admin/devise/shared
touch app/views/active_admin/devise/shared/_links.erb
I have also disabled the routes:
devise_for :users, ActiveAdmin::Devise.config.merge(skip: [:confirmations, :passwords, :registrations, :unlocks])

If this rule applies to all of your admin pages, you could use a different layout file that didn't include the links (or the partial that included them.
You could set a variable in the controller (e.g. #hide_login) then conditionally display them (e.g. <%= link_to("Sign Up", sign_up_path) unless #hide_login %>)
I have worked on a number of applications where the admin interface is really a separate part of the app, accessible only to internal users, and in this case it can be helpful to put your administrative models/views/controllers in their own namespace ( e.g. Admin::ManageUsers) which makes it easy to globally apply certain rules in a before_filter (including, possibly defining the default layout).

There are several posibilities to do this as you know you should have a controller (I mostly use AdminController) wich has an index action.
then in de index view there probably is a render partial wich renders the login/sign-up form
you can locate the elemement wich renders the sign-up link.
If you somehow can't find this you can go to your Terminal/CMD
end type
grep -lr "sign-up" *
this will find the sign-up link somewhere then just delete it or hide it like above message suggests

Accessing a url directly without login

I am considering doing this -
Any url (excecpt those I disallow specifically) can be accessed directly without signing-in, however if you click on any of the links on the page, it will redirect you to the sign-up page
I am thinking of several ways of doing it, but neither is flexible enough to work with devise
Create a new link_to_not_registered helper which I will use on every link_to and it will check if the user is logged in or not
create a before_filter to check if the user is logged in. This is a bit problematic, as I don't know how to create a filter only when linking and not when directly accessing a page
Have an external flag to test if the user is logged in and change the page accordingly.
neither way helps me redirect the user after sign-in/sign up (new helper links to sign up, before filter becomes too complex, flags are too simple)
Is there a way to create a functionality of direct access to show actions while clicking on links requires login?
I think the best approach is a before_filter. You can check previous page by request.referrer, so if it's a page inside your app, you redirect user to signin path
def to_signin
redirect_to singin_path if request.referrer["http://myapp.com"]
end

Yii CAPTCHA url is broken

I want to create an AJAX-registration form on my Yii-project. So on every page I have a login-button, which shows a popup if the user isn't authorized. In that popup he can see registration form with email field, password field, and CAPTCHA (default Yii captcha).
So, my model for user's registration is User. There is a validation rule:
array('code', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest),
My controller, where all user's actions are, is User (url: site.url/user/) and I added there captcha action:
'captcha'=>array(
'class'=>'CCaptchaAction',
'backColor'=>0xFFFFFF,
'foreColor'=>0x000000,
),
In my next code:
$this->widget('CCaptcha', array(
'clickableImage' => true,
'showRefreshButton' => false,
))
And here is a problem:( Being inside a popup, which can be shown on every page (index page, for example, which belongs Main controller) captcha wants to load an image from that controller (from /main/captcha, not /user/captcha).
Adding captcha in every controller is bad idea, so I added
'captchaAction' => '/user/captcha',
But after that captcha wants to load from an url
http://site.loc/user/captcha/v/4fe99aca1bbed
User-friendly url's crashed captcha and I can't avoid it (as I think, not being a yii-expert, it's because of common path-config).
Is there an easy solution to solve this? Should I repair URL's or re-configure CAPTCHA?
So, while I was waiting for help, I solved the problem by myself :)
In my project i separated my controllers into the next hierarchy:
/frontend
/backend
All controllers for common users are (of course) in Frontend section, including UserController and MainController.
Yes, I wrote some configs to hide /frontend/ in URL's like this:
'<c:\w+>/<a:\w+>' => 'frontend/<c>/<a>',
And i was sure, that string in my CAPTCHA config ('captchaAction' => '/user/captcha') knows where to go (and it was almost so!), but NO!
I should write FULL PATH to my controller and action like below:
'captchaAction' => '/frontend/main/captcha',
As I said in question, I placed my CAPTCHA action in UserController, but now you can see it is located in MainController (i deleted it from UserController)
And I got an error:
CCaptchaValidator.action "captcha" is invalid. Unable to find such an action in the current controller.
So, to solve this, I just had to use a property captchaAction of CCaptchaValidator in my User MODEL! Code:
array('code', 'captcha', 'captchaAction'=>'/frontend/main/captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)
So, now my AJAX Captcha validation works correctly where I want.
Good luck with Yii's default CAPTCHA, dear community!

Yii-User and Yii-eauth integration

I am trying to put together an application using yii-user and yii-eauth extensions but I am coming up short. When I create a new webapp and install eauth I can get it to work fine so I know that I am not doing anything wrong on that end. I think the problem lies with my urls. This is a demo of what it is supposed to be like: http://nodge.ru/yii-eauth/demo/login. When someone clicks on say google it should bring you to the google sign in page but on my application I am getting a 404 error that states "The system is unable to find the requested action "login"." The url for this is user/user/login/service/google_oauth whereas the url should read user/login/service/google_oauth. Upon typing this into the browser manually I am redirected to the right page.
So I took a look into the EAuthWidget.php class to see if I could find out where it was getting that extra "user" from but I could not figure it out. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I have this in the user module which is in the /modules/user directory in my webapp. I also tried to use the URLManager to point to the right address but with no luck.
Does anyone have any similar experiences setting this up? Or any suggestions?
You just need to change the widget initialization code in your view(namely change the action property of the widget), somewhat like this:
<h2>Do you already have an account on one of these sites? Click the logo to log in with it here:</h2>
<?php
$this->widget('ext.eauth.EAuthWidget', array('action' => 'login'));
?>
Just to add, keep in mind that this action depends on which view you are including this widget, if the view is protected/views/site/login.php (which is yii's default site login view) then action should be able to go to the yii-user module's login action, so it'll be : 'action'=>'/user/login' , however if you are including this widget in yii-user's protected/modules/user/views/user/login.php then the action will be 'login' as already mentioned.

ruby on rails 3, render multiple views in one view

I have a problem and I dont know how to solve it.
I have a user that log in a web site, and I identify them by session[:user_id] and user has a status page that is defined in user_controller and in status view.
So, I would like to make one page for admin, to see all the statuses from all users on one page, using already written controller and view.
Is that possible?
I could rewrite some of the code, so that I could call with params, like ?user_id=70 and then set session[:user_id]=params[:user_id], but it would be painful if I will have to rewrite whole statuses, beside i would have to maintain same code on 2 different places.
Thank you.

If you need more functionality in your controller, you can add more actions to it. You can also do that in a resourcefull way.
On the other hand it usually is best practice to keep controllers thin.
See: ActionController
In order to make your views reusable, you should use partials.
You could make a _user_status partial.html.erb and render a single partial for a user render all of them for an admin.

Rails3: Upon Devise log in, route to document identified in database

My Rails3 app uses Devise for authentication.
Just after clicking the "log in" button, I want each user to be routed to a given document (id of this document is stored in database, changes often).
Is there a best-practice to handle this in Rails3?
I see two options:
Create a single huge page, which checks the database and renders the appropriate document accordingly.
In app/controllers/application_controller.rb, check the database and route accordingly to the right document.
Which is best? Any smarter idea?
You could override the after_sign_in_path_for hook in your login controller (or application controller) to be something like:
def after_sign_in_path_for(resource_or_scope)
if resource_or_scope.is_a?(User)
#Whatever url you need to here
else
super
end
end
and that should do the trick.
