Simple Admin Functionality in Rails 3

Question

I want to add administrator functionality to my webapp with Rails version 3. I want something very simple, there will be only one administrator, this functionality does not need a username field, just a password field. I do not know how to do this, can you help me?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use scaffolding to create form code and controller code.

and here the question arises: Backend management in Ruby on Rails

Check out this Railscast for a simple HTTP HTTP check :

# products_controller.rb before_filter :authenticate protected def authenticate authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password| username == "foo" && password == "bar" end end 

Just!
