overriding actions(search,show,edit,delete,new)

[mounika-allagadda]

Hi,

I want to call a function logged_in? whenever an action is performed.
Is it possible by overriding the corresponding methods?

For ex: show_search is being called when I click on search.
So if I define show_search as below in application_controller.rb, will it serve my purpose?

    def show_search
      self.logged_in?
      respond_to_action(:search)
    end

I tried doing that, but ended up with the following error:

AbstractController::ActionNotFound (The action 'show_search' could not be found for XxxController)

Can someone let me know how to proceed?

Thanks.

What about a filter?

before_action :allow_search

private

def allow_search
unless logged_in?
active_scaffold_config.actions.delete :search
end
end

Hi naaano,

The solution you gave is perfect for what I have asked for. But it's not serving my purpose.
So, let me put my question in another way.

I want to call that function whenever I send the request to the server. Can I do that?

Because when I added the code you suggested, the request is being denied with 307 status before the filter is called.

Thanks.

I want to make a dummy request something like this in my code.

But not sure where to add this(in which file).

Can someone help me with this?

I don't really understand you, 307 status code is not denied, it's redirect status code. I don't know why you get that without seeing your code. And I don't understand what you want to do. What is that dummy request? What does it relate to show_search?

If you want to add a link to make request to some action, you can add action_link:

config.action_links.add :action, type: :member

Use type: :member for adding link for each record, use type: :collection for adding link in table links, next to show search and create links.
If your action returns html to display you can set position: :after to display below row (or :top to display above rows if :collection link), or position: :replace to hide row. If your action returns nothing or JS, use position: false
