Cell rendered even if before_filter renders earlier about cells HOT 5 CLOSED

I currently see no solution for that in Cells. The explicit #render does not track if it already rendered - and I think that's a good thing. I really don't like the hidden semantics of the before_filter in Rails. Can I help you otherwise?

What are you trying to do in your (real) before_filter? And, where are our comments?

from cells.

All comments seem to disappear silently.

I wanted to do redirect to different view when user is not authenticated (eg. to display him "Log in to comment" instead of comment form). Now Im doing following

def new
  return render :view => "new/noaccess" unless user_signed_in?
  render
end

Im not a big fan of filters, but as it works this way in controllers, I expected similar in Cells.

Ok, that looks cool!

Cells are not all-mighty controllers as the ActionController, they are derived from AbstractController and have limited abilities. This is good.

BTW- did you already consider using view inheritance instead of if's? I could blog about that.........

I am not really familiar with view inheritance in cells, so it would be great to read some more about it, especially how it could solve problems like pre-authorization.

Btw, another way I couldn't really find is how to handle forms to work smoothly with restful routing, eg. processing comment form embedded somewhere inside post site.

I have to play around with authorization plugins, maybe we can do something easy and generic with what you call pre-authorization!

Could you post some more details about that restful problem, maybe in a separate issue?
