Question Regarding Authentication

[Darren884]

Is there something I can use so I don't have to call a method that checks if the user is logged in inside of all my methods I want user authentication on?

Maybe Restful Authentication?

While following the tutorial, I installed the plugin and made the changes as per the tutorial's instructions and everything worked fine.

if you create a helper that checks for logged in status and redirects to a login page if not, you could use a "before filter" at the top of the controller to make sure that code executes before the controller starts on the action.

Thanks guys I think I will try both and see which one works best.
