Setup init.rb and router.rb


      

      
 1 #init.rb

       5 ...
       6 
       7 Merb::BootLoader.before_app_loads do
       8   Merb::Slices::config[:merb_auth][:layout] = :application
       9 end
      10 
      11 ...

       9 
      10   # RESTful routes
      11   # r.resources :posts
      12   # This is the default route for /:controller/:action/:id
      13   # This is fine for most cases.  If you're heavily using resource-based
      14   # routes, you may want to comment/remove this line to prevent
      15   # clients from calling your create or destroy actions with a GET
      16   r.default_routes
      17 
      18   # Change this for your home page to be available at /
      19   # r.match('/').to(:controller => 'whatever', :action =>'index')
      20 end

       7   # ADD THIS FOR MERB-AUTH

       8   r.add_slice(:MerbAuth, :path => "", :default_routes => false) 

       9 

      10   # RESTful routes

      11   # r.resources :posts

      12   # This is the default route for /:controller/:action/:id
