Dashboard Location plugin

Plugin details

I was wanting to implement Basecamp-like urls to a project I was working on and found that account_location was only half of my soloution while dashboard_location was only 3 quarters. Attached is a project-agnostic(no setting variables, do not worry) library for Rails.

Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/zachinglis/rails-plugins.git

In controllers such as sessions_controller where you want people to be using the subdomain, use: 

    before_filter :should_add_subdomain_for_home_if_logged_in
    before_filter :protect_controller_if_no_dashboard


For controllers that should not be accessed through a subdomain, such as content controllers, use: 

    before_filter :redirect_dashboard_calls


That is it! Just use methods like logged_in anywhere you like and it will work as you hope.

Installation:

Drag the dashboard_location.rb to your lib folder in your Rails directory.

Perform: 

  ruby ./script/generate model Home permalink:string name:string


I use this in conjunction with Technoweenies permalink_fu to automatically generate the permalink. If you want to add the following code, else skip it: 

    has_permalink :name


Add this to your signup process. Ryan address how to do similiar things here: http://railscasts.com/episodes/75
