    <p>I'm trying to only allow access to galleries by users who have permission to view them. Galleries have many shared_users through permissions, and vice versa. Galleries also have only one owner. Owners and shared users are both of the User class. This all works fine. The issue that I'm having, however, is with my access filters. </p> <p>I'm using the following code to see if a user is allowed to see the gallery they are trying to access:</p> <pre><code>def authenticate_viewers! if user_signed_in? &amp;&amp; current_user.can_view?(@gallery) return true end redirect_to root_url, :notice =&gt; "You must have permission to view this gallery." return false end </code></pre> <p>As you can see, <code>can_view?</code> requires the <code>@gallery</code> that I'm setting up in the <code>show</code> method, but a <code>before_filter</code> won't let you access the attributes set up in the method, since it resolves before the method executes. Using an <code>after_filter</code> works, as long as an unauthorized user doesn't try to view the gallery. If it does, I get a DoubleRender error, since <code>after_filter</code> allows the page to render, then tries to redirect.</p> <p>I just thought that I could perhaps use params[:id] instead of @gallery, though I haven't tried it yet, and ultimately this may be more efficient (passing an integer instead of an object). In any case, is there a way to make my current code work? or is it in my best interest to switch to using the params (if that's even going to work)?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
