    <p>I am currently developing a facebook app which will require the user to be signed in prior to being able to access the app.</p> <p>I have a <code>before_filter</code> on the <code>application_controller</code> to check if the user is logged in and if not redirect them to the proper sign in path.</p> <p>This is the code thus far:</p> <pre><code>Application Controller before_filter :check_sign_in def check_sign_in unless user_signed_in? redirect_to signin_path end private def current_user begin @current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id] rescue Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound nil end end def user_signed_in? return true if current_user end </code></pre> <p>I have my <code>routes.rb</code> I have the following for <code>signin_path</code></p> <pre><code>match '/signin' =&gt; 'sessions#new', :as =&gt; :signin </code></pre> <p>My <code>sessions#new</code> action looks as follows</p> <pre><code>def new redirect_to '/auth/facebook' end </code></pre> <p>The problem at hand though is with this I am getting a redirect loop error on which is reading as follows</p> <blockquote> <p>This webpage has a redirect loop<br> The webpage at <a href="http://localhost:3000/signin" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:3000/signin</a> has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.</p> </blockquote> <p>This seems to be more than likely because the sign in process to facebook also has a callback which I suspect is whats causing the loop. Is there a better approach to ensure a user is logged or another method to go about achieving what I had in mind?</p> <p>I am currently using Rails 3.1.3,<br> Ruby 1.9.3,<br> omniauth-facebook 1.2.0,<br> omniauth 1.0.2</p>

    1. COHrm, `before_Filter` -- I'm just now noticing the spelling mistake. Is it as simple as fixing your spelling mistake? Or was this code re-typed rather than copy-and-pasted? (Please don't retype.)

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
