Ruby on Rails

Is it a boolean column?

We wind up setting @user = current_user, and then checking 

if @user.admin  

#current_user.admin should work just as well if you don't need to hang on to the actual signed in user.

…

end

Otherwise, 

@user.<column_name> == "admin"   #(or whatever you use)

cheers,

Bill

I know there is a current_user method for devise, but how do you check if the user is admin?  (I've got a user flagged as admin).

I have a admin menu that I'd like to enable / disable when admin is logged in.

Thanks,

I'm trying to figure out how to compare my enddate > Time.now in my where clause.

enddate is a date field, I'm just trying to only display products that haven't expired (by the date field).

I've tried...

require 'time'

products.where(['enddate > ?', Time.now]) 

    require 'time'

    todaydate = Time.new
#    set 'todaydate' equal to the current date/time.

    todaydate = todaydate.year.to_s + "-" + todaydate.month.to_s + "-" + todaydate.day.to_s


    @title = @category.name
    @products = @category.products.where( 'draft' => false, 'active' => true, 'funded' => false)

I would hope this book tells you what versions of gems it was using!
If so you can specify those in your Gemfile and things should work.

However, if the Rails version in question is no longer supported, then
you're better off finding a current tutorial, API-specific or not.
