I am using CanCan 2.0 gem for authorization and high_voltage gem for static pages.
In my routes.rb file I have:
match 'about' => 'high_voltage/pages#show', id: 'about'
And I want to make it public in my ability.rb file, but none of these two lines do that:
can :read, :pages
can :read, 'high_voltage/pages'
How do I fix this?
Isn't this problem related to the fact that there is no model 'Page'? There is cancan wiki, how to deal with this situation: it should work when you add
authorize_resource :class => false
to your controller.
If it's static pages in the traditional sense, then that won't work. Static pages completely bypass the Rails stack and are served directly from the file system. What I would recommend doing is still caching these as static pages, but having a controller that checks the permission and then serves the static page.
