Can't generate views into another directory

[holdenhinkle]

Hi @janko ,

I'm setting up rodauth-rails for the first time. I'm thrilled with how easy it's been so far. Thank you for creating this Gem!

I'm writing because I'm not able to generate the rodauth views in another directory.

When I run rails generate rodauth:views --name admin, the following views are generated:

√ dating-app % rails generate rodauth:views --name admin
The dependency tzinfo-data (>= 0) will be unused by any of the platforms Bundler is installing for. Bundler is installing for ruby but the dependency is only for x86-mingw32, x86-mswin32, x64-mingw32, java. To add those platforms to the bundle, run `bundle lock --add-platform x86-mingw32 x86-mswin32 x64-mingw32 java`.

I expected the views to be generated into app/views/admin.

Before running that generator I set the the controller for the admin configuration to:

    rails_controller { Admin::RodauthController }

Here's the controller which is in `/app/controllers/admin/rodauth_controller.rb:

module Admin
  class RodauthController < ApplicationController
    # used by Rodauth for rendering views, CSRF protection, and running any
    # registered action callbacks and rescue_from handlers
    layout :rodauth_layout

    private
  
    def rodauth_layout
      case request.path
      when rodauth(:admin).login_path,
           rodauth(:admin).create_account_path,
           rodauth(:admin).verify_account_path,
           rodauth(:admin).reset_password_path,
           rodauth(:admin).reset_password_request_path
        "authentication"
      else
        "admin"
      end
    end
  end
end

I copied the generated views from /views/rodauth over to the /views/admin but they're not being picked up when I hit https://localhost:3000/admin/login -- the builtin rodauth templates are being rendered.

Can you please tell me what I might be doing wrong here? Or what I'm missing?

Thank you,

Holden

The documentation was showing an incorrect option name for rodauth:views, it should be --directory instead of --name.

The reason the templates weren't picked up is that Admin::RodauthController will look for templates inside app/views/admin/rodauth, not in app/views/admin.

These links are now pointing to the root directory:

Create a New Account
Forgot Password?
Resend Verify Account Information

They were pointing to https://localhost:3000/admin/ before.

Do I need to update them in this each block in app/views/admin/rodauth/_login_form_footer.html.erb?

    <% rodauth.login_form_footer_links.sort.each do |_, link, text| %>
      <li><%= link_to text, link %></li>
    <% end %>

Or should they be working like before? (Meaning, something is wrong.)

Update...

I think something is wrong with the paths that are being generated. When I tried submitting the login form I got this error:

Routing Error
No route matches [POST] "/login"
Rails.root: /Users/holdenhinkle/Documents/Projects/dating-app

Btw, when I remove the /views/admin/rodauth/ directory, the paths that are generated in the builtin templates are correct...

[janko]

Aha, in admin templates you'll need to replace all references of rodauth, which uses the main configuration, with rodauth(:admin), which uses the admin configuration.

I'll also improve the generator so that this is done automatically.

Awesome, thank you Janko! It's working perfectly now.

I'm totally in love with rodauth and rodauth-rails. Thank you Jeremy and Janko!!
