How to make Monologue work with current authentication system?

[Alxs]

Hi,

Is there any documentation or tutorial available explaining how to integrate Monologue with a host application's pre-existing authentication system?

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

I don't think so.

Hi again,

So two separate logins are unavoidable?

I'm not entirely sure, but there is no doc AFAIK. That said Monologue is quite simple so it might be easy to change that for your needs.

It's a bit late, but I just got started with Monologue (so far so good!).

You need to monkey patch the Monologue::User class to use your existing users (or whatever you call it) table. This is covered very briefly in the following:

However, you will need to make sure that your users table has name and password_digest fields, which is what the Monologue::User model expects.

There are a few other caveats that I encountered, such as having to store the monologue_user_id in session manually, like so:

session[:monologue_user_id] = session[:user_id]

Hope that helps!
