Pass blocks to before/after filter methods using :with option
Reported by Brennan Dunn | August 31st, 2008 @ 10:47 PM | in 2.x
I recently found a need to have an application-wide before_filter perform differently from certain controllers. I thought it could be useful to do something like:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protected
def redirect_unless_logged_in
block_given? ? yield(self) : redirect_to(login_path)
end
end
class SpecialController
before_filter :redirect_unless_logged_in, :with => proc { |c| c.redirect_to special_login_path }
end
Obviously, this wouldn't work for an around filter.

Typo in documentation. SpecialController should extend ApplicationController (applies to ticket example, also).
Revised patch attached.

When you want something special, you can just overwrite redirect_unless_logged_in in the SpecialController. It'll work by inheritance.
