Overriding the CommentsController

If you need some custom behaviour on the comments controller, you can easily override Opinio's controller

First, create your own class inheriting from the engine's controller

class MyCommentsController < Opinio::CommentsController
  def create
    authorize! :create, Comment
    super
  end
end

Now we just need to redirect the default routes to your new controller, and that is done by changing the routes.rb with this:

opinio_model :controller => 'my_comments'

Inside the controller, you have access to a few internal helpers of opinio:

• resource the object that is getting commented
• resource_name

Good overriding :)
