Rails - uninitialized constant Admin

I'm working to build an admin console for my app.

I added admin_controller.rb ... class AdminController < ApplicationController

I then added resources :admin to my routes.

I then added a model which is empty, as there is no DB table for the admin views, it's just reports off other tables:

class Admin < ActiveRecord::Base

end

The admin console won't have 开发者_Go百科a model in the db.

When I try to access the /admin view I get the error:

Access denied on index Admin(Table doesn't exist)

If you inherit from ActiveRecord::Base you're going to need a database table. If you don't need a database table then don't inherit from ActiveRecord::Base.

If you want to be able to use some of the features from active record, like validations or callbacks, you can include the modules you need. Here's a good write up that will explain everything:
