authlogic

Hi all!

I need to know the ID of the current user in a model:

def after_save
  desc, points=nil, nil

  if answer_index == daily_question.correct_answer_index 
    desc = I18n.t('daily_question.point_log.description.correct') 
    points=daily_question.points
  else
    desc = I18n.t('daily_question.point_log.description.incorrect')
  end

  current_user.give_points(:description => desc,
                           :points => points
                          )
end

But I guess that is not how it is done?

Regards,

Jacob
