I added a route through a plugin in my plugin.rb post “/generate” =\> “discoursegen#generate” which is running fine however when I do an ajax call on it the route wants me to use an api key? How can I set the route to be open access without auth? Thanks, Aedan. ---

`skip_before_filter :ensure_logged_in` in the controller should do it, assuming you want all endpoints of that controller to be unauth’d. ---
