I''m about to push a change related with this but definitely is not
going to solve your problem. You need a database field or a field
reader. Also your code doesn''t work even before my commit. You can
check it out ...
Let''s review it ...
object.respond_to?(method_name + "_before_type_cast") ?
object.send(method_name + "_before_type_cast") :
object.send(method_name)
Your object doesn''t respond_to password_before_type_cast so this code
ends trying to execute object.send(''password'') and you
don''t have a
reader neither.
Oliver, perhaps what you want to do is f.password_field :password, :value =>
''''
and instead of writing the password= method you can do attr_writer :password ;)
I hope my message can clarify the situation.
Cheers,
Santiago.
