Hi
For my users model, the password field cannot be the same as the
username, which is checked by the validate method in the model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
...
def validate
if password == username
errors.add(:password, "Cannot be the username")
end
end
end
This works fine when creating a new user. However it fails when a
user wants to change their password.
The reason it fails is that the update/edit form view does *not* let
the user change their username (usernames are static). So when the
validate method (above) is ran it does not know what the username is.
What is the rails-way for tackling this?
thanks!

Well, I''ve partly fixed it by including a username hidden field. That way the username pararmeter will always be passed Not sure if thats the rails-way or not? :) On 09/10/2006, at 3:33 PM, Jason Bowerman wrote:> Hi > > For my users model, the password field cannot be the same as the > username, which is checked by the validate method in the model: > > > class User < ActiveRecord::Base > ... > def validate > if password == username > errors.add(:password, "Cannot be the username") > end > end > end > > > This works fine when creating a new user.

Can you post some more information on your model? Relationships / validtaions. Not sure if it will help but some more information would be good.
