Hi, Users can edit their own passwords in my app. But when they leave both password-fields (_confirmation) empty, they get "" as their password. Is their a way to get around this problem? This is my userobject when I try to save it: --- !ruby/object:User attributes: updated_at: 2007-07-16 21:54:27 id: "2" firstname: Leon lastname: Bogaert password: "" account_number: 53.76.68.829 email: leon-uqieUXqmKe0iy20DiJE0iw@public.gmane.org created_at: 2007-03-29 00:24:21 password_confirmation: "" Thanks in advance! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Add this in your User model: validates_presence_of :password validates_presence_of :password_confirmation validates_confirmation_of :password p.s. I would use the restful_authentication or act_as_authenticated plugins for logins :) On Jul 16, 4:59 pm, LeonB <l...-uqieUXqmKe0iy20DiJE0iw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi, > > Users can edit their own passwords in my app. But when they leave both > password-fields (_confirmation) empty, they get "" as their password. > Is their a way to get around this problem?

PatRoy,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I don''t use a standard plugin for educational purposes.
When an user does not fill in his or her password it shouldn''t give an
error. The system should just not update the password.
This is (a part of) my usermodel:
MINIMUM_PASSPHRASE_LENGTH = 8
MAXIMUM_PASSPHRASE_LENGTH = 64
validates_presence_of :password,
:on => :create,
:message => "^Geen wachtwoord ingevuld"
validates_length_of :password,
:in =>
MINIMUM_PASSPHRASE_LENGTH..MAXIMUM_PASSPHRASE_LENGTH,
:if => Proc.new { |u| !
u.password.blank? },
:too_long => "Het wachtwoord mag maximaal %d tekens lang
zijn",
:too_short => "^Het wachtwoord moet minimaal %d tekens lang
zijn"
validates_confirmation_of :password,
:if => Proc.new { |u| !
u.password.blank? },
:message => "^De wachtwoorden komen niet overeen"

Thanks PayRoy! But I would rather not do that in my controller. It''s kind of business logic. So it would be more suitable to place it in my model.

Thanks Patroy! But I would like to implement the code in my model. It''s kind of business logic so I would like to implement it in the proper place. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi I just stumbled on to this
heres my solution:
validates_presence_of :password, :password_confirmation,
:on => :update,
:if => :req_password?
def req_password?
!password.blank?
end
hope this helps.

Thanks Meng and Wim! But if the password is empty it will be saved to the database (empty). I think I''ll use the empty? function to set the password to the old value. Thanks for the help!

Mhhh... just thought about something. Maybe I can use before_save() to set the original password when empty or nil. Is there a way to extract a single value from the database? Without using a query ofcourse :) That''s something I do in php.
