I want to have a form to change a users password. I can''t figure out
what the method in the controller should look like. I tried @user.save
and @user.update_attributes, but can''t get it to work.
My Form:
##############################
<%= start_form_tag :action => "update_password", :id =>
@user.id %>
<%= password_field ("user", "password", :size => 20)
%>
<%= password_field ("user", "password_confirmation",
:size => 20) %>
<%= submit_tag "Change Password" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
In My Controller:
###############################
def update_password
return unless request.post?
@user = User.find(params[:id])
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
flash[:notice] = ''User password was successfully updated.''
redirect_to :action => ''edit'', :id => @user
else
render :action => ''edit'', :id => @user
end
end

What I wrote earlier was actually working, I was testing with a password that was too short. When I added <%= error_messages_for (:user) %> it showed the error. Thanks for the tip/reminder.
