N00b alert..
I have this code in my UserController:
def add_user
user = User.new
if @params["user"]["password"] ==
@params["user"]["password2"]
user.attributes = @params["user"]
user.save
end
end
How can I unset password2 since it''s not actually in the class? Or is
there a better way? I guess I could assign each field individually,
that how I have to do it?
Also, I''m wanting to md5 the password before saving it, what class is
that functionality in? Haven''t been able to find it in the docs yet.
Thanks,

Haven''t been able to find it in the docs yet.Take a look at Login Generator[1] or Salted Hash Login Generator[2]! 1: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/LoginGenerator 2: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/SaltedHashLoginGenerator bye Wolfgang
@params[''user''].delete(''password2'')

If you use it, you should name the second field "password_confirmation", after that the validation will kick in and you don''t have to take care of unsetting the field yourself. Of course, the main benefit is that you''ll get automatic validation for the equality of the two attributes. //jarkko [1] http://rails.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ ClassMethods.html#M000620> > Also, I''m wanting to md5 the password before saving it, what class is > that functionality in?

Just to complete the response to your questions: On 5/31/05, Greg Donald <destiney-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Also, I''m wanting to md5 the password before saving it, what class is > that functionality in?

My code looks like this: def add_user user = User.new user.attributes = @params["new_user"] user.password = Digest::MD5.digest(user.password) if user.save redirect_to :action => "index" else render end end I tried putting the require ''digest/md5'' pretty much everywhere, but it doesn''t seem to change much. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://destiney.com/
