I have a login section that is part of my view from my sign_up controller. Validating my user happens through a login_controller. Now if validation is good it is ok because I have a redirect in my login_controller. But if the login is not successful I have to go back to my view from my sign_up controller. Using redirect makes no sense because my @user_login object is lost and so are errors. How would you suggest I go about this? Thanks.

so you suggest I pass it like this for example: flash[:user] = @user_login And then access the object from flash[:user]?

You should not use the view to manipulate anything. For more information on MVC, you should read something like, http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/MVC.html http://www.indiawebdevelopers.com/technology/java/mvcarchitecture.asp These are java specific, but what is important here is to get the feel of what each component should do. - Adam
