Rails - May 2006 - User.new doesn´t capture all of the parameters

Hi,

I have a page where I can add new users to the database, but it only  
sees whats in the name and passord field.

add_user.rhtml:
	<%= form_tag %>
	<%= form_tag :action => ''add_user'' %>

	<td>User name:</td>
	<td><%= text_field("user", "name")
%></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Password:</td>
		<td><%= password_field("user", "password")
%></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
     	<td>Company:</td>
     	<td><%= text_field("user", "company")
%></td
<tr>

The database looks like this:
create table users (
	id      int           not null auto_increment,
	name    varchar(100)	not null,
	company varchar(100)  not null,
	ownnumber int					not null,
	sendt   int           not null,
	count   int           not null,
	msg_limit		int           not null,
	access_level		varchar(50)   not null,
	hashed_password	char(40)	not null,
	primary key	(id)
);

login_controller.rb:

   def add_user
     if request.get?
       @user = User.new
     else

       @user.company = (params[:user][:company])		# Tried first  
without this line, since I didn?t see any for name and password.
												# I hoped the one below would capture all the fields.

       @user = User.new(params[:user])				# How come this doesn''t  
manage to save whats in "company", "ownnumber" etc. ?

       puts "DEBUG: add_user() user is  #{@user.name} from the  
company #{@user.company}, count is #{@user.count}" # this is empty
       if @user.save

         redirect_to(:controller => "numbers", :action =>
"index")

       end
     end
   end

Debug info:
Parameters: {"user"=>{"name"=>"test3",
"company"=>"family",
"ownnumber"=>"555983781",
"count"=>"10", "access_level"=>"",
"password"=>"SECRET"}}

How come  @user = User.new(params[:user] doesn?t saves whats in  
"company", "count" etc. ?


I?ll be very grateful to everyone that comes with suggestions or hint  
on what I?m doing wrong!



Kind regards,
Martin Stabenfeldt

Are you using attr_accessible or attr_protected in your User model? If 
you are, you''ll need to adjust them to allow company, count, etc to be 
mass-assigned.

See the API docs for more information:
