How do I use forms and validates_confirmation_of with fields that
aren''t actually in the model? For instance, user passwords are stored
in the database as password_hash and password_salt. The field
"password" isn''t actually in the table, but comes in from the
form and
is set to the model using a def password=() method.
When using password_field or password_field_tag in the view for the
user sign up form, I get an exception that no method exists for
"password" (since it''s not in the model)? I got around this
by adding
def password
@password
end
To the model, but then validates_confirmation_of will not work (always
says fields don''t match). How do I properly set this up to handle the
"password" field so that I can use it in forms and use the validation
features on it?
Thanks
