This is incredibly basic, but...
I have a form that has fields defined for password and
password_confirmation. it is passing in the following data
Parameters: {"commit"=>"Change Password",
"admin"=>{"password_confirmation"=>"beagle",
"password"=>"beagle"},
"id"=>"3"
I thought that processing the form data was a simple matter of
referencing params[:password] - but that is a nil value. It appears to
me that the password post data is within a hash within the hash. The
data is there, but the reference form is unclear.
What is the correct reference to the post data? e.g. how do I reference
the :password field?
Please forgive the very basic question.
---Michael

well you can access that information from params[:admin][:password] the admin hash is because you probably put in your form like this <% = password_field "admin", "password" %> or in a form_for construct.. if you wanted to access just params[:password] you can do something like.. <%= password_field_tag "password", nil %> jason.

The params field is a tad more involved (in a very good way) than it appears on the surface. The data is there, but the referencing needs to be done in the right way. I never cease to be amazed at the willingness of the people here to help people come up on rails. I do appreciate the help and promise to do my homework. ---Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
