Hi all, first off, let me say I am new to the Rails framework. With that being said, please let me know if there is a better way of doing this. I have a user object that contains some flags, is_active being one of them. When I sign up a user, I don''t want someone to be able to set that field by hacking the form, so I was going to use attr_protected. However, in the admin application, I would like that is_active field to be able to be set. Is there a way to do this without having to check for that field before I save? Let me know if there are any clarifications needed. Thanks in advance. - J -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
