Rails - Oct 2007 - simple_captcha + model

Hi Experts,

l have model called User
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  apply_simple_captcha
end

in view
<%= show_simple_captcha(:object=>"user") %>

in controller
@user = User.fiind(params[:id])
if @user.valid_with_captcha?
    if @user.update_attributes(params[:use])
            --------
    else
           ---------
    end
else
    --------------------
end


as per this code is working fine, but all the text which i''ve entered
in textfields are cleared, and shows error appropriate error like
first_name and last_name is blank but i feeded all the data correct
way except the captcha value, which shouldnt happen.

Plz help me guys, i''m stuck up with that

TIA,

Bala

First, it seems to me that a model is not where a captcha might want
to go.  I personally feel it should be in the controller and view, but
not in the model.

That said, I have a helper method (well, once I refactor it out into a
method) which generates the captcha (for the view) and a simple
function which validates it and returns either :success, :failure, or
nil.  :success means it matched.  :failure means it did not.  nil
means it could not perform the check, either because it could not
reach the servers or some internal error to my code.  I treat this as
:success and move on.
