is there any special requirement for validates_confirmation_of ? I am trying to make sure 2 passwords are equal (cleanly the rails way).. In my view i have two fields with id user[password] and user[password_confirmation]. in the model i have validates_confirmation_of :password, :message =>"Passwords do not match " Am i missing something her...

I just can''t get validates_confirmation_of working for the life of me!... It''s not the first time I''m having problems with it but I just never understand why!... This time I pretty much followed *exactly* the example in Agile Rails Development and still...it just won''t work! I put 2 different passwords in the for...

...ssword_confirmation = confirmation if valid? and oldpass == passhash save! else # valid? method clears errors so we have to call this after it errors.add_to_base ''Invalid current password'' unless oldpass == passhash false end end I also have validates_confirmation_of :password at the bottom of my model. At some point in time (can''t remember when), the valid? method stopped complaining when a confirmation isn''t provided. I have logged the values of self.password and self.password_confirmation at the point that valid? is called and self.passwo...

...n this, forgive me but the search isn''t working right now. I seem to have a problem validating confirmation of a password.

Hi Railers, I''m past considering myself a noob in Rails land - I think what I''m up against here is more of a bug or an anomaly that I''m unaware of (or that has changed in a recent version). I had a fully working validates_confirmation_of :email_address field in my app - was one of the first things I set up, extremely simple, been working for a long time. Then one day I notice that it''s not working any more - the validator basically doesn''t care if you fill in the email_address field but not email_address_conf...

...email address by typing it in again. However, the user might change things on their account not related to their email address, such as their phone number, and they should not have to confirm their email address. I suppose I can add an email_confirmation field to the database, and then use validates_confirmation_of :email But, this seems rather wasteful and silly to store both the email and the email_confirmation. I understand that the model need not store the field in the database, but then in that case User.find(:first) ... fiddle with attributes other than email address ... User.save (rightly) throws...

Hello to everyone, Well, very frustrated with this one because I am following the example straight from the documentation and it is not working. First when I try: validates_confirmation_of :password, :on => :password_update (password_update is a def in my User model which works fine without this validation in please) I get the following error: TypeError in UsersController#update_password nil is not a symbol [Full trace at the end of this message.] However, if I do only this:...

...validations that look like this: validates_presence_of :password, :if => :password_required? validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_required? validates_length_of :password, :within => 5..40, :if => :password_required? validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :password_required? I though the validations_presence_of :password_confirmation was a bit redundant, so I removed it. Unfortunately, that breaks the password_required? method. Here''s how I fixed it: def password_required? logger.debug(''...

hello, i am writing a simple user login system. when registering a user account, i have two field: password password_confirmation which are validated using validates_presence_of validates_confirmation_of and these are then used to generate a password hash which is stored in my database when i want to update the record (without changing the password and entering new values for password and password_confirmation), using the update_attributes method, i am getting errors thrown up by this validat...

I am just going through the book and I come across a problem with the code in the app/models: validates_format_of :image_url, :with => %r{^http:.+\.(gif|jpg|png)$}i, :message => "must be a URL for a GIF, JPG, or PNG image" It seems to moan when it''s empty even though I removed :image_url from validates_presence_of. How should I make it optional?

I was just faced with a strange ROLLBACK exception when attempting to execute this code: $ rails console user = User.first User Load (1.1ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" ORDER BY "users"."id" ASC LIMIT 1 => #<User id: 1, name: "Michael Hartl", email: "foo-+RB1Aph5k6s@public.gmane.org", created_at: "2013-05-12

I am unsure how to use a confirmation only field in my forms. The perfect example is when registering a user, you want them to type their password twice but you only want to have one record for it. The form fields; user[password] user[password_confirmation] form posted; user = User.new @params[:user] Error is thrown because there is no method for password_confirmation. -- Posted via

Hi, I have a form for user registration. In that form there are fields for password & confirm_password. Now in my database there is column corresponding to password field.

I''m having a problem with my User model. Originally I had alot of validation, including this: validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :password validates_length_of :password, :within => 4..50 validates_confirmation_of :password However, this made it impossible to edit a user without setting his password, which I don''t want. So I tried to isolate the above validations in the before_create method, but that didn''t work too well: "undefined method validates_presence_of for model <User>...

Does anyone know of a way to update individual attributes with validation? update_attribute disables the validation checks in the record model, so I''m wondering if there''s a workaround for this. In my application, I want to allow the user to update some or all the attributes without having to enter :password and :password_confirmation, both of which are subject to
