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 form and it doesn''t trigger an error,

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

I am trying to make a barebones login system based on this example (which in turn is just standard RoR login) but when I enter a user name and password, it says the login is unsuccessful every time. I am not sure where I am going wrong. Here is all relevent information CREATE TABLE `users` ( `id` int(6) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `login` varchar(20) NOT NULL default

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

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

Besides the hashed password, which is saved to db, I have two password-attributes in my User model: attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation I have validations on these attributes, and I need them to work both on create and update, since I have pages for changing and resetting the password. Now when I want to update just the user''s login name, I guess I have the next

The code that comes with the plugin uses a method that looks like this: def password_required? crypted_password.blank? or not password.blank? end with validations that look like this: validates_presence_of :password, :if => :password_required? validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_required? validates_length_of

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

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''m in the process of creating a sign up form for an online application. The form collects account info, company info, and then info for an administrative user. The method looks like this: def create @account = Account.create!(params[:account]) @company = @account.companies.create!(params[:company]) @user = @company.users.create!(params[:user]) end However, this inevitably fails

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

Is there an addition to the Rails Recipe or the method in AWDWR to allow a user to change his/ her password? I have put something together that does all the work again - mostly because I''m not sure how to leverage on methods like ''password='' that are defined in the model. Has anyone got a ready sample that I could learn from? Right now, I''m basically

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

Hi, I''m trying to implement password confirmation, based on the Agile example, but just can''t make any progress. User DB has these fields: ========================= t.column :name, :string, :limit => 40 t.column :hashed_password, :string t.column :salt, :string User model has: =============== attr_accessor :password_confirmation

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. Now at clicnt side I want to validate equality of password & confirm_password field. How to do that? I have downloaded one password validator plugin & tried to used it. But it requirs two seperate fields in

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

Can anyone out there tell me how to add a class or id property to a link using link_to_remote? I''ve been banging my head on this for far too long. Thanks Clint

Hello folks, this is the first time I''ve written to this forum. If there''s already a topic on this, forgive me but the search isn''t working right now. I seem to have a problem validating confirmation of a password. The first two snippets are some model code and some test code that work just fine: ---------------------------- class Challenge < ActiveRecord::Base
