Hey guys, I''m trying to have a simple webform in my administration section to add a user. I have the text_fields for adding the user''s name, password, and password confirmation, but cannot seem to figure out the checkbox. I want it to be a single checkbox, that if clicked, will set the database column "access" to be "admin" and if its unchecked, set it to be

If there is an error with the submitted password on a form, then both the password and password confirmation text fields should be highlighted in red. The default seems to be to highlight only the password field. Any suggestions on how to correct that? Because rails magically handles the highlighting, I''m not sure how to intercept that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --

Hi, newbie here. :) i have this form on a test rails app: <% form_for @user do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %> <p> <%= f.label :username %><br /> <%= f.text_field :username %> </p> <p> <%= f.label :email %><br /> <%= f.text_field :email %> </p> <p> <%= f.label :password %><br

Newb here. I have a form and a value that is being displayed ... and I have no idea where the value came from. I have done a <%= debugger; '''' %> in the form and, indeed, the debugger stops at the statement. I have tried to trace through the code to see where the value came from ... and I gave up. So ... what in Rails initializes the fields of a form? -- Posted via

Rails newbie here, I have been stuck on this for two days and can''t figure out why its not working. I want users to confirm/verify themselves by entering their current/old password before any information is updated. This is what My user_controller update action looks like I''m currently using rails 3.2 with the basic has_secured_password authentication that comes with it. def

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 here ? thanks adam

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,

I want to have a form to change a users password. I can''t figure out what the method in the controller should look like. I tried @user.save and @user.update_attributes, but can''t get it to work. My Form: ############################## <%= start_form_tag :action => "update_password", :id => @user.id %> <%= password_field ("user",

Hello there, this is probably a very simple problem but I''m stuck. I''m following the Login generator tutorial from rubyonrails. It''s all worked fine so far. But I want to add a bit more functionality so that when a user signs up in addition to chosing a login name and password they type in a company name which is added to a seperate table called COMPANIES. The id

I am trying to set a default value in a text_field form. I know how to do this in html, but is there a way to do this with form_for Here is my code <% form_for :user do |f| -%> <p><label for="firstname"%>First Name</label><br/> <%= f.text_field :firstname%></p> ... <p><label for ="email"%>Email</label><br/>

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

I was thinking today, it would be nice if a view could tell a model how to format it''s data for that particular view. Kind of like, the view is bestowing instant, and temporary knowledge on the model for the duration of the views run. It seemed to me that this would be more objecty than say a helper that formats a string format_my_string( my_string ) Instead, in my view. Lets assume I

I had a similar problem yesterday. I would go to the root of my site and I would get a Too Many Redirects message. It seems like there was an infinite loop. After struggling for over an hour yesterday late at night, it seemed like I fixed it. But now, when I want to create a New User, it''s redirecting me to the Sign In screen. Seems like I didn''t fix the problem completely. I

Hey all, I know that this: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 -- if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id means that I have an instance variable that has not been initialized. However, I''m a little confused as to what to do in a signup form for form_for: <% content_for :login do %> <% form_for @user, :url => { :action => "login" } do

Hey guys & ladies! I''ve got the following relationship which i''m trying to get accepts_nested_attributes to work with. But when i submit my form, it looks as if its expecting a Company object, rather than an array of companies. which really doesn''t make sense considering its a has_many :relationship. So what i''m after, is a way to
