Working through the beginning phase from the Agile book on ''Administration'' undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0xb7911324> ... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in `method_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/user.rb:12:in `before_create''

I have an error I don''t know how to debug. I am adding the login suport in Depot (the example in the RoR book) and LoginController#add_user throws ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in an innocent /login/add_user GET request. The trace goes down to a call to SQLiteAdapter#table_structure, and the source code suggests what''s happening is that "PRAGMA

Hi list, first evening of playing with rails, so please forgive me if I ask something stupid. ;-) I created a User model and tried to use ActiveRecord callbacks to convert the password to sha1 just before saving it. For some reason postgresql gives me a error because the given password is null. To test even further I tried to change :login too, same error happens, :login is empty too. I am sure

I''m trying to follow along with the Agile Development with Ruby on Rails book and have encountered a problem with code having the following syntax (partial class provided): require "digest/sha1" class User < ActiveRecord::Base private def self.hash_password(password) Digest:SHA1.hexdigest(password) end end I''m getting an error as: undefined method

I have seen this numerious times and still have no idea what it means: undefined method `stringify_keys!'' for "blah22":String I am tring to change a password. My code looks like: def change_password @user = User.find_by_emailaddr( params[:email] ) if @user.nil? # user profile not created flash[:notice] = "<b style = \"color:red\">No such

In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

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

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

how can i access to a collection that was created in the same control and the data that a want to access isn?t the id the collection has : id, usuario, comandancia comandancia is the data to access the question is how to access comandancia in @acceso this code is wrong : def new @catelemento = Catelemento.new @acceso= Catacceso.find(:all, :conditions

i think self.method just like class method,so if i want to define it as a private method,i should use private_class_method :my_method but i found follow code in < <Agile Web Development with Rails>> private def self.hash_password(password) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password) end just a mistake or there have some thing which i cannot get?

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 building an app right now that needs to grant access to three levels of members right now - each will have their own table in the DB. When creating the add_user action I am converting the password into a hashed password through the model. The way I am doing this right now, I will inevitably end up with repeated code in three different models. Is there a way I can define this code in

Folks, Am new to RoR and am building an example to get myself familiar. I am running into a simple issue while creating a user registration page. I have a User and Address models defined as below (partial/relevant code included below). User has_one address and Address belongs_to user. I have a foreign key defined in address table that refers to user(id) In a form I take in username, password,

Hi *, In an attempt to go back to the drawing board and learn RoR some more - I have built the depot application from the agile book. After finishing I tried to create a user for the admin section, however when ever I go to: http://localhost:3000/login/add_user It redirects to the login action, I don''t see the [add user] submit button?? I am sure this is connected to the

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

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

Hi! I have just added login feature to my rails application (followed the instruction from (Agile Web Development with Rails) but now I am getting strange errors (looks to me like some kind of routing problem) under the passenger/apache. The error is: 500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. From the log:

I''ve got a User model, which holds the following (excerpt): def try_to_authenticate User.authenticate(self.username, self.password) end .. private def self.hash_password(password) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password) end def self.authenticate(username, password) @user = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["username = ? AND password = ?",

I am trying to use an expanded version of the User Login from the Agile Web Development with Rails book. It takes the user name and password but then says "Invalid user/password combination". Looking at the log everything seems to be fine until it sends the query to MySQL. The query shows that the name is '''' instead of the name that was passed to the self.login

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
