I''m trying to create a simple authentication system but am failing miserably. I''m (sort of) following the "Logging In" chapter of the Agile book.

Is there an expert validater that can point me in the right direction? I''ve looked for extended documentation on ''validates_presence_of'' but i can''t seem to find any.

Controller code def create @client = Client.new(params[:client]) if @client.save! flash[:notice] = ''Client was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action =>

I''m trying to assign a parent foreign key value using collection_select from my child "new" form.
