2 quick questions regarding authentication ... 1) the flash[:notice] on successful login looks completely wrong to me. How should it be done? def index if request.post? @user = User.new(params[:user]) authentic_user = @user.attempt_login if authentic_user session[:user_id] = authentic_user.id flash[:notice] = ''Login successful! Welcome

Hello all, I just ran into something that I think is a bug, and I would like to confirm with the core team whether this is expected/desired behavior or if this is a bug that I should file and develop failing tests for (I doubt I have the active record method_missing fu to actually patch it). Test Scenario: I would like to find or initialize a new user and base the find on the users email

I''m having a helluva time getting Date.today.utc to resolve - "undefined method `utc'' for #<Date: 4908343/2,0,2299161>" model usage in before_create filter is : activated_at = Date.today.utc I''m not stubbing out Date (should I be?

I am having a problem finding the best way to make a "before_save :encrypt_password" conditional. I have to at times update user model attributes but each time I do this the password is reencrypted because of the above. I need to differentiate between when the user is first logging in and the password does need to be encrypted, and when they are already logged in and the

I''ve got a polymorphic association on one table. I assign to it in the controller. This is handling invitations of users to tasks in a task management application. If the user issuing the invitation is the user being invited (ie the user assigned themselves to a task), I want to activate the invitation immediately in the model. The trouble is that this: if self.assignable ==

First off, I''d like to address that I''m n00bs. I''ve read the README and blogs associated with this plugin, and there really isn''t too much documentation. I have the newest version of rails,ruby, and acts_as_authenticated installed. #The setup I set up the acts_as_authenticated in the following manner. *created a table called "accounts" in the

Hi, I successfully installed AAA couple days before, and i managed to register a uer with it, with no user activation. but for some strange reason, it stops working for the signup method, with i go to the signup page, press submit, it shows an error page, what''s wrong? here''s the error page. undefined method `activation_code'' for #<User:0x3b6dbd

I know how to avoid SQL injection attacks when you use :conditions User.find :first, :conditions => ["login=?", params[:username]] but how about with :order, :limit or :group? # uh-oh...spaghetti-oh User.find :first, :order => "login; delete from users; select * from users" Pat --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you

Hello there, I just noticed a kinda weird thing: if users log in with the ''Remember Me'' option enabled, their records in the db get updated everytime the user reloads a page, because apparently restful_authentication''s code updates the remember_token_expires_at & remember_token attributes for each page load (not only once on the actual login (from cookie).

Hi, I''ve got a problem on which I''ve spent many hours, and I can''t get a clue on what is happening... I hope someone here will be able to help me. Here is the situation : my Rails app uses acts_as_commentable and acts_as_bookmarkable on a Diagram model. Everything''s working OK individually: I can create a comment on a Diagram, bookmark it, and so on. Now,

I''m working on user authentication system to get familiar with rails, and have basically solved most of my apps problems till now. I keep getting the NoMethodError, and can''t understand why. Model: customer.rb class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base ... def self.password=(pass) @password=pass salt = Customer.random_string(10) if !salt? self.hashed_password =

In ActiveRecord''s callbacks, methods within a before_create callback are called after the validation, but before the model is created. This was an intentional design decision, but I think it was the wrong one. What do you think? When I think of before_create, I think of before_validation :foo, :on => :create, but, by default, before_create is synonymous with after_validation :foo,

Hello everyone, I''m having trouble figuring out which approach is better. I have the following tables: products, orders and line_items. Every time an Order is placed, the quantity field in the products table has to be updated for each LineItem in the Order. One option is to use DB triggers which is not as portable as using before_create in the Order model. But with before_create I cannot

Hi, I am having trouble using before_create when I have an specialized setter method: before_save :set_campaign_start #----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- def set_campaign_start self.campaign_start = Time.now end # We want the date to always start at midnight
