Studying the RoR 3 Tutorial book by Michael Hartl and on page 345 there''s the code inside the SessionsHelper: _________________________________________________________ module SessionsHelper def sign_in(user) cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_token] = [user.id, user.sault] self.current_user = user end end __________________________________________________________ What is the purpose

Hi everyone, I''m working through the tutorial at the following link and attempting to customise/adapt the lessons for my own slightly different application. Link: Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example | Ruby on Rails 3 Tutorial book and screencasts | by Michael Hartl <http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book> I''m currently trying to work

Hello, My name is Javier Molina and I am programming a simple app to manage users in Ruby on Rails. I read RoR Tutorial from http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/sign-in-sign-out#top to sign in and sign out my app. I implemented the same configuration as it said: *sessions_helper.rb* def sign_out self.current_user = nil cookies.delete(:remember_token) end

Hi everyone, I need several pages to be static but also modify when requested. I try following the railcast from Ryan at http://railscasts.com/episodes/117-semi-static-pages?view=comments Here what I have done!! rails g scaffold Pages name:string permanentlink:string title:string author:string access_level:string is_published:boolean meta_description:string meta_keyword:string

Hello Finished reading chapter 9 and im a little bit confused. 1. In the tutorial, Modules are used instead of creating a Model and working in a class inside a module , like in authenticating passwords. Wouldn''t that be possible? Or is it unnecessary since we''re not messing with a database in terms of storing data? 2. what is the difference between session[:remember_token] =

Hi, I just installed Rails 2.0.2 [root@mymachine easyx]# ruby --version ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] [root@mymachine easyrx]# gem install rails --include-dependencies Need to update 16 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org ................ complete Successfully installed rails-2.0.2 [root@remandev easyrx]# But I''m getting this error in my restful_authentication

I''m using Restful Authentication, and the code to create a user is pretty straight forward - there is a before_save action and a before_create action: before_save :encrypt_password before_create :make_activation_code But for some reason when I try to create a user programmatically in the controller like this: User.new(:email =>

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).

I have a Cappuccino app that I am integrating with a Rails backend. A key feature of the app is authentication which is managed entirely by rails. The way I set it up is that the cappuccino js conditionally executes if the user is logged in, like this: <% if signed_in? %> <div id="cappuccino-body"> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello

So how do you work with cookies properly in rspec now? I noticed in the docs that it mentions session, assigns, and flash, but nothing of cookie. I''m using edge rails so I''m concerned about changes to the cookie mechanisms. I need to assign values into the cookie (a remember token for restful authentication) so that I can have it log in by cookie. here is my spec

Hi there I''m having trouble getting the ''remember me'' functionality going in acts_as_authenticated. The issue seems to be that the login_from_cookie method is using only the first 60 characters of the remember_token string in the database, whereas the string in the db is 75 characters long. I can see in my dev log that login_from_cookie is trying to find the user but

I am getting 193 failures that all have "Mysql::Error: Incorrect datetime value:" how do i fix this??? i am new to rspec and restful_auth, so if i am doing something wrong, let me know!!! windows xp rails 2.1.1 rails testproject cd testproject # create my databases and edit database.yml git init git submodule add git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git vendor/plugins/ rspec git

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

hi all, i''m learning rspec and i can''t figure out how to test if a callback is executed in a model. my model code is: class User < ActiveRecord::Base before_save :encrypt_password ... def encrypt(password) self.class.encrypt(password, salt) end thanks a lot, cs. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 keep getting this exception "SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: books.user_id: SELECT "books".* FROM "books" WHERE ("books".user_id = 4)" ,which sounds like there is no user_id in books table.So i just installed foreigner plugin and added " t.integer :user_id, :null => false" and "add_foreign_key(:books, :users)" in book

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 User has_one Shop. Rails is not validating when I tried create_shop or build_shop, neither in the browser nor the rails console. My code: class Shop < ActiveRecord::Base attr_protected :user_id belongs_to :user validates_presence_of :name, :primary_address, :city, :country_code, :currency end class ShopsController < ApplicationController before_filter
