similar to: before_save model callback rspec testing

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 =>

I have a user model and a status model. Each user has a specific status (accepted, rejected, declined, etc). I have a form that allows the adminstrator to change certain options for a user, including their status. I''m using a drop down menu populated with the different status values, and a default option that says "Choose a new status" with a value of "". I want to

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 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

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 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 recently ran a migration to add the following to an existing user model: t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" There is an existing (cleartext) password field, but authlogic doesn''t seem to be reading that on existing accounts. As a result, all logins for existing accounts fail. How can I get

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 =

The code that comes with the plugin uses a method that looks like this: def password_required? crypted_password.blank? or not password.blank? end with validations that look like this: validates_presence_of :password, :if => :password_required? validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if => :password_required? validates_length_of

I have a site with an acts_as_authenticated based login which has started throwing up some strange errors. Until a few days ago everything worked fine but all of a sudden ''RecordNotSaved'' errors are popping up in my logs. When I check the database, it looks like the record _is_ saved but I think users get an error so I''m starting to see a lot of double/triple entries

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

Hi, I have a csv file which have the user detail. I want to migrate this information into the "users" table.

I am using authlogic for authentication in rails 3.0.3 with ruby 1.9.2 Using activerecord-sqlserver-adapter (3.0.5) windows with sqlserver database when i create user details in rails console, i am getting below error, >User.create(:login=>''test'',:password=>''test123'',:password_confirmation=>''test123'')

Hello, I need to have this for :create and :login how do I do so validates_presence_of :login, :password, :password_confirmation, :user_name, :email, :on => :create I do need it to be off in a number of places though -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 am following the excellent tutorial http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14216 (post 5) on how to implement an access control feature i.e. only a friend is allowed to view a profile of a particular member. I am not using the restful authentication plugin as the author is using to implement the authentication feature (post 1) in the tutorial. All I am interested in is the post 5

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
