similar to: Bind variables error

I''m getting this error message since i moved alot of the database logic to the model. wrong number of bind variables (0 for 2) in: first_name = ? AND last_name = ? def self.authenticate(first_name, last_name, password) user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''first_name = ? AND last_name = ?'']) if user.blank? Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password +

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

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

perhaps someone can take a little time to give me a better understanding of how to use form helpers. Here is what I''m working with in my app: user model - (the table where a user registers their information) it contains the following fields - first_name last_name email account_type (currently set to string but will probably be a select box with options) password_salt (I''m

Im still following the authorization recipe from the book, now all works fine but im getting trouble in how handle the model authorization result, if the user and pass are correct, it goes to a welcome screen(admin.rhtml) but if wrong the model prints a message in an ugly exception like page "usr and pass not correct", i want to redirect the user to the login

I created a simple registration form. One column doesn''t seem to be taking the input. I''ve yet to put in any validation or error checking. The column in the database is called ''level'' and is type ''int'' The controller method is fairly simple: def register c = User.new(params[:user]) c.save redirect_to :controller =>

I have most of my books open as I''m trying to create this app. Still not sure how to make this work - hopefully some help / hints can get me further. First I used the "authorizing users" recipe from Rails Recipes. Though I did add some more generic type of registration fields (email, address, etc). I want the registration form on the main page(index) of the site. What I have

I''ve been struggling a bit trying to figure out the best way to design/implement a system with authentication/authorization, and was hoping some of you may be able to offer some advice.. At the moment, I have a system with 4 different types of users - clients, administrators, sales_reps, and public_users. I''m using "Authorizing Users with Roles" from the Rails Recipes

Hello all, Thank you in advance for your help with this. I am trying to implement the user authentication method from Ruby Recipes which calls for the use of SHA 2. Here is the code for the password: def password=(pass) salt = [Array.new(6){rand(256).chr}.join].pack("m").chomp self.password_salt, self.password_hash = salt, Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(pass + salt) end I open

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

using the Rails Recipes book, i went through the tutorial on setting up authentication on a site. the tutorial was great, but it raises a few questions. the fields in the database are password_hash, and password_salt. the tutorial creates another method for password that takes the value it was given and hashes it and adds the 6 character salt at the end. what if i want to perform validation

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. Ideally, any access to http://example.com/publish (and any of its subdirectories) should redirect to http:/example.com/publish/login when there is no valid session user_id. Code so far:

I have a number of models that use an aggregation to combine First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name and they have been working fine. I am looking to clean this up, DRY it if possible. I have things like this in application.rb class Clwholename attr_reader :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name def initialize(first_name, middle_initial, last_name) @first_name = first_name

I''m running script/console but keep getting the message that irb.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. If it means anything I am running instant rails. I can invoke irb straight forward. TIA Stuart -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I am trying to use Ferret for searching for users based on first and last name. In my index, I am adding the first_name, last_name, and a full_name which is basically "#{first_name} #{last_name}". I am searching the index using something like the following query: INDEX.search_each(%Q/first_name:#{query}* OR last_name:#{query}* OR full_name:#{query}*/) do |doc, score| The problem I am

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

I''m trying to implement a basic name search on a People table with separate first_name and last_name columns. I am using the will_paginate plugin and have the following search method in the model: def self.search(search, page) paginate :page => page, :conditions => ["lower(last_name) like ? or lower(first_name) like ?",

Hi! I faced some issue while using it for dynamic attrs indexing/search. Maybe I made something wrong. Here is test method. Everything works just fine until last line http://pastie.caboo.se/66274 . Tested on both stable and trunk of aaf and ferret 0.11.4. the short version of code below: Contact.acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :first_name ] assert

I have a Person model with attributes first_name and last_name. I want to implement autocomplete search that looks that the entire name. Hence I have a method: def full_name self.first_name + " " + self.last_name end Is it possible for me to query on full_name and have rails match the first_name and last_name fields? I currently receive this error when I try, because full_name
