I have a user Model with a class method that I am using to do some authentication basically something like this class User < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :password attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name, :email, :birth_date, :sex, :password, :password_confirmation email_regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i validates :first_name,

In my User form I have standard field to get user record attributes (first_name, last_name and email) I also have a select drop_down to choose a role from an array first_name, last_name and email are user record attributes, but I defined the role name as a virtual attribute validates_presence_of :email, :last_name attr_accessor :role_name validates_presence_of :role_name, :if =>

Hi, I have a User model with a HABTM relation to a Role model and vice versa. So There''s a roles_users table that references :user and :role. I''m using formtastic, and in the user.edit.html.erb I have a line that outputs the roles as a multi-select list box. But the box is not showing the roles that have been assigned to the users. Another problem is that if I select a few

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

With the help of several heroes here yesterday I beat my way into a working solution to adding comments to one or more models in my application using acts_as_comentable. Great plugin, but my implementation is lame. I need enlightenment. I have users who log in. For several views I want to let them add comments. Enter act_as_commentable which does just this -- it''s polymorphic, so you

I can''t figure out why I am getting a failure. It renders out fine in the browser. <h1>New member</h1> <%= error_messages_for :member %> <% form_for(:member, :url => members_path) do |f| %> <fieldset> <legend>Member Info</legend> <p><label for="member[first_name]">First Name:</label> <%=

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''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

When submitting billing information in the past I''ve always used attr_accessor for credit card details as they should not be saved in the database. In addition I always end up storing the card expiration date so that the date form helper works correctly. With Active Model it seems logical to create a CreditCard class to hold this data instead. **1st issue.** It seems there still

The users will enter students names on forms. How do I intercept the first and last names and have them stored capitalized when the user inputs them in lower case? Do I mess with the form html, skipping form_for helpers and using conditional clauses in the view? Do I need to separate out the individual attribute and update it separately in the controller actions that save/updates the

how can i give name attributes for form_for(), so it will give an output like <form name="f">. it is because that i need to access the form name for javascript manipulation. as far as i know, name can only used in form_tag(), but i currently have more than 50 forms that built using form_for(). the structure is like this: <% form_for symbol, item, :url => { :action

I have the following models: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :billing_address belongs_to :shipping_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :billing_address accepts_nested_attributes_for :shipping_address, :reject_if => proc { |attributes| attributes[''has_shipping_address''] != ''1'' } def after_initialize self.build_billing_address

Hello, I''m currently stunk on this issue for few days and I do not know how to get it fixed. The system always raises this error message : order is closed and here is my order.rb: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base include ActiveMerchant::Billing before_validation :set_status attr_protected :id, :customer_ip, :status, :error_message, :updated_at, :created_at attr_accessor

Hi, I have some problems with an application where I''m using custom accessors to do currency conversions. In my model, I have a price attribute in the database that stores the value in cents, to avoid future problems with float arithmetic and round. But at the views, I would like to show the price in euros, with decimal for the cents. So I defined a new attribute called price_in_euros,

I would like to use form_for in my project so that I can easily change the style of many forms at once. However, it seems to me like FormBuilders only support certain kinds of form elements(!). Surely there must be a way to add arbitrary labels/form elements to a form. Let''s say I had a form that looks like: ID: (plain-text label) Name: (text field) Birthdate: (date chooser) Picture:

I can''t imagine what I''m trying to do is complicated at all in Rails. Yet, I am now getting this error: undefined method `state'' for :StudentFailState:Symbol. student.rb has_one :student_fail attr_accessor :student_fail_attribute #controller def student_fail @student = @student.find params[:id] def update_student_fail @student.build_student_fail

I have a signup form that needs to do these three things: 1) create a new "Group" 2) create a new "User" 3) Add that User to the Group I have the scaffolding for the create new user form: <% form_for :user do |form| %> <p> <label for="user_name">First Name:</label> <%= form.text_field

Hi, I just ran into this ActionController::RoutingError and just wanted to check if someone can confirm this as a bug in the Rails 3 beta gem. config/routes.rb contains: get ''login'' => ''session#new'' post ''login'' => ''session#create'', :as => :login GET /login works fine: Started GET
