Hi, I''m using acts_as_taggable. I have a form that asks for a question and a tag for that question, something like: <% form_tag -%> <%= text_area("question", "question_text") %> <%= text_field("tag", "name") %> <%= submit_tag %> <% end_form_tag %> The question is one model. Tag is another. My problem is that I

Hi all, I recently started back up with Rails and things are going well up until now. I''ve set up acts_as_commentable in my Post model and it''s working great. Problem is users are able to create a "blank" comment. I''ve added the following validations in the comment.rb file generated by acts_as_commentable to limit the comment length: [code]

Can anyone provide me an example of how they are displaying validation errors when saving a tag using Demetrius''s (not DHH''s) act_as_taggable plugin? For example, the tag model has a :validates_length_of :name, :in => 1..30, :too_long => "Tag name too long - max 30 characters", :too_short => "Tag must have a name" If a user inputs a tag longer than

So I''m trying to be a good agile programmer and write unit tests for my objects, but I''ve got a test I just can''t keep from failing. I have a profile object that I just added username and hashed_password to. I used the method in the Rails book to handle hashing the password. My code is strait out of the book. The whole object is at the end of this email. I want

In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

I have an error I don''t know how to debug. I am adding the login suport in Depot (the example in the RoR book) and LoginController#add_user throws ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in an innocent /login/add_user GET request. The trace goes down to a call to SQLiteAdapter#table_structure, and the source code suggests what''s happening is that "PRAGMA

I''m using validates_format_of and the validation I want to do works, but I can''t get an error message to be displayed if the data is invalid: validates_format_of :mobile, :with => /\A[\+0-9]+\Z/, :message => " - Wrong" I have another validation some where else that does display the error message: " - Name is too long" validates_length_of :name,

I''ve got a really strange problem using belongs_to. I apologize in advance for the length... this is going to take a while to explain. Basic idea: Creating a User requires that the user enter an email address and activation key that matches an existing PendingUser. After creating the user successfully, that pending user should be marked as "used". The problem: When I

I am trying to create unit tests for my users model but when I add a test that destroys a user, that user is not available in any of the other test. If I remove the test that destroys the user all my other tests work again. All the fixtures are suppose be reloaded between tests right? Here is my testcase : require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class UserTest

In my unit tests for my User model, I''m testing some validation cases. What is really strange, and driving me crazy, is that in the unit tests, it seems like the save method is causing my validations to execute twice, and produce duplicate error messages. This is making my tests fail (because I''m checking for the number of errors that I expect). In the web browser, only one error

I''m having a problem with my User model. Originally I had alot of validation, including this: validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :password validates_length_of :password, :within => 4..50 validates_confirmation_of :password However, this made it impossible to edit a user without setting his password, which I don''t want. So I tried to isolate the above validations

Working through the beginning phase from the Agile book on ''Administration'' undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0xb7911324> ... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in `method_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/user.rb:12:in `before_create''

I am trying to make a barebones login system based on this example (which in turn is just standard RoR login) but when I enter a user name and password, it says the login is unsuccessful every time. I am not sure where I am going wrong. Here is all relevent information CREATE TABLE `users` ( `id` int(6) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `login` varchar(20) NOT NULL default

Hi, I''m having a problem trying to get a login controller working. When I try and post to my login controller I get the following error: ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken in LoginController#login login_controller: class LoginController < ApplicationController def login case request.method when :post if @session[''user''] =

Is there any way to change the output of rake spec fails? The errors are just totally over the top ugly and not helpful. First of all the ruby -Ilib line always comes before each test and I find it distracting. But if an error occurs on something that is not nil it just gives me the entire contents of that object and that is no small matter when the object is a HTTP request response. Here is

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

I am trying to use an expanded version of the User Login from the Agile Web Development with Rails book. It takes the user name and password but then says "Invalid user/password combination". Looking at the log everything seems to be fine until it sends the query to MySQL. The query shows that the name is '''' instead of the name that was passed to the self.login

Hi list, first evening of playing with rails, so please forgive me if I ask something stupid. ;-) I created a User model and tried to use ActiveRecord callbacks to convert the password to sha1 just before saving it. For some reason postgresql gives me a error because the given password is null. To test even further I tried to change :login too, same error happens, :login is empty too. I am sure

I have an address model and am doing some validations. One of them seems to ignore :allow_nil => true. If I leave the phone input blank, I get it back with a "too short" error. Here''s the relevant parts of the model: 1. class Address < ActiveRecord::Base 2. 3. validates_length_of :phone, :in => 7..10, :allow_nil => true 4. 5. before_validation

Hi, I''m trying to implement password confirmation, based on the Agile example, but just can''t make any progress. User DB has these fields: ========================= t.column :name, :string, :limit => 40 t.column :hashed_password, :string t.column :salt, :string User model has: =============== attr_accessor :password_confirmation
