similar to: Using "validates" in Model Question on Control Flow

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

I''m trying to specify a model in a controller, but rails gives me "Account is not a class", where Account is my model name ... This is my model: class Account < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :email, :email_confirmation, :username, :password, :password_confirmation validates_format_of :email, :with =>

I have some code in my controller which looks like this: if request.post? and @account.save and @user.save ... end and in my Account and User models I have many :validates, like so account.rb validates_presence_of :subdomain, :on => :create validates_uniqueness_of :subdomain, :on => :create, :message => "is already being used" validates_exclusion_of

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 have the following code and I am not able to get it working. The error message is not coming on the top, it is just getting displayed on a different page if I dont have the rescue block commented at the bottom. Model: user.rb require "digest/sha1" class User < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :eaddress, :fname, :passwd, :pcode, :country, :day, :year, :month, :gender,

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''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

I''m building a login system, and I want users to be able to update their password, first name and last name after signing up. So, when signing up password can''t be nil, and it must be between 6..20 characters long. However, on update, the user can choose to leave the password field empty (but fill in other stuff, like first name) and then I want the User model to not update

I just can''t get validates_confirmation_of working for the life of me!... It''s not the first time I''m having problems with it but I just never understand why!... This time I pretty much followed *exactly* the example in Agile Rails Development and still...it just won''t work! I put 2 different passwords in the form and it doesn''t trigger an error,

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

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''] =

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''ve got a user object which has quite a few attributes mapped to the database. As of right now I''ve got some validations in the model like: validates_presence_of :password, :message => "You must specify a valid password." validates_confirmation_of :password, :message => "Password doesn''t match the confirmation." validates_presence_of

Hi, I have performed the cookbook tutorial. Before tailoring the views and controllers, when I put in the model recipe.rb: validates_uniqueness_of :title validates_length_of :title, :within => 1...20 And I tried to introduce some new recipe without the above conditions I got the message: --------------------------------------------------- New recipe 1 error prohibited this category from

I am unsure how to use a confirmation only field in my forms. The perfect example is when registering a user, you want them to type their password twice but you only want to have one record for it. The form fields; user[password] user[password_confirmation] form posted; user = User.new @params[:user] Error is thrown because there is no method for password_confirmation. -- Posted via

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

Hello, I''m having a weird problem in my user model. For the change_password method I have the following: def change_password(oldpass, newpass, confirmation) oldpass = self.class.myhash(oldpass) reload passhash = self.password self.password = newpass self.password_confirmation = confirmation if valid? and oldpass == passhash save! else # valid?

Besides the hashed password, which is saved to db, I have two password-attributes in my User model: attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation I have validations on these attributes, and I need them to work both on create and update, since I have pages for changing and resetting the password. Now when I want to update just the user''s login name, I guess I have the next

is there any special requirement for validates_confirmation_of ? I am trying to make sure 2 passwords are equal (cleanly the rails way).. In my view i have two fields with id user[password] and user[password_confirmation]. in the model i have validates_confirmation_of :password, :message =>"Passwords do not match " Am i missing something here ? thanks adam
