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,

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.

If there is an error with the submitted password on a form, then both the password and password confirmation text fields should be highlighted in red. The default seems to be to highlight only the password field. Any suggestions on how to correct that?

Hi, I have a form for creating users ... <% form_tag ''userconfirm'' do -%> <!-- more code --> <p><label for="user_login">Username</label><br/> <%= text_field ''user'', ''login'' %></p> <p><label for="user_password">Password</label><br/> <%=

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

Does anyone know of a way to update individual attributes with validation? update_attribute disables the validation checks in the record model, so I''m wondering if there''s a workaround for this. In my application, I want to allow the user to update some or all the attributes without having to enter :password and :password_confirmation, both of which are subject to

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

Hi, I''m trying to implement password confirmation, based on the Agile example, but just can''t make any progress.

Hello to everyone, Well, very frustrated with this one because I am following the example straight from the documentation and it is not working. First when I try: validates_confirmation_of :password, :on => :password_update (password_update is a def in my User model which works fine without this validation in please) I get the following error: TypeError in UsersController#update_password

Newb here. I have a form and a value that is being displayed ... and I have no idea where the value came from. I have done a <%= debugger; '''' %> in the form and, indeed, the debugger stops at the statement. I have tried to trace through the code to see where the value came from ... and I gave up.
