Hi all, Short of hacking the code apart, is there a method making the login_engine authenticate against email address rather than username? I find that people rarely remember usernames, and would prefer to use email addresses as the identifier. Thanks! Tom

Hello, I''m trying to build an app (mysuperapp.com) that allows users to create an account in which a default subdomain (IE: joeshmoe.mysuperapp.com) will be created as their homepage. In their profile settings, I also want to give them the ability to add their own domain name so their homepage now can be joeshmoe.com. I know this is possible in rails w/ plugins like subdomainfu

Hi folks, I have a question regarding validates_uniqueness_of, and similar before-filter-like events attempting to guarantee some DB state prior to modification. >From my reading of ActiveRecord, validate_uniqueness_of appears to cause a SELECT on the underlying table attempting to ensure that a record with ID(s) specified in the validates_uniqueness_of statement is not already present, prior

I tend to allow nulls in cases where the value is unknown, even if it''s a text/varchar field. RoR seems to push empty strings into these fields. Is there any way to get RoR to use NULL vice '''' if the input box is empty? Thanks! - Ian

Hi all I want users to register on my page. To register, they only have to deliver an email and a password. Then a link with an activation token will be sent to them, and after clicking the link the user sees a page where he should fill in further details, means: a username.

So, I took a step back and put in the following code: class

I have a loans table and a payments table. Each loan has_many payments. So far no problem. Now, the payments table has a payment_number field, and each payment has a payment_number unique within that loan. For example, Loan A can have payment_numbers 0, 1, and 2 and Loan B can have payment_numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 (but only one of each payment_number). I can enforce this with a unique index in

I have two database fields, and then I have a method which shows the difference. It''s simply def ev_diff ev_push - ev_fold end The value of ev_push is 0.26, value of ev_fold is 0.05, so the diff is obviously 0.01. I have an assertion written as: assert_equal 0.01, stats.ev_diff Which fails..but I have no clue why. The failure message follow: 1) Failure:

Hi, There is something I don''t understand about :dependent => :destroy. I hope someone can help me.

Hi all ! InPlaceEditor refreshes only the element that was updated. Is there any way to make it update tons of other stuff ?

I need to modify the validates_uniqueness_of function so that it will check that the string is unique but only in its own category. For example right now I have validates_uniqueness_of :title so let''s say I have the :title "Title 1" already in the database with the :category of "1" then if i wanted to enter the :title "Title 1" in the database again BUT
