similar to: Agile book - getting confusing error

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

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

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

how can i access to a collection that was created in the same control and the data that a want to access isn?t the id the collection has : id, usuario, comandancia comandancia is the data to access the question is how to access comandancia in @acceso this code is wrong : def new @catelemento = Catelemento.new @acceso= Catacceso.find(:all, :conditions

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

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

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:

Happy New Year everyone. Just wondering if anyone has coded the ability to allow a user to change their password following the way the book (second edition) implements administration. Seems like I should be able to cut out the password/password_confirmation portion of ''add_user'' form to create a ''change_pass'' form. The problem is I''m not sure how to go

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

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

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''m trying to follow along with the Agile Development with Ruby on Rails book and have encountered a problem with code having the following syntax (partial class provided): require "digest/sha1" class User < ActiveRecord::Base private def self.hash_password(password) Digest:SHA1.hexdigest(password) end end I''m getting an error as: undefined method

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

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

i think self.method just like class method,so if i want to define it as a private method,i should use private_class_method :my_method but i found follow code in < <Agile Web Development with Rails>> private def self.hash_password(password) Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password) end just a mistake or there have some thing which i cannot get?

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

Hi. I get a RecordNotSaved exception when trying to create a user record. The error: User Columns (0.005930) SHOW FIELDS FROM users SQL (0.000465) BEGIN SQL (0.000466) COMMIT ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved (ActiveRecord::RecordNotSaved): ... As you can see, there''s no INSERT SQL generated, which is the root cause of the problem. In my user model, I have the following

I''m going though the paper back edition of agile development with Rails. On page #128 I encountered following lines of code: attr_accessor :password attr_accessible :name,:password What''s the difference between attr_accessor and attr_accessible? -=- Neeraj _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list
