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

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

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

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 have a user model and a status model. Each user has a specific status (accepted, rejected, declined, etc). I have a form that allows the adminstrator to change certain options for a user, including their status. I''m using a drop down menu populated with the different status values, and a default option that says "Choose a new status" with a value of "". I want to

I have a site with an acts_as_authenticated based login which has started throwing up some strange errors. Until a few days ago everything worked fine but all of a sudden ''RecordNotSaved'' errors are popping up in my logs. When I check the database, it looks like the record _is_ saved but I think users get an error so I''m starting to see a lot of double/triple entries

I just upgraded Ruby to 1.8.4 and Rails to 1.1 and I''m in the middle of changing my Javascript code over to the Scriptaculous helper functions. page.visual_effect :highlight, "some_div" seems to be broken. Instead of fading, the background color of the element stays highlighted. page.visual_effect works for other effects, though. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Posted via

I was just faced with a strange ROLLBACK exception when attempting to execute this code: $ rails console user = User.first User Load (1.1ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" ORDER BY "users"."id" ASC LIMIT 1 => #<User id: 1, name: "Michael Hartl", email: "foo-+RB1Aph5k6s@public.gmane.org", created_at: "2013-05-12

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

Is there a way to set the class of a link in link_to_remote? I tried adding :class => "this_damn_class" after the :url hash and it didn''t work. I went ahead and did it manually using remote_function, i.e. <a class="this_damn_class" href="#" onclick="<%= remote_function ..., :url => {...} %>">My Link</a> -- Posted via

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?

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 need to have this for :create and :login how do I do so validates_presence_of :login, :password, :password_confirmation, :user_name, :email, :on => :create I do need it to be off in a number of places though -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 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''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

I''m new to RoR and have started building my first application. I''m building an account sign-up controller and I have two questions: 1. What is the best way to pass form params between methods in my sign-up controller? The solution I''m using seems too hacky and there''s got to be a something more elegant. I''m instantiating User.new to capture the

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

Is there an addition to the Rails Recipe or the method in AWDWR to allow a user to change his/ her password? I have put something together that does all the work again - mostly because I''m not sure how to leverage on methods like ''password='' that are defined in the model. Has anyone got a ready sample that I could learn from? Right now, I''m basically

Just in case it saves someone else the several hours of insanity I just went through, update_attributes will not save unless the model validations are satisfied, but update_attribute (the singular form) will save the attribute to the database even if the model validations would fail! This appears to be a feature, not a bug (http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html) although
