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

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

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 am trying to create unit tests for my users model but when I add a test that destroys a user, that user is not available in any of the other test. If I remove the test that destroys the user all my other tests work again. All the fixtures are suppose be reloaded between tests right? Here is my testcase : require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper'' class UserTest

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 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

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

Hi everyone, I have this code in Person.rb: def hashed_password(password) require ''digest/sha1'' require ''base64'' new_password = Digest::SHA1.new new_password << password new_password = "{SHA}" << Base64.b64encode(new_password.digest).chop end And here''s my test: def

I have a form to register a user. The issue I am having is the fact that it only populates login, hashed_password and created_at fields. DB table: create table users ( id int not null auto_increment, login varchar(100) default null, hashed_password char(40) default null, email varchar(255) default null, salt varchar(255) default

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

Hi! I have just added login feature to my rails application (followed the instruction from (Agile Web Development with Rails) but now I am getting strange errors (looks to me like some kind of routing problem) under the passenger/apache. The error is: 500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. From the log:

I bought the Agile book to learn Rails, and everything was going smooth until Iteration F1: Adding Users. I''ve double checked my code, used the code provided by the book, and still it returns this same error message: **** NoMethodError in LoginController#add_user undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0x473f0d8> RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/.. Application

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

From dovecot, you can add any additional attributes you like using the auth_policy_request_attributes configuration setting, e.g. By default in 2.3.1 this looks like: login=%{requested_username} pwhash=%{hashed_password} remote=%{rip} device_id=%{client_id} protocol=%s But you can add additional parameters: login=%{requested_username} pwhash=%{hashed_password} remote=%{rip}
