Hi there,
I'm a newbie (since 4 weeks) working with hobo.
I have a combined the hobo user model with ancestry gem so users can
build trees of users. Will be a nice feature when everything works
fine :-)
model:
fields do
email_address :email_address, :unique, :login => true
administrator :boolean, :default => false
ancestry :string, :index => true, :validate => false
title :string
firstname :string
lastname :string
....
end
I have simple lifecycle-create-steps
create :signup, :available_to => "Guest",
:params => [:email_address],
:become => :active
# Here a user can create a user
create :fillin, :available_to => "acting_user if
acting_user.signed_up?",
:params =>
[:title, :lastname, :firstname, :email_address],
:become => :inactive
and several transitions (all working fine) e.g.
transition :choosecompany, { :active => :activeplus }, :available_to
=> "acting_user if acting_user.signed_up?",
:params => [:usercompany]
------------------
in the controller simple do_lifecycle methods
# Here is the problem !!!!!
def do_signup
do_creator_action :signup, :redirect => '/'
if thisuser=User.find_by_email_address(@this.email_address)
@this=thisuser
end
flash[:notice] = "Success!"
end
def do_fillin
do_creator_action :fillin
@user.parent = current_user
@user.save
flash[:notice] = "User saved!"
end
--------------------
My problem is a find-or-create problem.
If an other user has already created this user (with fillin) and this
new user is trying to signup (with signup) I want to find him and make
him fill missing parts. If his email is not in db I want to create
new.
I need a way to get the email-address in a form and then to decide
wether to start the lifecycle create or a transition OR to break the
lifecycle create, because of validations and not to save the user with
same email again.
I found in all documentation/usergroups/ebooks nearly everything to
solve my existing problems except this here.
Thanks to all. I still work on to find a solution on myself.
