After installing the update below, several of my other friends started complaining because they had been invited with [email protected] so when they tried to login and their email was downcased, their login failed :-[ .

I hacked this one by using a before_save to downcase the email_address in the User model.

Everyone can login successfully now, but it would be much easier if a case-insensitive compare were implemented in hobo.

I'm glad this happened in a hobby website and I didn't get angry emails from upset clients. ;-)

Hi All!

One of my model-railroading friends uncovered a minor bug when trying to log in to the club website. He usually enters his email as [email protected] but was invited as [email protected]. Even though email addresses are supposed to be case insensitive, his login failed. I replicated it with my email address, too.

There is a very simple work-around, but I would recommend that a more permanent correction be made in the hobo internals. The work-around goes into the hobo_user_controller:

def login

    params[:login].downcase!  unless params[:login].nil?

    hobo_login

end
