Hello,
I am working through the railsspace tutorrial, and i've noticed that
the password validation is no longer working.
I can get screen_name and email to validate, but for some reason, the
password field is ignored...
here's what i have so far:
within user.rb file
PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH = 4
PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH = 40
validates_length_of :password, :within => PASSWORD_RANGE
def validate
errors.add(:email, "must be valid.") unless email.include?("@")
if screen_name.include?(" ")
errors.add(:screen_name, "cannot include spaces.")
if password.include?(" ")
errors.add(:password, "Must be filled in")
end
end
In my user controller, i have a digest to mask the password in the
database at registration:
def register
@title = "Register"
if request.post? and params[:user]
@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.password = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest
(@user.password)
if @user.save
session[:user_id] = @user.id
flash[:notice] = "User '#[email protected]_name}' created!"
redirect_to :action => "index", :controller => "user"
else @user.password = nil
end
end
end
If I remove the Digest line, the password validation works again, but
this means any password is then visible. I moved the digest line so it
appeared AFTER the user.save.
This solved the validation issue, but displayed the password in the
database,
How do i get round this??
many thanks
