Ok ... here's the code --------------------------------------------- \zauth\app\views\users\new.html.erb <fieldset> <legend>Signup for eMeantime Membership</legend> <%= error_messages_for :user %> <% form_for :user, :url => users_path do |f| -%> <p><label for="login">Login:</label><br/> <%= f.text_field :login %> <br/> <cite>Ex., aedenfield</cite> <p><label for="email">Email:</label><br/> <%= debugger; '' -%> <%= f.text_field :email %><br/> <cite>Ex., [email protected]. A valid email is required for an active account.</cite> <p><label for="password">Password:</label><br/> <%= f.password_field :password %><br/> <cite> Enter the password that is between 4 and 40 characters in length.</cite> <p><label for="password_confirmation">Confirm Password:</label><br/> <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %><br/> <cite>Enter the same password as above.</cite> <p><%= submit_tag 'Sign up' %></p> <% end -%> </fieldset> ------------------------------------------------------------ \zauth\app\controllers\users_controller.rb class UsersController < ApplicationController # Protect these actions behind an admin login # before_filter :admin_required, :only => [:suspend, :unsuspend, :destroy, :purge] before_filter :find_user, :only => [:suspend, :unsuspend, :destroy, :purge] # render new.rhtml def new end def create puts at_file_line_msg(__FILE__, __LINE__) cookies.delete :auth_token # protects against session fixation attacks, wreaks havoc with # request forgery protection. # uncomment at your own risk # reset_session @user = User.new(params[:user]) raise ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid.new(@user) unless @user.valid? @user.register! flash[:notice] = "Thanks for signing up!" rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid render :action => 'new' end def activate self.current_user = params[:activation_code].blank? ? :false : User.find_by_activation_code(params[:activation_code]) if logged_in? && !current_user.active? current_user.activate! flash[:notice] = "Signup complete!" end redirect_back_or_default('/') end def suspend @user.suspend! redirect_to users_path end def unsuspend @user.unsuspend! redirect_to users_path end def destroy @user.delete! redirect_to users_path end def purge @user.destroy redirect_to users_path end def change_password return unless request.post? if User.authenticate(current_user.login, params[:old_password]) if ((params[:password] == params[:password_confirmation]) && !params[:password_confirmation].blank?) current_user.password_confirmation = params[:password_confirmation] current_user.password = params[:password] if current_user.save flash[:notice] = "Password successfully updated" redirect_to profile_url(current_user.login) else flash[:alert] = "Password not changed" end else flash[:alert] = "New Password mismatch" @old_password = params[:old_password] end else flash[:alert] = "Old password incorrect" end end #gain email address def forgot_password return unless request.post? if @user = User.find_by_email(params[:user][:email]) @user.forgot_password @user.save redirect_back_or_default('/') flash[:notice] = "A password reset link has been sent to your email address" else flash[:alert] = "Could not find a user with that email address" end end #reset password def reset_password @user = User.find_by_password_reset_code(params[:id]) return if @user unless params[:user] if ((params[:user][:password] && params[:user][:password_confirmation]) && !params[:user][:password_confirmation].blank?) self.current_user = @user #for the next two lines to work current_user.password_confirmation = params[:user][:password_confirmation] current_user.password = params[:user][:password] @user.reset_password flash[:notice] = current_user.save ?

I provided everything. The fields that seem to be inappropriately initialized are the fields associated with :email (definitely) and :password (maybe). The :password field has big dots in it ... and it _may_ be initialized ... I can't tell. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
