What is that login doing in the line above I wonder? I am not quite sure what the [0..7] is for either. > user = User.create(:email => self.email, :password => > randompassword, :location => self.location) > if user.id > self.user_id = user.id > else > flash[:warning] = "Could not create user account" > end > end > end > end > > This works well for email addresses that have a user entry.
