I'm trying to save users the trouble of creating a username, so I am generating it based on their email address. It doesn't need to be unique, it is used in the view only, but that's not my question.My question is how do I store it when the user fills out the form? Obviously, this won't work, bc the user's email isn't saved yet...any help you can provide? The line in ******* is the problem. Thank you. - form_for resource_name, resource, :url => registration_path(resource_name) do |f| = f.error_messages = f.label :email = f.text_field :email = f.label :password = f.password_field :password = f.label :password_confirmation = f.password_field :password_confirmation ************* = f.hidden_field_tag(:username, @user.email.split('@',2).first) *********************** = f.submit "Sign Up"
Why do you need to put it into the form? Seems like this would be a good spot for a before_save handler in your user model. Check to see if the :username field is blank and if so, set it to the first bit of the email address...
