Comments on: My Take on Enhancing restful_authentication Part 1 http://morebs.com/2008/02/20/my-take-on-restful_authentication/ don't get your fingers caught Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:23:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Travis http://morebs.com/2008/02/20/my-take-on-restful_authentication/#comment-36 Travis Mon, 22 Sep 2008 03:35:14 +0000 http://morebs.com/2008/02/20/my-take-on-restful_authentication/#comment-36 I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. It's helped me ramp up a projects authentication scheme from stock to full featured in just a few hours. Rolling all this from scratch would be a huge pain, and I have to say that you've done the rails community a service here. Thanks again! Travis I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial.

I just added update_attribute(:activation_code, nil) inside that method. Would it be better to change these assignments to the self.attribute = value form and then call save at the end or just use those update_attribute methods?

A non nil activation_code indicates the user is not activated and may cause problems elsewhere. one minor note: you should add

I noticed:

def forgot_password
@forget_pw = true
self.make_activation_code
self.save
end

def forgot_pw?
@forgot_pw
end

@forgEt_pw vs @forgOt_pw. could it be a simple typo?

I was having issues with the app sending emails at the wrong time so I removed some of those lines and forgot to add the code. A problem I ran into with the instance variables was setting them to true, after the model was saved. Because of that, the observer would always see false values and never send emails or react the correct way. So if you know your mail settings are correct, check where you are setting those variables to true. I am in the process of rewriting this code and will include a complete sample app to download too. Should be ready in a day or so. You’re right Eric, I did forget that part.

UserMailer.deliver_reset_password(user) if user.reset_pw? I never get the emails for forgotton/changed pw's. Perhaps this has something to do with the boolean instance variable trouble you were having?
