Hi Guys,
In my devise applications in Rails 3, I created a separate form under my
SettingsController class of which it handles the ‘Change Password’ of
the User Model, so i can manipulate the current_user in the
SettingsController.
Now, I followed the set-up in the Devise/Views on how to update the form
using ‘Change password’ and either way update User for current_password
change but I’ve no luck on the implementation. I need you experties
My question is, how to check the my :current_password to the
params[:user][:current_password] I tried to submit in the form. Meaning
how can the devise check the submitted params[:user][:current_password]
to match and validate on the current_user.pasword
This is my code, i’m using HAML
I’m also using config.encryptor = :restful_authentication_sha1
since I migrated from auth_logic to devise authentication tool
“Views/Settings/change_password.haml” goes like this
%aside#sidebar
%nav.leftbar
%ul
%li.pwd= link_to “Password”, change_password_path
%section#content.w.r
= form_for(@user, :as => :user, :url => change_password_path(:user))
do |f|
%h1 Change your password
%fieldset
%div
= f.hidden_field :reset_password_token
%div
= f.label :current_password
= f.password_field :current_password, :autofocus => true
%div
= f.label :password
= f.password_field :password
%div
= f.label :password_confirmation
= f.password_field :password_confirmation
.action
= f.submit "Change password"
or
= link_to "Cancel", settings_path
“SettingsController” goes like this below using change_password method
def change_password
if params[:user]
begin
current_user.update_attributes!(:password =>
params[:user][:password])
flash[:notice] = “Password successfully changed”
redirect_to settings_path
rescue Exception => msg
flash[:notice] = msg
end
else
@user = current_user
end
end
