Hey there…new to the group but looks like there’s some great
discussion
going on throughout!
I’m working on a sign up form right now that takes just an email and zip
code. It appears that the email and zip code make it as far as the
SELECT
statements when attempting to save the new user, but when it tries to
save
said values to their respective columns in the DB the log shows
VALUES(null,
null). My code looks like this:
profile controller:
def rSignIn
@retailUser = RetailUser.new(params[:user])
if request.post?
if @retailUser.save
session[:user] = RetailUser.authenticate(@retailUser.email, @
retailUser.location)
flash[:message] = “Signup successful”
redirect_to :controller => “browse”, :action => “retailHome”
else
flash[:warning] = “Signup failed”
end
end
end
retail user model:
validates_length_of :email, :within => 6…65
validates_length_of :location, :is => 5
validates_presence_of :email, :location
validates_uniqueness_of :email
validates_format_of :email, :with =>
/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i, :message => “Invalid email”
attr_protected :id
attr_accessor :email, :location
def self.authenticate(email, location)
u = find(:first, :conditions => [“user[email]=?”,email])
return nil if u.nil?
return u
nil
end
sign in view:
<% form_for :user, @retailUser, :html => {:id => “retailSignInForm”},
:url
=> { :controller => “profile”, :action => “rSignIn”} do |f| %>
Email: <%=
f.text_field:email, :id => “retailSignInText”, :class=> “text” %>
Zip code: <%=
f.text_field:location, :id => “retailSignInZip”, :class=> “text” %>
<%= button_to “Sign In”, :controller => “profile”, :action
=>
“rSignIn” %>
<% end %>
Any clue as to what I’m doing wrong?
