Help. Acts_as_Authenticated plugin stops working for me?

Rails

Hi,

I successfully installed AAA couple days before, and i managed to
register a uer with it, with no user activation.

but for some strange reason, it stops working for the signup method,
with i go to the signup page, press submit, it shows an error page,
what’s wrong? here’s the error page.

undefined method `activation_code’ for #<User:0x3b6dbd

Looks like you didn’t run the required migration - or backed it out.

AAA requires a few fields - the error above means it’s looking for
one that isn’t there.

Hi Jodi,

Thanks for the reply. I thought of that as well, but when i look at
the Database Migrations->migrate->006_create_users.rb, that field
isn’t there.

did i skip some steps when i installed it? but it worked for me
before.

here is the file:

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table “users”, :force => true do |t|
t.column :login, :string
t.column :email, :string
t.column :crypted_password, :string, :limit => 40
t.column :salt, :string, :limit => 40
t.column :created_at, :datetime
t.column :updated_at, :datetime
t.column :remember_token, :string
t.column :remember_token_expires_at, :datetime
end
end

def self.down
drop_table “users”
end
end

I am not sure why this happens, I had the same problem.

Simple fix is to make a new migration:

call it add_activation_code and put the following in it.

class AddActivationCode < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
add_column :users, :activation_code, :string
end

def self.down
remove_column :users, :activation_code
end
end

Then migrate and you should be OK

Regards
