Hello,  
I’m having trouble getting login\_engine to work properly. I get the  
standard login/registration views, but whenever I try to register I get:

NoMethodError in User#signup  
undefined method `password\_confirmation=’ for #User:0x408b2f9c

I have login\_engine, and engines installed from cvs:  
[http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_engines/plugins/](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/plugins/)

anyone else had anything similar or know what I might be doing wrong?

Hi,

Do you already have a app/models/user.rb in your main app?  
If you do then the engine’s user model will not get initiated, and it is  
the one with the password\_confirmation method in it.

Cheers,

I just got the login\_engine working. I tried the salted login engine  
plugin before using login\_engine and had to clean out my project  
directories before the login\_engine could function properly.

You should do as Eric suggests and take a look at files in your project.  
If you clean everything out and try re-installing the login\_engine it  
should deploy property.

sorry,  
I just saw the post from 4 days ago, which fixed it for me.  
I keep doing that - I’ll pay more attention in future.
