Hi, I installed the restful\_authentication plugin using the aasm  
option instead of stateful and I can’t seem to get it working. I keep  
getting stating

Event ‘register’ cannot transition from ‘pending’

it appears to be from a lack of code in my user model that I believe  
installing restful\_authentication with stateful does for you. Does  
anyone have some notes they can share on how they configured this? I  
haven’t been able to find anything current on google.
