Hi,

I have developed a mini Rails app using Rails 2.0.2, RESTful  
authentication  
and Acts as State Machine. It has the following features:

1. Login
2. Logout
3. User Activation
4. Forgot Password
5. Reset Password

You can check out the code from:

svn checkout  
_http_://simply-rich-authenticator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/simply-rich-authenticator-read-only

Happy New Year!

Nice!

I think you need a space in that command:

svn checkout [http://simply-rich-authenticator.googlecode.com/svn/](http://simply-rich-authenticator.googlecode.com/svn/)  
trunk/ simply-rich-authenticator-read-only

I did something pretty much exactly like this just before 2.0 was  
released, except with role\_requirement and some timezone stuff. I also  
needed to add some scope functionality that was pretty specific to the  
applications I write.

It was not as straight forward as I’d hoped. I stopped doing much with  
it, mostly because I took the opportunity to upgrade one of my  
applications from 1.0.x to 2.0.x (two years later), but also because I  
was getting a bit concerned about maintaining such a thing.

It seems to me that the modifications I had to do were not specific to  
a single plugin but were changing/depending on multiple plugins – the  
plugins don’t seem particularly modular… and non-modular things  
don’t upgrade nicely.

What do you, and everyone else, find with RoR and plugins. Is there  
something I’m missing (please say I’m missing something) or is there  
really a modularity problem?

Cheers,  
Bob

I think there is a bug in your password reset code.

undefined method `password\_reset\_code=’

You are calling a variable I believe.
