Dear all, I am using restful authentication plug-in for user registration & authentication. What I want to do is, when user submit registration form, a link containing activation code 'll be generated & is to be sent to user via mail. User need to click the link sent to his mail Id to activate his account. Thanking you. ---

Not sure which plug-in you’re using, but this does what you’ve described: [http://github.com/matthooks/authlogic-activation-tutorial](http://github.com/matthooks/authlogic-activation-tutorial) (See Also: [GitHub - binarylogic/authlogic\_example: An example rails app using the Authlogic authentication library](http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example)) ---

It’s a piece of crap. You should be switching to Authlogic anyway. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---

oops, sorry, I guess I skipped your first sentence! I’ve never used restful-authentication plug-in, but it sounds like it already has support for what you’re asking for: [http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/blob/master/README.textile](http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/blob/master/README.textile) I do recommend authlogic after having used it myself. ---
