Problem with restful_authentication

Rails
1

Hi

I am trying to implement restful_authentication plugin in my rails
application. But my user model contains extra fields like country_id,
state_id, city_id, phone_number, status_id, gender etc. Is it possible
to add additional fields along with restful_authentication plugin? I was
not able to store the additional fields. pls help. very urgent. This is
my first project in ROR
Thanks in advance.

The best option would be to create a user_profile and have the user
has_one :profile, :class_name => ‘user_profile’.

If you have to have it in the user class you have to add them here:

attr_accessible :login, :email, :password, :password_confirmation,
:security_question, :extra_fields

Thats what I’m guessing but I guess it depends on the error…

Did you add the extra fields using migration?

You’ll need to make a migration to add the extra columns to your users
table. restful_authentication generates a user model/views/controller.
So you can edit those to accept your extra fields.

Thanks for the reply.
Created the migration and added extra fields. The error coming at the
time of saving the data to the user model. ie I am not getting the
values in the insert query (got the insert statement from the log
file).I am getting “null” for the extra fields in the insert query

Are you sure you’re passing the extra fields to the model?

Have you tried opening a console and manually creating a user model?
That would tell you if the problem’s in your model or in your
controller/view

Hmm, well it should work then :slight_smile: It might be useful for you to post some
code.

What is the error that you get? Does it say you are not allowed to
mass assign this (country_id) variable?

Have a look in your user model where you have the attr_accessible you
are going to have to add :country_id there.
