Let me make it clear what exactly I have tried. The original article contains following code,
def password=(pass) > @password=pass > self.salt = User.random_string(10) if !self.salt? > self.hashed_password = User.encrypt(@password, self.salt) > end > > > Since I have password as the field in database to save my password, I changed hashed_password to password > def password=(pass) > @password1=pass > self.salt = SecureRandom.hex(10) if !self.salt? > self.password = User.encrypt(@password1, self.salt) > end > This gave me the error, SystemStackError (stack level too deep): > > app/models/user.rb:26:in `password=' > > app/models/user.rb:27:in `password=' > > app/controllers/user_controlle > r.rb:31:in `new' > > app/controllers/user_controller.rb:31:in `createuser' > > > So I updated the method as follows, def passwordtext=(pass) > @password1=pass > self.salt = SecureRandom.hex(10) if !self.salt? > self.password = User.encrypt(@password1, self.salt) > end > And added a attr_accessor named as passwordtext. Also I renamed the password_field_tag in the view as "passwordtext". Doing this didn't help at all as the passwordtext method didn't execute. So, the problem how should I rename my variables to make it work. Regards Sumit Srivastava The power of imagination makes us infinite...
