If i understood correctly, you want the role to be added to the user
upon creation, but its not.
here is the code that would do it
def create
logout_keeping_session!
params[:user][:login] = params[:user][:first_name] + params[:user]
[:last_name]
# Create a random password.
params[:user][:password] = User.generate_pass 8
@user = User.new(params[:user], :roles => [ Role.new(params
[:role]) ] # in an array
# success = @user && @user.save # user will always have
something, therefore this line is redundant
if @user.save
redirect_back_or_default('/')
flash[:notice] = "Thanks for signing up!"
else
flash[:error] = "Too bad sucka!"
render :action => 'new'
end
end
hope it helps
