I suspect this may have to do with field-list not being able to figure out what type 'email' is supposed to be. Try adding: attr_accessor :email, :type => :string *before* the attr_encrypted call. The net result will be attr_encrypted overwriting the accessor methods from attr_accessor, but the field type will now be declared. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
