The *self.hashedpass* action is still not in use. That is not of concern right now. I need to encrypt the password chosen by user and save it. In this tutorial, it sets an *attr_accessor "password"* which executes the instance method *"password=(pass)". *The tutorial actually uses *hashes_password *as the attribute in table where the encrypted password is actually stored after encryption.
During customizations I have used *password *as the column where encrypted password shall be saved. So I created my own attr_accessor, i.e., * passwordtext*. I have named the *password_field_tag* in my form as * passwordtext*. But when I do so, it is not executed. Instead if I rename the password_field_tag and the attr_accessor as* password *only, it is executed but the stackerror comes in. Regards Sumit Srivastava The power of imagination makes us infinite...
