First, A Happy New Year to you all Second : this is my login action form the admin controller: def login if request.post? user = User.authenticate(params[:name], params[:password]) if user if user.banned_status == "true" flash.now[:notice] = "We are sorry.You can not log in beause you have been banned.Contact the admin at r...@gmail.com to solve this problem"
elsif user.blocked_status == "true" flash.now[:notice] = "We are sorry.You are still blocked.Contact the admin at r...@gmail.com to solve this problem" else session[:user_id] = user.id redirect_to :action => "index" end else flash.now[:notice] = "Invalid user/password combination # {user.id}" end# 2nd if end# 1st if end#login ================ this is my user model for the authenticate method : def self.authenticate(name, password) user = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["name = :param",{:param => name}]) if user.size > 0 user.each do |correct_user| expected_password = User.encrypted_password(password, correct_user.salt) if correct_user.hashed_password == expected_password idx = user.index(correct_user) return user[idx] end end#do user = nil else user = nil end#1st if end#def ====== and the login view : <div class="shope_form"> <% form_tag do %> <fieldset> <div> <label for="name">Name:</label> <%= text_field_tag :name, params[:name] %> </div> <div> <label for="password">Password:</label> <%= password_field_tag :password, params[:password] %> </div> <div> <%= submit_tag "Login", :name => nil %> <div> </fieldset> <% end %> </div> So the thing is that in my db i have two users with the same name, but no twith the same password. id = 2 name = radu surname = puspana hashed_password = 6b2711b337ae9b5c8a5932e60955f25dc42bcec1 id = 4 name = radu surname = gica hashed_password = caf5488d972483c5b064a1afbe30b4370391ab73 The problem is that when i try to login with the first name, radu and the password admin, it works fine, but if i try to login in with the second name(id =4) radu andthe pass gica1, it return the nil value back to the controller, so user in the controller will be nil, showing the message "Invalid username/password" although the name and pass are correct... what the heck??? a billion thx in advance, radu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
