Thanks ahead of time for everyone who will help out with this. I have a profile page for a blog engine I'm writing (because everyone much write a blog engine at some point to learn stuff) and I want to allow members the ability to update their passwords. What I'm having a problem with right now is using the edit page for their profile to update their email and name (which is already populated from the database), which works, but also use it to update the password (which does not ... because it updates the password to blank every time).
The situation is this: I am both salting and hashing the password, and using the attr_accessor to grab the password they input on the registration page. However, now when they update their profile, the blank password field generates a new hash and salt and leaves the password blank. Not ideal. I'm wondering how I might be able to selectively update the password if a new password is supplied ... but leave it alone if a password is not supplied. Any help is greatly appreciated! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
