Hi,

I successfully installed AAA couple days before, and i managed to register a uer with it, with no user activation.

but for some strange reason, it stops working for the signup method, with i go to the signup page, press submit, it shows an error page, what's wrong? here's the error page.

undefined method `activation_code' for #<User:0x3b6dbd @errors=#<ActiveRecord::Errors:0x1a1a1c6 @errors={}, @base=#<User: 0x3b6dbd ...>>, @attributes={"salt"=>"d580c223adee13c8723434e3987a0787ad124e5b", "updated_at"=>Wed Jul 18 02:47:19 BST 2007, "remember_token_expires_at"=>nil, "crypted_password"=>"78dfec22ed3e7418647c7e90e22d0e4e93c5f375", "id"=>6, "remember_token"=>nil, "email"=>"erv2@blah.com", "login"=>"erv2", "created_at"=>Wed Jul 18 02:47:19 BST 2007}, @new_record=false, @password="000000", @password_confirmation="000000">:User

Looks like you didn't run the required migration - or backed it out.

AAA requires a few fields - the error above means it's looking for one that isn't there.

Hi Jodi,

Thanks for the reply. I thought of that as well, but when i look at the Database Migrations->migrate->006_create_users.rb, that field isn't there.

did i skip some steps when i installed it? but it worked for me before.

here is the file:

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     create_table "users", :force => true do |t|       t.column :login, :string       t.column :email, :string       t.column :crypted_password, :string, :limit => 40       t.column :salt, :string, :limit => 40       t.column :created_at, :datetime       t.column :updated_at, :datetime       t.column :remember_token, :string       t.column :remember_token_expires_at, :datetime     end   end

  def self.down     drop_table "users"   end end

I am not sure why this happens, I had the same problem.

Simple fix is to make a new migration:

call it add_activation_code and put the following in it.

class AddActivationCode < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     add_column :users, :activation_code, :string   end

  def self.down     remove_column :users, :activation_code   end end

Then migrate and you should be OK

Regards
