Dear all,
Iam in process of creation an admin panel, i have used
def sign_in
if request.get?
flash.now[ :notice ] = 'Please enter your username and password'
elsif request.post? and params[ :admin ]
session[ :admin_id ] = nil
@admin = Admin.authenticate(params[:admin][:email], params[:admin][:password])
if @admin
session[ :admin_id ] = @admin.id session[ :admin ] = @admin.name
redirect_to :action => "list"
else
flash.now[ :error ] = 'The username or password entered is incorrect'
end
end
end
def add
if request.post? and params[ :admin ]
@admin = Admin.new( params[ :admin ])
@admin.name = params[ :admin ][ :name ]
@admin.email = params[ :admin ][ :email ]
admin_password = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("--#{Time.now.to_s}--#{@admin.name}--")[0,6]
@admin.password = Base64.encode64(admin_password)
if @admin.save
@admin = Admin.find(@admin.id)
#calls the sent_order method Adminpassword.deliver_sent(@admin)
# if so... redirect_to :action => 'list'
end
else
# render an empty admin instance @admin = Admin.new
end
end
my add and sign in functions are working well, and while iam using change password method i was not able to perform the operation.
Could any one suggest on using change password option for my above controller, i have tried the method with following code,
def change_password
if request.get?
# if so ... @admin = Admin.new
# was this action invoked by a post request? elsif request.post?
admin = session[ :admin]
admin.update_attributes(:password => params[:new_password])
#@admin.password = params[ :old_password ]
#@admin.update_attributes( :new_password )
if admin.save
flash[:notice] = 'Password changed successfully' redirect_to :controller => 'admin', :action => 'list'
end
else
flash.now[:notice] = 'Please enter the required parameters'
end
end
Thanks in advance
Regards, Jose martin
