Hi,
Pretty much have the [Authlogic example - http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example ] type rails app setup. I'm getting the following error when I click on the registered link. From a generic point of view I can't quite see how the view "form.label :confirm_password" is support to run without raising an issue, noting that this field does not exist in the User table in the database?
Q1 - How is AuthLogic supposed to stop this form "confirm_password" not to be passed right back to the mode?
Q2 - Any ideas what is going wrong in my case below and how to address it? How does generally Rails handle ignoring a "confirm_password" type field in a form when processing, in the way that it (a) is required at the controller stage but (b) not required at the backend active_record stage.
ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `confirm_password' for #<User:0x2703fbc>) on line #8 of app/views/users/_form.erb: 5: <%= form.password_field :password %><br /> 6: <br /> 7: <%= form.label :confirm_password%><br /> 8: <%= form.password_field :confirm_password %><br /> 9: <br />
