[...] For the Authlogic part, i’ll just refer to others tutorials since there are very good ones out there ! First the basic installation : GitHub Authlogic, you can see how easy it is to set up a complete authentication system with this amazing gem. I then added the reset password functionality : Reset passwords with Autlogic. And then I wanted to activate accounts by an email : Account Activation with Authlogic. [...]

Thanks – very helpful article. If following this precisely, I think there’s a step or two needed for app/views/users . The form partial requests the password, but that’s not what the description of the process says. So we probably need to copy and trim the form (because views/users/edit.html.erb probably still needs to allow password updates, unless we have an openid record, while the new.html.erb needs to request only the email address?)

Thanks for your tutorial!

I try to write a controller spec for create. I wonder how signup! can be mocked/stubbed? Something like
User.stub!(:signup!).and_return(“true”)
doesn’t work.

Had the same issue as Jonathan, so I checked Authlogic docs, here’s my activate! and singup! methods

	def signup!(params)
		self.login = params[:user][:login]
		self.email = params[:user][:email]
		self.password = params[:user][:password]
		save_without_session_maintenance
	end
 
	def activate!
		self.active = true
		UserSession.create!(self)
	end

How would one go about auto logging the user after account activation (without setting the password on activation)?

Authlogic’s code is a bit too complicated for me to understand just yet, and I can’t really figure it out.

I had to add a simple migration to avoid ‘crypted_password’ and ‘password_salt’ cannot be null on saving the unactivated model.

[...] you’ve followed my version of the authlogic account activation tutorial or the original version by Matt Hooks you might have run into this error: Missing host to link to! [...]

Getting this error:

“Missing host to link to! Please provide :host parameter or set default_url_options[:host]“

Seems to be something wrong with the register_url command in the activation_instructions method in the model. Have you seen this before or know what this is?

In this case notifier.rb is a mailer. So your notifier.rb file will look something like this

class Notifier < ActionMailer::Base
def activation_instructions(user)
  subject â��Activation Instructionsâ��
  from â��Binary Logic Notifier â��
  recipients user.email
  sent_on Time.now
  body :account_activation_url => register_url(user.perishable_token)
end

def activation_confirmation(user)
  subject â��Activation Completeâ��
  from â��Binary Logic Notifier â��
  recipients user.email
  sent_on Time.now
  body :root_url => root_url
end

end
