I am building an ecommerce solution using spree to handle products/orders etc.
I am having a little trouble figuring how to create spree entries through my signup controller. The user fills a form out and then it is supposed to:
1) create a new user object with addresses
2) create a new order for that user + add a subscription product to that order
3) Create a stripe customer and add a stripe plan
4) Redirect to a confirmation page.
I can't seem to find much in the way of documentation for integrating with spree from a custom rails setup (only overriding their templates).
The issue I am having is that I am not seeing the new user object being created. I pulled this code from the backend and modified it to create a new user when the signup form is submitted:
user_params = {"email" => emailAddress,"password"=> password}
spreeUser = Spree.user_class.new(user_params)
spreeUser.save
This isn't adding any new user to the DB. I have also tried through the api endpoint POST api/users but still no luck.
Is it possible to use spree in this way and if so what am I doing wrong!
Spree does not have a user class built in. You need to either (1) use the Spree Auth Devise gem, (2) use another gem like regular Devise to create a user class or (3) create your own. If you do (2) or (3), you then set up Spree to recognize that user class.
This Spree documentation walks you through how to do just that.

Let's say I have Blog app built with Rails and on a post created by a user(Author) I have a "Request a chat" button.
I want to build a small function on that post page that when User A presses that button, the page will redirect to or open a chatbox that connect User A with user Author?
Author is a devise registered user and User A is not.
How would I build something like that? Thanks
I think it's weird having a devise registered user and a non devise user unless you mean User A is just an unregistered guest. Either way, it's not a big deal and it can be done.
The way you would put together that system is as follows:
OpenChat # your new data model
OpenChatsController # your new controller
"Request a chat" would create a new OpenChat object, with author and guest A foreign keys. If User A is a guest, you can store a cookie "password" in their browser but generally it's only advisable if the conversation is brief and security isn't a big deal.
Then you would be able to check if there is an open chat between the two users and display it in any page you want, and display messages appropriately.
You will need to look up how to setup a basic chat system (there are a million answers out there that will take you step by step) as that's beyond the scope of this question.
If you are new to Rails, I also recommend Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails tutorial:

I am new to Ruby on Rails development. Currently, I am creating a web app where users can log in, create, and manipulate their own "campaigns" (database objects) that are then displayed on a dashboard. I am using the devise gem, but at best it filters the database objects without actually using any permissions. I need to make sure that the database objects that appear on the dashboard are specific to only the current user that is logged in. What would be a good solution for displaying the campaigns of only the logged in user on the dashboard, and making sure that the user can't access/see anyone else's objects on the dashboard.
It sound like you need a before_filter on your controller. I don't use devise, but just google "devise before action" and you will find many links like this one that might be helpful. On another note, here is an excellent tutorial that shows how to create your own authentication system. I recommend doing it twice. The rails guides are also great.
Update:
Try this in your contoller
def index
#user = User.find(params[:id])
#campaigns = #user.campaigns.all
end

I want a rails application it contain login form, registration form, order page and admin form,user order a product it update on admin page.
example: user have 3 products 1.laptop 2. phone 3.speakers, if user ordered phone, it must display on admin page like x user order phone.
please help me, I am beginner, please help me
Below is just a small brief .I can't write complete code over here.
You can use Devise gem for login & registration.
For adding roles to the particular user , use cancan gem.
Then , create scaffold for Product.
Create the view for corresponding pages.
Insert the products.
Create Order model & controller , create association with product & so on...
I'm stuck figuring out the best practice...
I want to create a "following" system in a way that a user can follow a car (getting email updates when car price changes, etc). The part of implementation that's giving me headaches is when I want to introduce lazy registration by only using email.
Everything needs to work as AJAX requests.
In the interface, there will be a button to trigger the follow action, which will check if the user is registered or not. If a user is logged in, create a new CarSubscription item, otherwise display a form where he could type his email address. Once submitted, the form should create a user with no password (if email exists, ask for the password and log in) and then it should create the relationship item.
The challenge here is to use redirection after submission of the form to the CREATE action of the CarSubscriptionController. Since I can't redirect using POST I can't simulate the CREATE or DESTROY action.
The non-RESTful solution would be to create 2 actions under cars_controller: follow and unfollow and let them do the logic of creating entries and deleting them. That would enable me to just store the request path and use it after the user enters their email and logs in.
How can I achieve what I want using RESTful resources?
After trying to describe my problem here, it seems it's way too complicated and I am indeed very stuck... There are 3 different controllers and possibly 4 requests in this scenario.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Please see my flow chart below:
Not an expert here, I don't know if it's the best solution, but what I have done in similar situation is :
In your controller, respond with javascript instead of redirecting the user
In your javascript file, use $.post(...) to issue a POST to your controller action
Et voilà!
You can also use ActiveResource to achieve this, but I actually never tried that solution : http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveResource/Base.html#label-Custom+REST+methods
Person.new(:name => 'Ryan').post(:register)
Hope this helps
I had a very similar need and had trouble pulling the various bits of info on how to do this with Devise and Rails together into a working example. Here's a fully working example based on Rails 4, Ruby 2, and Devise 3.0:

I'm working on this alerting service in Rails. And really, all I need to do is, when a user signs up, send a confirmation email to the user. And upon confirmation from the user, activate the user. I tried playing around with Matt Hooks' Authlogic email activation tutorial, but its really leading nowhere. So , any ideas how I can do this with minimum fuss ?
Thanks !
UPDATE
So how i got devise to do the job for me is :
Install the gem.
Create a migration for devise's confirmable fields.
Specify
devise :confirmable
in your model.
Create a confirm method in the relevant controller(and a route for that method) which would update the confirmed_at attribute of the relevant model.
The devise generator creates a few views for you, one which is confirmation_instructions.html.erb. Customize the path there.
I used Rails 2.3.2 and I 've used this method along with Authlogic's authentication and it worked well. I do plan to switch to devise completely.
In all honesty, I wanted to accept both answers (unfortunately I can't do that), but its just that the devise solution seemed a easier solution.
Assuming given the title that you definitely want to avoid Devise, Authlogic and friends, here's what I think you need to do:
Create 'confirmation code' and 'confirmed' attributes in your user model.
Create a new controller method on your user controller that expects a user id and confirmation code, looks up the user and then checks if the code in the parameter matches the code stored in the DB. If so, it clears the code and sets confirmed = true.
Create a route that maps e.g. /users/1/confirm/code to your new controller method.
Create an ActionMailer template for the e-mail you want to send. This should accept a user as a parameter, and use the confirmation code of the user to send a mail containing a link to your new route.
Create an observer for your user model. If the record is created or the e-mail address modified, then generate a random confirmation code, set it into the model and clear the confirmed flag. Then trigger your ActionMailer.
Create a helper method which allows views to check if the current user is confirmed.
Use this method to enable/disable functionality as appropriate. Remember to protect your controller methods as appropriate as well as your view logic.
You could also make use of scopes for selecting users.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
scope :certified, where(:certified => true)
end
And then in your code:
#user = User.certified.find_by_username(foo)
Devise is an other excellent authentication gem that comes with email activation build in, perhaps you could give it a go.
