How to authenticate the primary key? - ruby-on-rails

i can't authenticate the Transaction_Id where this is the primary key of my transaction table, while i can do it with the email. what would seem to be the problem? help. thanks.
here's my model/transaction:
def self.authenticate(email, transaction_id)
user = Transaction.find_by_email(email)
if user && user.Transaction_Id
return user
else
return false
end
end
here's my controller/modifications:
def attempt_login
user = Transaction.authenticate(params[:email], params[:Transaction_Id])
if user
session[:user_id] = user.id
session[:email] = user.email
flash[:notice] = "You are now logged in!"
redirect_to :action => "modify"
else
flash[:notice] = "Invalid username/password combination."
redirect_to :action => "login"
end
end
and here's my view/login:
<div class="login">
<%= form_tag :action => "attempt_login" do %>
<%= label_tag :email, "Email Address:" %>
<%= text_field_tag :email %>
<%= label_tag :Transaction_Id, "Transaction Id:" %>
<%= text_field_tag :Transaction_Id %>
<%= submit_tag "Log In"%>
<% end %>
</div>

You check only if there is a transaction_id present in your found user object, but you do not compare this id to the given id, so try:
def self.authenticate(email, transaction_id)
user = Transaction.find_by_email(email)
if user && user.Transaction_Id == transaction_id
return user
else
return false
end
end
or (don't know if it works)
def self.authenticate(email, transaction_id)
user = Transaction.find_by_email_and_transaction_id(email, transaction_id)
if user
return user
else
return false
end
end
in short:
# will return user if found; else nil
def self.authenticate(email, transaction_id)
Transaction.find_by_email_and_transaction_id(email, transaction_id)
end

Adding Authorization Role to User

I want to be able as an Admin to add Authorization Role to other users..when I click the Add Role button it says that it added the role to that user..but when I check in the Rails Console the role of that user is still nil.
def index
#user = User.new
#users = User.all
end
def update
#users = User.all
#user = User.find_by_username(params[:user][:username])
if #user && params[:user][:role] == "editor"
#user.role = "editor"
#user.save
flash.notice = "Added role 'editor' to #{#user.username}."
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
elsif #user && params[:user][:role] == "admin"
#user.role = "editor"
#user.save
flash.notice = "Added role 'editor' to #{#user.username}."
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
elsif #user && params[:user][:role] != "editor"
flash.notice = "Please chose 'editor' if you want to add this role to this user."
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
else
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
flash.notice = "Please choose one of the users below."
end
end
View
<%= form_for #user ,:url => {:controller => "admin_settings", :action => "update"}, method: :patch do |user| %>
<%= user.text_field :username, :placeholder => "Username" %><br />
<%= user.text_field :role, :placeholder => "Role" %><br />
<%= user.submit "Add Role" %>
<% end %>
<% #users.each do |user| %>
<strong><%= user.username %></strong><br />
<% end %>
Routes
get '/adminsettings', to: 'admin_settings#index'
patch '/adminsettings', to: 'admin_settings#update'
Try changing your use of calling params to this...
def update
#users = User.all
#user = User.find_by_username(params[:username])
if #user && params[:role] == "editor"
#user.role = "editor"
#user.save
flash.notice = "Added role 'editor' to #{#user.username}."
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
elsif #user && params[:role] == "admin"
#user.role = "editor"
#user.save
flash.notice = "Added role 'editor' to #{#user.username}."
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
elsif #user && params[:role] != "editor"
flash.notice = "Please chose 'editor' if you want to add this role to this user."
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
else
redirect_to "/adminsettings"
flash.notice = "Please choose one of the users below."

How to Cancel Paypal Subscription?

I finally figured out how to implement PayPal Recurring Billing using this tutorial. http://railscasts.com/episodes/289-paypal-recurring-billing
Everything works, But how does one cancel the subscription....
Below is all of the code I've written, and I've also added some comments/questions

ROUTES
App::Application.routes.draw do

To destroy a users paypal subscription you should create a destroy action in your subscription model.
Subscription_controller.rb
def destroy
#subscription = current_user.subscription
#previous_plan = #subscription.plan
if #subscription.cancel_recurring
flash[:success] = 'Subscription Canceled.'
end
redirect_to some_path
end
In your model get the current user and cancel their subscription. If the user is subscribed monthly but canceled within 2days out of the 30 days, their account subscription should be valid until the at_end_date period(just a heads up).
def cancel_recurring
response = ppr.cancel_subscription(at_date_end: true) #Needs a end period field in
self.current_date_end_at = Time.at(response.current_date_end)
self.plan_id = plan.id
self.status = "canceled"
return self.save
end
Routes.rb
resources :subscriptions do
collection do
delete :cancel_account
end
end
In your view you would iterate through the plans like so
<% #plans.each do |plan| %>
<%= link_to "Cancel Account", cancel_account_subscriptions_path(#subscription, plan_id: plan.id), method: :delete %>
<% end %>

how to setup previous/next message for inbox messaging

I have created a inbox messaging system and it works perfect. However I don't know how to implement a previous and next feature for the messages (so users can go to the next or previous message while viewing one). These are normal functions for viewing messages on the internet. Previous should mean previous by message creation time. Any help would be appreciated.
messages_controller:
before_filter :set_user
def index
if params[:mailbox] == "sent"
#messages = #user.sent_messages
elsif params[:mailbox] == "inbox"
#messages = #user.received_messages
#elsif params[:mailbox] == "archieved"
# #messages = #user.archived_messages
end
if params[:mailbox] == "unread"
#messages = #user.unread_messages
end
end
def new
#message = Message.new
if params[:reply_to]
#reply_to = User.find_by_user_id(params[:reply_to])
unless #reply_to.nil?
#message.recipient_id = #reply_to.user_id
end
end
end
def create
#message = Message.new(params[:message])
#message.sender_id = #user.id
if #message.save
flash[:notice] = "Message has been sent"
redirect_to user_messages_path(current_user, :mailbox=>:inbox)
else
render :action => :new
end
end
def show
#message = Message.find(params[:id])
#message.readingmessage if #message.recipient == current_user
end
def destroy
#message = Message.find(params[:id])
#message.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Successfully deleted message."
redirect_to user_messages_path(#user, #messages)
end
def delete_multiple
if params[:delete]
params[:delete].each { |id|
#message = Message.find(id)
#message.mark_message_deleted(#message.id,#user.id) unless #message.nil?
}
flash[:notice] = "Messages deleted"
end
redirect_to user_messages_path(#user, #messages)
end
private
def set_user
#user = current_user
end
end
message model:
attr_accessible :subject, :body, :sender_id, :recipient_id, :read_at,:sender_deleted,:recipient_deleted
validates_presence_of :subject, :message => "Please enter message title"
belongs_to :sender,
:class_name => 'User',
:foreign_key => 'sender_id'
belongs_to :recipient,
:class_name => 'User',
:foreign_key => 'recipient_id'
# marks a message as deleted by either the sender or the recipient, which ever the user that was passed is.
# When both sender and recipient marks it deleted, it is destroyed.
def mark_message_deleted(id,user_id)
self.sender_deleted = true if self.sender_id == user_id
self.recipient_deleted = true if self.recipient_id == user_id
(self.sender_deleted && self.recipient_deleted) ? self.destroy : self.save!
end
# Read message and if it is read by recipient then mark it is read
def readingmessage
self.read_at ||= Time.now

end
# Based on if a message has been read by it's recipient returns true or false.
def read?
self.read_at.nil? ? false : true
end
def self.received_by(user)
where(:recipient_id => user.id)
end
def self.not_recipient_deleted
where("recipient_deleted = ?", false)
end
def self.sent_by(user)
Message.where(:sender_id => user.id)
end
end
show.html (message view):
<strong>From:</strong>
<%= #message.sender %>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Received:</strong>
<%= #message.created_at.to_s(:long) %>
</p>
<p>
<strong>To:</strong>
<%= #message.recipient %>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Message</strong><br />
<%=h #message.body %>
</p>
<p>
<% if #message.recipient == #user %>
<%= link_to "Reply", new_user_message_path(#user, :reply_to => #message.sender) %>
|
<% end %>
<%= link_to "Inbox", user_messages_path(current_user, :mailbox=>:inbox)%>
|
<%= link_to "Delete", [current_user, #message], :confirm => 'Are you sure you want to delete this message?', :method => :delete %>
</p>
In the Message model:
def previous(same_recipient = true)
collection = Message.where('id <> ? AND updated_at > ?', self.id, self.updated_at).order('updated_at ASC')
collection.where(recipient_id: self.recipient_id) if same_recipient
collection.first
end
def next(same_recipient = true)
collection = Message.where('id <> ? AND updated_at < ?', self.id, self.updated_at).order('updated_at DESC')
collection.where(recipient_id: self.recipient_id) if same_recipient
collection.first
end
This is what we use in our Calendar system, very usefull to go Previous / Next with the Apppointments.
This rely on the updated_at column, which is kind of bad (if I update an old message it will confuse the next/previous). Maybe you want to use the created_at column, or your own. With this you could do in your view:
# [...]
<p>
<strong>Message</strong><br />
<%=h #message.body %>
</p>
<p>
<%= link_to 'Next', user_message_path(current_user, #message.next) %>
<%= link_to 'Previous', user_message_path(current_user, #message.previous) %>
</p>
In your controller for the viewing of the message, get 3 messages from the DB, and display the middle entry as the current message. Set the ID's to the previous and next message as variables.
Then in your view make two buttons: previous and next where their link urls are the path to the IDs you saved.

Create method not submitting POST request

I have a controller in a rails app whereby a user can create a holiday request, it seems that when I fill out the necessary information it is not doing the POST request and submitting my form. My output in the RailsPanel follows: Rails Panel. From this its as if it is doing the GET request when surely on it should do a GET then a POST. I believe I have messed up somewhere around my create method. Any feedback would be great thank you!

The reason is, you are having a form in your holidays/show.html.erb but not in your holidays/new.html.erb.
According to rails convention, if form is submitted in new.html.erb, then by default the POST method is called of that particular controller.
But since your file is show.html.erb, you have to explicitly define your POST method in the form_for.
form_for #holiday , :url => { :action => :create }, :html => { :method => "post"} do |f|

end
if session[:return_to]
redirect_to session[:return_to], :protocol => USE_PROTOCOL
session[:return_to] = nil
else
end
end
end
when i submit the sign up page the user is getting created but not the session
so its not directing to the blogs /home page as it has before_filter :login_required there in blogs controller..
how to resolve this
My code is not having include Authenticated system line
session[:id] = #current_user.id
