I'm new to the rails world so this can be a stupid question, but I cannot find the answer...
when I access a link like that:
www.domain.com/users/sign_up?email=some#email.com
I would like to have my "e-mail" field filled in with this parameter(some#email.com, in this case)
Any ideas of how can I achieve this (using devise) ?
Thanks!
EDIT
The answer:
<%= text_field :email, :value => params[:email] %>
You must use the name of the email field which is user[email] so www.domain.com/users/sign_up?user[email]=some#email.com I hope this helps.

I have a form and I have made some inputs required. After submitting the form that value will be sent to an API. I know that the validations are put into model file but since I do not have a database, how can I use the rails validation?
Right now I am validating the code inside a controller using if else.
if !params[:groups][:name].blank? && !params[:groups][:make].blank? && !params[:groups][:model].blank? && !params[:groups][:firmware].blank?
This does the work but it is not very elegant.
Take a look at ActiveModel, it lets you do "model things" without the database. There were some limitations that made me not use it in the end (I think related to associations) but for simple stuff it's great (and it's a part of how ActiveRecord works.
Example code from docs
class Person
include ActiveModel::Model
attr_accessor :name, :age
validates :name, :age, presence: true
end
this is easy. On the form input fields that you NEED, add required: true For example:
<%= form.for #something do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :title, placeholder: 'Title', required: true %>
<% end %>
The user gets an error if the required fields are not filled out correctlty.
Is this what you mean?

EDIT
I guess I would look at using the gem
client_side_validations
Let us know how you go
I am currently using devise for user registration and will like to restrict signups based on domains like #company.com or #work.com. The aim is for users to only provide the first part of their email address for example "lucy.dale" then select their domain from a drop-down menu such as #company.com. Please see the code I have generated so far..
<div><%= f.label :email %><br />
<%= f.text_field :first_email, :autofocus => true %><%= f.select :domain, options_for_select([["Select One", ""], "#company.com", "#work.com", "#office.com"]) %>
As i don't have access to the Devise controller or mailers, please can you advise me on how I can join the :first_email & :domain attributes to give (lucy.dale#company.com) before passing it to the default :email attribute in Devise.
Thanks for your help in advance
I hope this help someone out there. Instead of extending the devise registration controller, i decided to use a Regex to validate the domains. This will allow me restrict the domains as shown below
validates_format_of :email, :with => /\A([^#\s]+)#(company\.com)|(work\.com)\z/
The regex was added to the model for validation.
Say I have two fields in a new or edit form:
<%= f.text_field :email %>
<%= f.text_field :parent_email %>
How, in my model, can I validate that parent_email is different from email? The exclusion option seems like it might work, but I can't figure out how to access the email field's value within the model. Do I need to implement this in the controller instead?
validates :parent_email, exclusion: self.email # doesn't work, nor does :email
The following should work (but I guess there are cooler solutions out there):
class User
validate :email_differs_from_parent_email
private
def email_differs_from_parent_email
if email == parent_email
errors.add(:parent_email, "parent_email must differ from email")
end
end
end
I was just wondering: How can i make an attribute "write once" ?
To be more precise, I'm using Devise and I want the user to be able to register with this email but then, once it's done, I want this email locked.
I read that forms can easily be bypass, so I want to make sure my model does that.
Also, i'm using in one of my form that: <%= f.email_field :email, :id => "email", :disabled => "disabled" %>
Is there any risks that an user can modify his email after being registered?
Thanks for your answers!
attr_readonly allows setting a value at creation time, then prevents modifying it on updates.
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_readonly :email
end
I know that the RoR can do the validation in the models. But I want to confirm the user's password in the views. I means, it show two textfield for user to type password twice to ensure the user type the password correct, but in the database I only store one value. How can I handle it in the RoR?
In your model do:
validates_confirmation_of :password
In your view do:
<%= form.password_field :password %>
<%= form.password_field :password_confirmation %>
This is using the built in rails confirmation validation. It's will add the virtual accessor for you.
