Email activation and Confirm Email field

[Scorpio]

Hi,
I was wondering how to do two thing
1. Create a confirm email field (like the one hobo has for password)
2. Set an account to active only after the user has clicked on a
activation link in the mail

As far as 1. goes I think I *might* be able to figure it out if i know
where hobo keeps its user model logic and work from there

For the second one i know how to send and email, set the account as
inactive by default and redirect to a page informing the user that
the account must be activated but i have no idea how to create an
activation link.

Please help guys

If you make a new hobo app with 1.3, the setup wizard has options for an activation required site which should give you the code you need.

The first problem, the confirm password and password are actually just attribute accessors and the actual db field is generated from that.  You could make an attribute for confirmation, add it to the lifecycle create params and then do a validation check that the confirm email and email fields are the same.

I can't work with hobo 1.3 as the documentation is even worse than for
1.0. but thanks for trying :)

You don't have to work with it, but it will give you an example of the basic lifecycle code needed.

I don't think you understand. Due to underdeveloped DOCs I'm sticking
to 1.0 for the moment.

I don't think you understood my suggestion.  Make a 1.3 app, run the setup wizard, see what code it generates for the user activation lifecycle, copy that and put it in your 1.0 app.  Delete 1.3 app.

Doing that just now with a 1.0 app. Progress is low but steady. Thanks
for the tip.
