log in after signup

[kevinpfromnm]

This seems like it should be pretty common requirement but haven't been able to find an example.  While I'm sure I could work it out, figured give it a shot in case someone had an easy way to accomplish this.  And to also make a post that's hopefully easier to find via search.

Hi kevinpfromnm

what I have done is automatically login and redirect to the front page
after clicking on the user activation (link on the email).
The key is the "self.current_user = this" line on the activation
lyfecycle.

I'm still using Hobo 1.0.1 in my production server.

----------
class UsersController < ApplicationController

hobo_user_controller

auto_actions :all, :except => [ :index, :new, :create ]

( ...)

def activate
do_transition_action :activate do
if valid?
self.current_user = this
flash[:notice] = "Your account was successfully activated"
redirect_to "/front"
end
end
end

(...)

end

-----------

Best regards,
eddie.

I'm fairly sure this is sufficient. There's a "def current_user=" in
the hobo user model which puts the user into the session as well as
the current_user variable.
