require admin to activate account before sign in

[matthew keable]

Hey everyone, 

I'm having a difficult time getting this to work. The guide I'm following covers most of the material, but I feel like there are a couple omissions. One being the controller:

User.find_by_approved(false)

...which results in a NoMethodError and undefined method "each" when I click the link_to "Users awaiting approval".

Two: the provided controller method includes no way of actually approving users. Which should require another admin accessible controller function - but for update. RIght?

It sounds to me like you expected a collection of unapproved users, but any of the find_ methods return a single record. Try changing this to where(approved: false), which will probably do what you want.

Right. You will be approving a single record, so find it first (by its ID) and then update it.

That definitely solved it. So the find_by in the wiki example is only meant to show a single unapproved user? How strange. Thank you for your help!
