Allow users to edit their account without providing a password from WikiPage doesn't work.

[guivinicius]

Hi guys,

Someone here already tried the steps from wikipage to update user
attributes without password ?

http://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Allow-users-to-edit-their-account-without-providing-a-password

ENV:
Rails: 3.0.1
Devise: 1.1.3

I tried this strategy:

Here is an alternate strategy:

1 - Copy the registrations_controller.rb file from Devise
2 - Place this into your /app/controllers directory.
3 - In config/routes.rb add :controllers => { :registrations =>
"registrations" } to your devise_for root.
4 - Make sure you name the file registrations_controller.rb
5 - Change the first line: class Devise::RegistrationsController <
ApplicationController to class RegistrationsController <
ApplicationController
6 - Scroll to the def_update method and replace if
resource.update_with_password(params[resource_name]) with if
resource.update_attributes(params[resource_name])
7 - In /models/user.rb, add the following method:

def password_required?
new_record?
end

But still doesn't work.

Someone know how to do this properly ?

Thanks

I believe you could just override the update_with_password in your model, to sth like this:

def update_with_password(params={})
  if params[:password].blank?
    params.delete(:password)
    params.delete(:password_confirmation) if params[:password_confirmation].blank?
  end

  update_attributes(params)
end

This way you don't need current_password.

Please let us know if that works for you, and if so, please update the wiki removing that steps and adding this one ok?

Is this something that might have different solutions on 2.3 and 3.0?
I still need to support both branches for the immediate future.

Thanks in advance,

Walter

I guess this solution should work on both versions.

Didn't work yet =/

I fall in this error now.

ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError in Devise/
registrationsController#update

unknown attribute: current_password

app/models/user.rb:31:in `update_with_password'
app/controllers/devise/registrations_controller.rb:33:in `update

I guess you need to rollback all the changes you've done before (while following the wiki) and also remove current_password from your form.

[guivinicius]

I just removed the field current_password and works fine!

Thanks

Now I'm going to try this using a remote form in another page. heheh,
I hope it works.

Nice.. Could you please update the wiki with this info?

I believe others would like to know this works =).

[guivinicius]

Of course.

Thanks again.
