Module Authlogic::ActsAsAuthentic::Login::Config
In: lib/authlogic/acts_as_authentic/login.rb

Configuration for the login field.

Methods

Public Instance methods

This method allows you to find a record with the given login. If you notice, with Active Record you have the validates_uniqueness_of validation function. They give you a :case_sensitive option. I handle this in the same manner that they handle that. If you are using the login field and set false for the :case_sensitive option in validates_uniqueness_of_login_field_options this method will modify the query to look something like:

  where("LOWER(#{quoted_table_name}.#{login_field}) = ?", login.downcase).first

If you don‘t specify this it calls the good old find_by_* method:

  find_by_login(login)

The above also applies for using email as your login, except that you need to set the :case_sensitive in validates_uniqueness_of_email_field_options to false.

The only reason I need to do the above is for Postgres and SQLite since they perform case sensitive searches with the find_by_* methods.

The name of the login field in the database.

  • Default: :login or :username, if they exist
  • Accepts: Symbol
login_field=(value = nil)

Alias for login_field

A convenience function to merge options into the validates_length_of_login_field_options. So instead of:

  self.validates_length_of_login_field_options = validates_length_of_login_field_options.merge(:my_option => my_value)

You can do this:

  merge_validates_length_of_login_field_options :my_option => my_value

Whether or not to validate the login field

  • Default: true
  • Accepts: Boolean
validate_login_field=(value = nil)

A hash of options for the validates_format_of call for the login field. Allows you to change this however you want.

Keep in mind this is ruby. I wanted to keep this as flexible as possible, so you can completely replace the hash or merge options into it. Checkout the convenience function merge_validates_format_of_login_field_options to merge options.

  • Default: {:with => Authlogic::Regex.login, :message => lambda {I18n.t(‘error_messages.login_invalid’, :default => "should use only letters, numbers, spaces, and .-_@ please.")}}
  • Accepts: Hash of options accepted by validates_format_of
validates_format_of_login_field_options=(value = nil)

A hash of options for the validates_length_of call for the login field. Allows you to change this however you want.

  • Default: {:within => 3..100}
  • Accepts: Hash of options accepted by validates_length_of
validates_length_of_login_field_options=(value = nil)

  • Default: {:case_sensitive => false, :scope => validations_scope, :if => "#{login_field}_changed?".to_sym}
  • Accepts: Hash of options accepted by validates_uniqueness_of
validates_uniqueness_of_login_field_options=(value = nil)
