How to automaticly generate password if not provided with authlogic

Question

Hi, everybody! I'm new on both this site and ruby on rails! I have a common installation of authlogic and want password to be generated automaticly for user registration if user did not set the password. What is the best way to do it?

Answer 1

The solution is:

#app/models/User.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
#...
  before_validation_on_create { |record| record.randomize_password unless record.password }
#...
end
