Removing email activation from restful_authentication plugin

Question

I have a Rails app handling authentication with the restful_authentication plugin.

I'm experiencing problems with the email activation feature and before I deal with that I would like to just allow my users to register without having to go through the email activation process.

How do I disable the email activation feature.

Answer 1

The best solution I think is regenerating the authentication:

Save your old code from User and Sessions (from model and controller, if you coded something in that files), destroy the authentication and regenerate it

script/destroy authenticated user sessions
script/generate authenticated user sessions

The destroy script will delete the following files, be sure of backup it if you made any change.

rm  db/migrate/20100520071407_create_users.rb
rm  app/views/users/_user_bar.html.erb
rm  app/views/users/new.html.erb
rm  app/views/sessions/new.html.erb
rm  app/helpers/users_helper.rb
rm  app/helpers/sessions_helper.rb
rm  test/fixtures/users.yml
rm  test/unit/user_test.rb
rm  test/functional/users_controller_test.rb
rm  test/functional/sessions_controller_test.rb
rm  config/initializers/site_keys.rb
rm  lib/authenticated_test_helper.rb
rm  lib/authenticated_system.rb
rm  app/controllers/users_controller.rb
rm  app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb
rm  app/models/user.rb

In app/models/user_observer.rb, I replaced

UserMailer.deliver_signup_notification(user)

with

user.activate!

and it's working for me so far...
