configure authlogic to log in with "username" OR "email"

Question

I implemented authlogic for my authentication system. I was hoping if there was a method to log in users by "username" OR "email" . The solution provided here http://goo.gl/Ato1 doesn't work as I don't have a "login" field in the database.

So is it that, I am missing the "login" field in the db? OR is there any other way of handling it?

Login should happen by Username OR email...

Answer 1

Did you try this:

class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base 
  find_by_login_method :find_by_username_or_email
end

and in user.rb

def self.find_by_username_or_email(login)
  User.find_by_username(login) || User.find_by_email(login)
end

#note login is only the parameter name and does not refer to your model
