Having 'email' and 'login' in the same login form? about authlogic

Same issue here

Okay here's what worked for me, you have to choose one field as login_field. This allows me to have both of these fields "email" and "login"

acts_as_authentic do |c|
 c.login_field = "email"
end

I also saw it like this if you don't have a block:

acts_as_authentic :login_field => "email"

Well, the problem with this is, I want to have a login form that does both forms. There should be a way to run a simple query to the database for this? For instance, select * from the user table where the login = ? or email = ? and crypted_password = ?

Yes, look at the find_by_login method here in the docs:

http://authlogic.rubyforge.org/classes/Authlogic/Session/Password/Config.html#M000077

Hope that helps.

@binarylogic - 404.

Sorry, I moved the documentation:

[kylebragger]

are you saying find_by_smart_case_login_field() needs to be overridden?

[scsmith]

@kylebragger - try something like this in your user sessions model

find_by_login_method :find_by_login_or_email

then in your user model you can do sometihng like this:

def self.find_by_login_or_email(login)
  find_by_smart_case_login_field(login) || find_by_email(login)
end
