Argument not passing to model...

[Darren884]

I am trying to use a method from a model when reset the users password.

This is my code in my controller:

	def reset_password
		# Process the password reset.
		if params[:user] && params[:user][:username] && params[:user][:email]
			if params[:user][:username].empty? || params[:user][:email].empty?
				render :update do |page|
					page.replace_html 'notice', '<span class="error">Please enter a username and an email.</span>'
				end
			else
				if Users.exists?(:username => params[:user][:username], :email => params[:user][:email])
					password = 'test'
					@User = Users.find(:first, :conditions => {:username => params[:user][:username], :email => params[:user][:email]}, :select => 'first_name, email')
					@User.password = password
					@User.save
					email = Mailer.deliver_reset_password(@User, password)
					Mailer.deliver(email)
					render :update do |page|
						page.replace_html 'notice', '<span class="success">Your password has been reset and sent to you.</span>'
						page.visual_effect :fade, 'user_reset_password'
					end
				else
					render :update do |page|
						page.replace_html 'notice', '<span class="error">Wrong username and/or email.</span>'
					end
				end
			end
		else
			# Render nothing.
			render :action => false, :layout => false
		end
	end

However, when I call reset_password it says the user argument is not getting passed, and I just don't understand why. Here is the method code:

	def reset_password(user, password)
		recipients user.email
		from 'noreply@mysite.com'
		subject 'Temporary New Password'
		body render_message('reset_password.txt.erb'), :first_name => user.first_name, :password => password
	end

Can someone please help? Why isn't this working? Thanx.

Just a quick wild guess. Maybe it's a case thing? i.e. user vs. User

I think the code:

         
   email = Mailer.deliver_reset_password(@User, password)
   Mailer.deliver(email)

Should be

         
   email = Mailer.create_reset_password(@User, password)
   Mailer.deliver(email)

Also the method reset_password(user, password) belongs in the Mailer class and not the model class.

P.S. @User should be @user.

Guys that wasn't the issue. The only thing I can come up with is Ruby doesn't allow me to pass arrays as arguments.

Got it to work. Error was the view variables were not instant variables. So much for the Rails procket reference.

Rails procket reference.

The clue is in the title.
