Can't put email address field on login form (Authlogic)

Question

So I have Authlogic working fine with this user_sessions/new view:

<% form_for @user_session, :url => user_session_path do |f| %>

  <%          


        

Answer 1

You are going about this the wrong way:

Try:

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

and in user.rb

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

Your UserSession has no concept of email (it just knows about login).

It runs through a process of finding a User given a login, which you can intercept and override (with the find_by_login_method). For an added bonus you can also override, login_field and password_field or even verify_password_method
