    <p>Recently, I changed my code for password validation to the code below so that I could create a form that doesn't require password and password confirmation <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10566865/how-to-only-change-one-attribute-in-a-model-using-form-for-in-rails">How to only change one attribute in a model using form_for in Rails</a>.</p> <p>Please note that I did not user has_secure_password to generate my encrypted password. I used SHA2.hexdigest per Hartl in RailsTutorial.</p> <p>user.rb</p> <pre><code>before_save :encrypt_password, :unless =&gt; Proc.new { |u| u.password.blank? } validates_presence_of :password, :if =&gt; :should_validate_password? validates_confirmation_of :password, :if =&gt; :should_validate_password? validates_length_of :password, :minimum =&gt; 6, :maximum =&gt; 40, :allow_blank =&gt; true #changing :allow_blank from false to true above fixed my problem. def should_validate_password? updating_password || new_record? end </code></pre> <p>I followed this Railscast on Remember Me/Reset Password <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/274-remember-me-reset-password" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://railscasts.com/episodes/274-remember-me-reset-password</a>, and I keep getting this error:</p> <p><strong><code>ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid in PasswordResetsController#create</code></strong></p> <p><strong><code>Validation failed: Password is too short (minimum is 6 characters)</code></strong></p> <p>This occured when I tried to generate auth_tokens for existing users and again when I tried to submit my email for a reset link. I was able temporarily remove this validation by commenting out the piece of code and everything worked fine.</p> <p>I tried signing back in to the user account to change the password so that it was within the range (9 characters long), but I'm still getting the same length validation error message.</p> <p>Any tips?</p> <p>I have no idea where the problem stems from. I don't understand why my password is being validated.</p> <p>Here is my create action in my Password Resets controller:</p> <pre><code>def create user = User.find_by_email(params[:email]) user.send_password_reset if user redirect_to root_path, :notice =&gt; "Email sent with password reset" end </code></pre> <p>Here is my password reset form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_tag password_resets_path, :method =&gt; :post do %&gt; &lt;div class="field"&gt; &lt;%= label_tag :email %&gt; &lt;%= text_field_tag :email, params[:email] %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="actions"&gt;&lt;%= submit_tag "Reset Password" %&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Let me know if you guys need any additional files.</p> <p>Edit: Made changes in code with working solution.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    1. COsolved it. `:allow_blank => true` will make this work.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
