Copy email to subdomain in rail development

Question

I use an authentication program in a rails application, and my application can have many subdomains. It currently uses email as authentication, and email must be unique to the entire application.

Now can I indicate the uniqueness of the email address on the subdomain, and not on the entire application? I tried:

validates_uniqueness_of :email, :scope => :account_id 

But it didn’t work out. He is still looking for email uniqueness for the entire application, rather than a specific subdomain when registering a new user.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I did it.
Edited config.authentication_keys in devise.rb as

 config.authentication_keys = [ :login, :account_id ] 

I also created a hidden field to include account_id in the login form

 <%= f.hidden_field :account_id, :value => @account.id %> 

Here, @account holds the account associated with the current subdomain.

And added the following protected method to user.rb to override the find_for_database_authentication class method

 protected def self.find_for_database_authentication(warden_conditions) conditions = warden_conditions.dup login = conditions.delete(:login) account_id = conditions.delete(:account_id) where(conditions).where(["lower(username) = :value OR lower(email) = :value", { :value => login.downcase }]).where("account_id = ?", account_id).first end 

If there is a better solution, then feel free to comment on the guys ..
Hurrah!

How do you save your users, do you set up an account on the user model before trying to save it? If not, then you will see the identifier_space nil - therefore, it will look like a scope.
