I have an application that allows users to enter projects into a database where they can search for them later. Each user has his own login, which will be issued by the system administrator. When a user logs in for the first time, I want the "Change password" view to be displayed on the regular home page so that the user can change their password before using the application.
I set the boolean column pass_change in the User table, which is false when creating a new user.
Currently, when a user logs in for the first time, they are displayed in the password change window, but when I test this function, the password does not change, and the view remains unchanged after I send a new password and pass_change for this user does not change to true .
Index Type:
<html> <% if current_user.pass_changed == true %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag "index"%> <body> <div id = "section1"> <div class = "h1">Database Search</div> <div class = "h3">What would you like to do?</div> <div class="new_project_button"> <%= button_to "Create New Project", new_project_path, :class => "button", :method => "get" %> </div> <div class="search_button"> <%= button_to " Search ", search_path, :class => "button", :method => "get" %> </div> </div> </body> <%else%> <div class ="title">Change your password</div><%= current_user.pass_changed %> <%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => password_path(resource_name), :html => { :method => :put }) do |f| %> <%= devise_error_messages! %> <div class = "signin"> <div class = "field">New Password: <%= f.password_field :password, :class => "password" %> </div> <div class = "field">Confirm: <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, :class => "password" %> </div> <%= f.hidden_field :pass_changed, :value => true %> <div class = "signup_button"><%= f.submit "Change my password", :class => "button" %> </div> </div> <% end %> <% end %> </html>
Application Helper:
module ApplicationHelper def resource_name :user end def resource @resource ||= User.new end def devise_mapping @devise_mapping ||= Devise.mappings[:user] end end
Can anyone see what I can do wrong? I use a gem to handle authentication. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Update:
Here are my logs when I try to change my password:

My index view now looks like this:
<html> <% if current_user.pass_changed == true %> <%= stylesheet_link_tag "index"%> <body> <div id = "section1"> <div class = "h1">Database Search</div><%= current_user.pass_changed %> <div class = "h3">What would you like to do?</div> <div class="new_project_button"> <%= button_to "Create New Project", new_project_path, :class => "button", :method => "get" %> </div> <div class="search_button"> <%= button_to " Search ", search_path, :class => "button", :method => "get" %> </div> </div> </body> <%else%> <%= form_for(current_user, :as => :user, :url => password_path(current_user), :html => { :method => :put }) do |f| %> <%= devise_error_messages! %> <div class = "signin"> <div class = "field">New Password: <%= f.password_field :password, :class => "password" %> </div> <div class = "field">Confirm: <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, :class => "password" %> </div> <%= f.hidden_field :pass_changed, :value => true %> <div class = "signup_button"><%= f.submit "Change my password", :class => "button" %> </div> </div> <% end %> <% end %> </html>
and in my user model I added:
after_update :update_pass_changed def update_pass_changed self.pass_changed = true self.save end
