Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] Real live user - when?

[Jiten Bhagat]

Hi Tony,

The 'confirm_email' action in the users_controller is where a user's 
account gets activated if it's the first time they are confiming an 
email (this action is reused whenever updated email addresses need to be 
confirmed).

However, the best solution for your requirement might be to
1. create a user.rb file in your /lib/ folder with a class definition 
for User that will extend the existing User model (ie: class User < 
ActiveRecord::Base).
2. in this user.rb file, define an after_save callback that checks to 
see if the user has been activated and then create the endpoint if required.
3. in your environment_private.rb file call the User class once to 
ensure that it gets loaded. (You might need to do a "require 'user'" 
first). You can load up the class just by writing "User". This will load 
up your customisations into the existing User class already loaded up in 
the Rails app.

Let me know if you need any more help with this.

Cheers,
Jits
