Method: Authlogic::Session::Config::ClassMethods#login_field

Defined in:

lib/authlogic/session/config.rb

#login_field(value = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: login_field=

The name of the method you want Authlogic to create for storing the login / username. Keep in mind this is just for your Authlogic::Session, if you want it can be something completely different than the field in your model. So if you wanted people to login with a field called “login” and then find users by email this is compeltely doable. See the find_by_login_method configuration option for more details.

• Default: Uses the configuration option in your model: User.acts_as_authentic_config

• Accepts: Symbol or String
