Ruby on Rails

Unfortunately, as you can tell from my original message, I'm a
state_machine user, not an aasm user. Nor have I ever used
Restful_Authentication in my of my Rails apps. So, I'm not sure I can
be of any help with your problem. While aasm and state_machine both
allow you to add finite state machine functionality to a Ruby class,
they do so in fairly different ways. What I know about state_machine
doesn't transfer over to aasm...
