Hi, I would like to ask how to override validation functionality in RoR? In active_record_helper.rb class there is "hardcoded" default html generated durning validation. If I will use {code:ruby} validates_presence_of :summary, :description {code} in my model class, there is html generated: {code:html} <div class="errorExplanation"

Does anyone know how to override the <div class="fieldWithErrors"> behaviour when a form field is incorrect? Thanks, Dan

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

If a model doesn''t pass validation the field in the view is put under a <div class="field_with_errors">. But who create that div? field_text helper do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to

Hi! The topic can be a bit misleading, because it may suggest that i want to change css style. What i''d like to change is that normally, when there''s an error, rails creates a div element with the fieldWithErrors class as the parent of the input. I''d like to change this behavior, so the input element itself will have this class added to its current classes and

In my User form I have standard field to get user record attributes (first_name, last_name and email) I also have a select drop_down to choose a role from an array first_name, last_name and email are user record attributes, but I defined the role name as a virtual attribute validates_presence_of :email, :last_name attr_accessor :role_name validates_presence_of :role_name, :if =>

Hi everybody, I needed change field error rendering for some forms created with Rail''s form builder. I found solution by changing ActionView::Base::field_error_ proc to own before form and changing it back after form rendered. I don''t like this solution :) It''s not thread-safe (but it''s not so important, nobody really wants it :), but I don''t like

in testing my app I just use the validations validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email validates_presence_of :academy, :message => "You must select an Academy" validates_presence_of :role, :message => "You must select a role" standard error_messages are fine for most of my fields , resulting in : 5 errors prohibited this data from being saved There

Hi all. I have an attribute, job_role_id_short, that is being set in a form. This field has a custom validation on it, which does this if it fails: self.errors.add(:job_role_id_short, "cannot be blank") I want to add the error onto the attribute, so that the form builder will wrap the field in a fieldWithErrors div. However, the error it generates says "Job Role Short cannot

I''m using the fields_for helper with accepts_nested_attributes_for The System model has_many children. If I do this in my haml template: -form_for @system do |s| =s.text_field :name -s.fields_for :children do |child_fields| =child_fields.text_field :name all is fine. The fields_for iterates over all children and puts the correct data in the fields. But...what I

When I look at the docs, password_field seems to take 3 arguments. So when I ''play around" with things and I attempt to pass three arguments to password_field ...

Hi, I want to extend formbuilder to make it output a lable (I know about labeled_form_helper made by technoweenie), my own formating, and a couple of extra tags inside the form attribute. I was easily able to extend form_remote_to. But when I continue to adjust the way elements are handled I don''t know how to continue. I can''t find the method text_field thats should is

In the API docs I found this: "You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers, then use your custom builder " I couldn''t find any further documentation on this. Where can I read more about this formbuilder class? For starters, where would I define a subclass of this class? TIA, Jeroen --

I would like to have a date control on a page and I would like a behavior similar to what you get using date_select with the :include_blank => true option where the first value in the dropdown is "- Month -", "- Day -", or "- Year -" rather than a blank value for the respective month, day, and year select fields. I took a look at the ruby source for
