hello, i am writing a simple user login system. when registering a user account, i have two field: password password_confirmation which are validated using validates_presence_of validates_confirmation_of and these are then used to generate a password hash which is stored in my database when i want to update the record (without changing the password and entering new values for password and

Is there an expert validater that can point me in the right direction? I''ve looked for extended documentation on ''validates_presence_of'' but i can''t seem to find any. I''m trying to make sure that i don''t enter a nil object in my database, so i''ve added validate_presence_of to my Record Model. i.e. --> class Record <

Hi all I want users to register on my page. To register, they only have to deliver an email and a password. Then a link with an activation token will be sent to them, and after clicking the link the user sees a page where he should fill in further details, means: a username. My model looks like this: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :username, :if =>

Sorry to be such a pest but I am trying to learn Ruby, Rails and RSpec all at one go and it is a bit overwhelming. I have previously completed the depot tutorial in the Agile Web Dev with rails book and now I am trying do do it again using RSpec. What I would like to know now is why I am getting a rake failure error at the end of every spec:models run. Is this the expected behaviour when a test

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

when we have validate_presence_of :name in the model and then when we put in the create action that we re-render ''new'', then the form_for will populate the fields, and error_messages_for ''story'' will have the correct error message. this is really great, and and the same time, this looks like magic... i found that many books don''t explain how the magic

I just can''t get validates_confirmation_of working for the life of me!... It''s not the first time I''m having problems with it but I just never understand why!... This time I pretty much followed *exactly* the example in Agile Rails Development and still...it just won''t work! I put 2 different passwords in the form and it doesn''t trigger an error,

I have an error I don''t know how to debug. I am adding the login suport in Depot (the example in the RoR book) and LoginController#add_user throws ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in an innocent /login/add_user GET request. The trace goes down to a call to SQLiteAdapter#table_structure, and the source code suggests what''s happening is that "PRAGMA

Hi, guys, I''m learning to use Rails, and, while reading the "Rails: Up And Running" book, I tried to make an insertion validation, using the following code: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :filename end It simply didn''t work, the validation does nothing and an insertion with an empty field returns TRUE. What''s wrong?

Hello, I''ve come across an issue that I''m sure is a bug when using after_create with a has_one association, but I''m not 100% certain if I''m missing something. This is pretty much exactly the code I''m using. Two simple classes (Account and Contact) and I create the contact after I create an account (via after_create). I''m not passing in a

I''m trying to assign a parent foreign key value using collection_select from my child "new" form. The problem I''m having is if I do not make a selection, I get the following error instead of the Rails validates_presence_of error: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating

I have a model that contains a :boolean field. In my view, I have a simple select of Yes or No, which equates to true or false, respectively. If I choose yes and save, everything works great. If I choose no, my model fails validation as I have this set as a required field using validates_presence_of. I have checked the log and it''s definitely set to false, why would this fail validation?

Last night a friend of mine started ranting about validates_presence_of :boolean_field returning not valid when the boolean field is false. I checked the rails issues and this seems to be a pretty common concern about the naming of ''presence'' . Instead of changing the behaviour of the presence validator, I was wondering if maybe the answer to avoid such misconceptions could be

Hi, I just ran into this ActionController::RoutingError and just wanted to check if someone can confirm this as a bug in the Rails 3 beta gem. config/routes.rb contains: get ''login'' => ''session#new'' post ''login'' => ''session#create'', :as => :login GET /login works fine: Started GET

I want to modify and update the items in the Depot - "display_cart". Since the cart is in a session, its a little hard to get at the data. I just want to create a way to change quantities, prices and recalculate. Has someone done this, and could you point me to the right direction. Thanks Chas -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, I have some strange problem which appears only on heroku hosting 2.3.5 default stack (not on my local computer) I have some models. Here they are: class Contact < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :type, :class_name => "ContactType", :foreign_key => "type_id" validates_presence_of :name, :on => :create, :message =>

Is it possible to change error messages for Validation helpers? I am writing an app against a existing database (so no control over column names), but when there is validation error (e.g. with validate_presence_of) I would like to customize the field name. For example for telephone whose field name is PhoneNumber I would like to chnage it to "Telephone Number cannot be empty" rather

I could be going mad and missing something really obvious here but I''m getting an unexpected result from the following. The schema: create_table :services, :force => true do |t| t.column :id, :primary_key t.column :name, :string, :ilmit => 5, :null => false t.column :port, :integer, :null => false t.column :status, :string end The model: class Service <

I have a user model and a status model. Each user has a specific status (accepted, rejected, declined, etc). I have a form that allows the adminstrator to change certain options for a user, including their status. I''m using a drop down menu populated with the different status values, and a default option that says "Choose a new status" with a value of "". I want to
