Hi, Is there a way of validating input inside the controller? or an equivalent to ActiveRecord::Validations::ClassMethods.validates_presence_of ? Cheers, -- Colin
just override the validate method
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
def validate
errors.add(:name, "is blank") if name.nil? or name == ""
# other validations
end
end
then you can call @user.valid? at any time

It basically creates a table-less model you can use for a form: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/tip/2005/11/19/validate_your_forms_with_a_table_less_model -- rick http://techno-weenie.net
