before_save :strip_strings
validates_uniqueness_of :username
validates_presence_of :username
private
def strip_strings
self.username = username.gsub!(" ","")
end
example:
username = " gissmoh-/upiLifMog2ELgA04lAiVw@public.gmane.org "
becomes gissmoh-/upiLifMog2ELgA04lAiVw@public.gmane.org
and is stored in the datbase as gissmoh-/upiLifMog2ELgA04lAiVw@public.gmane.org
"gissmoh @gissmoh. de"
becomes gissmoh-/upiLifMog2ELgA04lAiVw@public.gmane.org
and is stored in the datbase as gissmoh-/upiLifMog2ELgA04lAiVw@public.gmane.org
So I have duplicate entries!!
