Hi, I''m working on my User model, which derives from Party, and parties have many e-mail addresses, telephones, and mailing addresses. When I save the user model, the validations occur, but the child error messages appear to be summarized. I expected the child errors to be listed in detail, as in "Put in the address, dummy". Instead, rails returns "Emails is invalid", or "Addresses is Invalid" for the message. In irb, I see that there are some interesting methods for the user object: validate_associated_records_for_emails validate_associated_records_for_addresses validate_associated_records_for_phones They appear to add the child messages to the @errors object of the user model, but they don''t seem to be called by @user.save! Also, I tried adding the following to the view, it didn''t appear to help: <%= error_messages_for :address %> <%= error_messages_for :email %> <%= error_messages_for :phone %> What is the rails way to force the display of the child errors? Or perhaps more appropriately, what is the correct way to handle validation when working with parent and child records on the same form. Thank you! app/models/party.rb class Party < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :addresses has_many :emails has_many :phones end app/models/user.rb Class User < Party end app/models/email.rb class Email < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :party validates_presence_of :address, "Put in the address, dummy" end app/controllers/account_controller.rb def signup @user = User.new @user.emails << Email.new @user.phones << Phone.new @user.addresses << Address.new end def signup_post @user = User.new(params[:user]) params[:email].each {|e| @user.emails << Email.new(e)} params[:address].each {|a| @user.addresses << Address.new(a)} params[:phone].each {|t| @user.phones << Phone.new(t)} @user.save! flash[:notice] = "Thanks for signing up!" rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid render :action => ''signup'' end Regards, Rich --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Use a validates_associated declaration to fully control when child validity is checked. You can then turn off the automatic validation by removing or emptying the above methods.> Also, I tried adding the following to the view, it didn''t appear to > help: > <%= error_messages_for :address %> > <%= error_messages_for :email %> > <%= error_messages_for :phone %> > > What is the rails way to force the display of the child errors?
