For my edit_modeluser methods, I wanted to edit only those text- parameters that actually had something in it (if there''s nothing in the password parameters, then don''t change it!), and it almost looked like the update_attributes method was the answer, only to find out that the method overrides the validation methods in a model. OK....That''s not good. Is there some other method that can update only a single parameter AND pass through the validation ONLY on that parameter? If not, then I guess I have to do the validation method in the controller itself. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
