Hey,
I have validation that I need to be able to bypass depending on a cookie
that the user might have.
My problem is for most users, they have to have a .edu or .com email
address. So I wrote that into the validation.
But if a certain cookie is set, I want to allow them to register with
any email address, and still run the other validations (uniqueness of
email, etc.)
Does anyone have any information on how to do this?
USER MODEL
validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email, :password
validates_uniqueness_of :email
validates_format_of :email,
:with => %r{\.(edu|com)$}i,
:message => "Must be a valid email address"

I tried validates_format_of :email, :with => %r{\.(edu|com)$}i, :message => "Must be a valid email address", :if => cookies[:is_admin] != "YES" and also have tried validates_format_of :email, :with => %r{\.(edu|com)$}i, :message => "Must be a valid email address", :if => not_admin def not_admin if cookies[:is_admin] == "YES" false else true end end But I get errors from both of them. How can I check for a cookie in the validation code? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You will somehow have the let the model know that it''s ok to skip the validation (eg set an attribute).

That would make things so much easier... Is there a way to check for the cookie in the controller and then pass through a parameter so that certain validation is skipped? Something like this in the controller, but make it only skip certain validation instead of all: if cookies[:is_admin] == "YES" user.save(false) else user.save end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
