Hi,
I need to selectively turn off validations for example, I want to
make sure that password and password_confirmation fields are equal when user
first signs up or changes his password from his profile, but not in other
cases e.g. updates his profile.
right now I am using a quick and dirty hack by using booleans e.g.
if(@skip_password_validations != false) #--do validations --#
is there anything better than this. any help would be greatly
appreciated.

What about the :if parameter that validations can take?
Like this:
validates_format_of :password,
:with => /^\w+$/,
:message => ''<b style ="color:red">Password
must be alphanumeric</
b>'',
:on => :save
:if => @skip_password_validations
The parameter can even be a Proc!
