If I have a site model that has_many :equipments, how would I validate the equipment only when ceratin conditions exist in the site model? I add the equipment dynamically in the Site form and also the form will not necessarily be "fully submitted" until some conditions exist in the main site form.
This maybe of some help: http://railscasts.com/episodes/41-conditional-validations Cheers, Nicholas On Jul 28, 10:15 pm, Me <chabg...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> If I have a site model that has_many :equipments, how would I validate > the equipment only when ceratin conditions exist in the site model? > > I add the equipment dynamically in the Site form and also the form > will not necessarily be "fully submitted" until some conditions exist > in the main site form.
Well sort of. I really need to validate another model based on the original form(model) conditions.

Yes, Site is the main model, equipment is associated. I only want to validate the equipment model when conditions exist in the site model.

Well it may not seem like it does not make sense but in the context of this app it does with the what the form is supposed . This is our flow. 1. Site is installed with eqpt. 2. The person using the form puts all eqpt that is on site attached to the form dynamically. 3. I have fields for the eqpt showing that it is installed correctly, settings are correct , .... 4. You can add eqpt but is might not necessarily be installed correctly, have issues, blah.... Step 4 is the reason that the form may be "submitted" but not fully processed until the issues at a site get resolved.

I have the main form "Site", has many :equipments. In the Site form I add equipment to the form dynamically to associate it to the site. I do not necessarily need to validate the equipment fields on the form submission unless a checkbox is checked on the "Site" form stating everything is good. Basically I only need to validate the equipment under specific case on the site model.

Ya, now that you said a flag would be good. I was initially referring to the main Site model initiating the validation for the equipment but a flag in the equipment model would probably be an easier solution.

Hello Chris:
There''s also an :if option for the validates_associated class method:
":if - Specifies a method, proc or string to call to determine if the
validation should occur (e.g. :if => :allow_validation, or :if =>
Proc.new { |user| user.signup_step > 2 }). The method, proc or string
should return or evaluate to a true or false value."

I think from your description you don''t really want ''validations'' in the rails sense. You might want to look into using some sort of state machine and do some conditions checking of the interrelated models when the main model is saved.
