Hi
I have in my user model
attr_accessor :no_password_validation_needed
with_options :unless => :no_password_validation_needed do |p|
p.validates_length_of :password, :minimum => 6
p.validates_confirmation_of :password
end
And from controller I do
@user.no_password_validation_needed = false
@user.update_attributes(params[:user])
And it works perfectly and now validation happens. If it is
@user.no_password_validation_needed = true
Then also I get the expected result as now validation not happens
But now when
@user.no_password_validation_needed = 2 #or any other value
Now I get unexpected result as validation not happens That is
same result when true? Why this?What modification should I make?Please
help
Thanks in advance
Tom

If you don''t want to install the whole library, you can write a monkey patch of your own to add this functionality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
