i just ran into a problem with some test, and i am not exactly sure why, but the difference happened when i changed my model validation from: validate :custom_validation to: validate_on_create :custom_validation can someone give me any ideas on where in the chain the validation takes place? thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Please help, I am really at a loss at how validation is supposed to work in rails. Model contains acts_as_tree I want to force my NEW objects to have a parent I do NOT want existing object to have a parent so I only want to have parent_id on create, NOT on update. I am trying this: def validate_on_create validates_presence_of :parent_id, :message => "You must specify a parent for this keyword." end and I get: undefined method `validates_presence_of'' for #<Keyword:0xb774aba0> The only time it works is if I remove validate_on_create, but then I can no long...

...make sure the user has entered a vaild category (i.e. a category that exists in the categories table). So in the model of the table I put this: class Master < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :category, :foreign_key => "categoryid" validates_presence_of :categoryid def validate_on_create unless Category.find(:first, :conditions => "categoryid = #{categoryid}") errors.add(:categoryid, "is not a valid category id") end end end However this does not work because the "validate_on_create" is being run before the "validates_presen...

...d the create_item action) I need to update others tables and make lookups in other tables, to check if the Character has the prerequisites to actually create the InventoryItem. My problem is that I cannot seem to find a good place to put this logic. I''ve tried to put it in a InventoryItem#validate_on_create. This is a hassle, because the InventoryItem has no direct association to all the things it need to check/update. Also, isn''t it against the guide lines that validations actually updates/changes stuff as it is required here? I''ve also tried placing most of the logic in the create...

What''s the best way to validate_on_destroy. Rails only seems to include validate_on_create and validate_on_update methods. I don''t want to resort to doing: before_destroy do |j| raise "There is an error" if j.etc end Is there a way of finding out what action (create/update/destroy) is being performed if I use the ''validate'' method? -- Posted via ht...

...l save, the value printed by logger.info is "**** and blog id in article is 2".But after @article.save is called...whatever may be the current blog_id, the value that gets stored in database is always 1.

In content.rb model i have defined validate_on_create callback and here goes code for that: def validate_on_create logger.info("$$$ and blog id in article after save is #{self.blog_id}") # my own financial domain kung-fu end so...the above code also prints blog_id as 2 just before saving the article.

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after

Hi! I have a legacy table that has a column named "type" and need to remove this automatic subclassing by ActiveRecord. The api pages are vague about this, and I tried self.inheritance_column = "xtype" which seemed to get me half-way. In the validate_on_create method, the value of self.type was my model Class name.

Hello again! I have a action that lists users and that allows an admin user to create new users. When the admin user creates a new user an e-mail is sent to the created user telling him to register in the site. I want to validate the user name and password only when the user register and not when the admin user creates it. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks. Best regards, Hugo --

I have the following models: User, Registration, Event. User has_many Registration, Event has_many Registration, and Registration belongs_to User and Registration. So far, so good.

Hi, Correct me if I am wrong but there doesn''t seem to be an easy way to add validation outside the pre-built ones (validates_presence_of, validates_lenght_of, etc.). Ideally there should be something like: Class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates :my_method, :on => create, :message => ''was not valid'' def my_method(param) false unless

I have a couple forms that I''d like to be able to validate and automatically populate, but it shouldn''t be based on AR. In fact I often have a bunch of small forms that I can''t really justify writing a whole new model class for anyway. I''d like to validate the form input, and then use rails helpers to automatically populate the form if validations fail.
