similar to: Validation of Correct Date Submitted on Form

I have the following: MODEL: def self.get_tag_cloud Rails.cache.fetch(''fetish_tag_cloud'', :expires_in => 1.hour) do find(:all, :conditions => [ "approved_for_tag_cloud = true"], :order => "LTRIM(name)") end end CONTROLLER: def index @fetishes = Fetish.get_tag_cloud end VIEW: .... <% @fetishes.each do |fetish| -%>

The DB load on my site is getting really high so it is time for me to cache common queries that are being called 1000s of times an hour where the results are not changing. So for instance on my city model I do the following: def self.fetch(id) Rails.cache.fetch("city_#{id}") { City.find(id) } end def after_save; Rails.cache.delete("city_#{self.id}"); end; def

I have been looking at the many validates_* methods that we have available and I am wondering is it possible to create a custom validation method to be performed on a form field? I have the following form (remote via ajax) <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => ''do_action'', :id => @pid }, :before =>

Hey Everyone, According to the comments section in this blog post MediaTemple has their own capistrano deploy script: http://blog.vixiom.com/2006/10/12/media-temple-tames-the-beast-new-ruby-on-rails-hosting-service-with-mongrel/ The problem is that this deploy script refers to a file called ''mt-capistrano'' that I can''t find anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions

I am having a problem with doing a :through that goes back to the same table. The following are my two classes: >>>>> class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :spanks has_many :spanked, :through => :spanks, :source => :spanked_user has_many :was_spanked_by, :through => :spanks, :source => :user end class Spank < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :spanker,

I''ve been working with the problem that Joe Hosteny has been talking about on this list and on the tickets he''s posted (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/1196) and have come up with a tentative solution that I''d like to bring up here. What if we use a "conditional" parameter in the validates_* methods? Here''s how it would look like in practice:

Hi list, is it possible to check if form field will be required when form is submitted (through validates_presence_of or some other validates_* method)? I could do this manually but it doesn''t seems to me very DRY. For example, I would like to be able to dynamically add asterisk with some helper method if city is required here: City*: <%= text_field

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

I created a method to do additional validation on my model. How can I have that run whenever a model is being saved? (For now I don''t want to extend AR.)

Is their a way to validate an object without saving it? So I can do something like this if user.save else end But where save is just validating it but not actually saving it into DB.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, A few months ago someone posted a message about specifying validates_* constraints on a per-attribute basis. I just created a small plugin that allows you to do this. Here''s an example from one of my models: class Country < ActiveRecord::Base attribute :name, :string do |a| a.validates_length :within =>

As we all know you cannot trust anything you receive from the internet. I am wondering what the correct RoR way is to solve this. For the model there are various validates_* methods that you can use to ensure some integrity of that part. That is good by itself. Though it would be nice if setting these would also result in enforcement in the database backend itself when supported. Here I am as

Form level validation involving enforcing a relation between two or more form inputs that may not even be in the model: I am building a form that will query a range of records between two dates. The form ask for a starting data and a ending date. I want to validate that the user selected a starting data before or equal to the ending date. It seems that this validation should happen in the

How would I use validations to ensure I either received a blank value or a ten digit number? If I set validates_length_of :field, :in => 0..10 then that would allow any value in-between. The allow_nil => true option does not seem to work. I''ve also tried using this with some combination of validates_numericality_of but cannot get it to work. Any help would be greatly

I am trying to figure out how to display model validation error messages for a multiple record form. My form is for setting up new accounts and collects information for two models - Accounts and Users. My create method collects the parameters from the form and adds them to a Account object and a User object then runs account.valid? and user.valid?. If it''s valid it updates the models
