Been manually testing file column with success except it seems to upload the file before validating it. Also .pdf files (which shouldn''t even validate) crash WEBrick. What am I missing to solve these problems?

In a model I have following validates_format_of. Is there an easy way to DRY this up? It seems to be rather repetitive. validates_format_of :expiration_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :activation_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :some_other_date, :with =>

I am just going through the book and I come across a problem with the code in the app/models: validates_format_of :image_url, :with => %r{^http:.+\.(gif|jpg|png)$}i, :message => "must be a URL for a GIF, JPG, or PNG image" It seems to moan when it''s empty even though I removed :image_url from validates_presence_of. How should I make it optional?

Is there a decent log viewer for colorized log files? less -r for me doesn''t work well, as it sometimes clears the screen. I''d like: * Either a console type less viewer which just removes the colors * Or, even better, a console one which handles the colors without clearing the screen * Or, best of all, a GUI viewer - maybe even with color I use both Windows and Linux.

I''m using validates_format_of and the validation I want to do works, but I can''t get an error message to be displayed if the data is invalid: validates_format_of :mobile, :with => /\A[\+0-9]+\Z/, :message => " - Wrong" I have another validation some where else that does display the error message: " - Name is too long" validates_length_of :name,

Hi Railers, I''m past considering myself a noob in Rails land - I think what I''m up against here is more of a bug or an anomaly that I''m unaware of (or that has changed in a recent version). I had a fully working validates_confirmation_of :email_address field in my app - was one of the first things I set up, extremely simple, been working for a long time. Then one

But, I can set the account_id column in my controller like so: @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.account_id = account.id @user.save Here''s what I give to the controller: User.create :name

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:
