I've recently installed a new server here. This is my first Samba install so I'm a newbie. We are using RH9 and Samba 2.2.7a. Everything with the transition from the old server to the new went great.

Given the case of validating the presence of an attribute and then performing other tests on said attribute, how do you go about not having to check for nil in the other tests? Example: validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date validate :validate_start_date_before_end_date def validate_start_date_before_end_date # without this check an exception will be thrown on access to the

There''s a small inconsistency in ActiveRecord''s callback syntax that has tripped me up before. It wouldn''t be a big deal, but it can lead to a silent failure.

Hi, I was looking around a bit and couldn''t find any callbacks that executed before before_validation The current problem with using before_validation is that it won''t fire if I''m not using validations with #save(:validate => false) - which makes sense. Before_save won''t suffice because I want these callbacks to fire before validation on the occasions that

Hi all, First up hello everybody, I''m new to this forum. I am also new to Ruby and Rails. One thing that struck me as very inconvenient for someone just learning the Rails ropes is that (apart from Arachno and Komodo, which at the moment I cannot afford - and don''t particularly like) there is no reasonable debugging support for Rails. I know about breakpointer which - while

I have a form with 3 fields: user_id, email and password. All 3 fields are required, so I have a "validates_presence_of :user_id, :email, :password" in my model. Works, but the validation errors show up in a different order than I specificed in the validates_presence_of statement. Is there a way to specify the order in which the validations (and corresponding error messages) should

Then the module Ranking has a bunch of instance methods and a submodule ClassMethods. The ClassMethods in this are mixed in to the class with self.included. So far so good. But I want the module to
