similar to: accessing validates_... , :message => 'something'

Greetings, I''m in the throws of deploying an app on site5, and I''m getting strange errors. I think I might need to understand how error_messages_for works. I get a pretty standard looking error: " You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occured while evaluating nil.errors Extracted

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

How can I modify the flash message that is displayed on a validates_* check? I used the :message => "" parameter, but it still gives me an annoying "Test : Please ensure you have entered the test message". I wanted to get rid of the "Test: " and the above "6 errors prohibited this table from being saved" I looked at the source of

I am trying to figure out how to customize the error messages when I use validates_presence_of. I am validating a user name and I use <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> in my view to display the messages. I know you can customize in the model with :message =>''custom message'', but I am trying to get rid of the first part of the error message which is, 1

Hi, I think the columns and table in migration should be able to have an optional "display_name" set manually. Something like: create_table :people, {display_name => "Personne"} do |t| t.column :first_name :string, :display_name => "Prénom". end Let me explain my point of view: Rails is a framework made to write programs in English. You see it when you

Hi, I would like to ask how to override validation functionality in RoR? In active_record_helper.rb class there is "hardcoded" default html generated durning validation. If I will use {code:ruby} validates_presence_of :summary, :description {code} in my model class, there is html generated: {code:html} <div class="errorExplanation"

Hi, I''m trying to work my way through the agile book and I''m at the example where I bring in form validation using the validates_presence_of methods and so on. The problem I am having is, my application completely ignores these functions. Even though the methods are there, they don''t catch any empty fields. This is what I have, created with scaffold: class Product

Hi Just something that I have been finding very helpful sometimes when I am stuck with "how could I test this?" moments is looking at the Rails test suite. At the moment I am working on testing our custom error_messages_for methods and I have found looking at how the Rails tests in active_record_helper work helpful :-) So just thought I''d share that. Have

(this is my first post on the ruby forum. If this is not the right place for this type of question please let me know). Ajax question I have a checkbox that toggles the visibility of another element (a text field) with the code: --- <p><label for="checkbox">Appear!</label> <%= check_box :object_name, :method, :onClick =>

What are the limitations on using: errors.add_to_base to display errors in views? I have tried for days to add errors from my object.rb and they never get displayed. class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of(:name, :message => "Name is required.") validates_uniqueness_of(:name, :message => "This name is already in use.

Hi all I''m working on a Custom Formbuilder. I want it to create me with a single method call checkboxes for a given HABTM association.

Hi, i have some issues with the default rails error wrapping. It wraps errors in a div with class ''fieldsWithError'', which is not good practice in my eyes. Adding a class ''error'' to the field would be much nicer. My solution to the problem: build your own FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the

I want append custom query parameters to my pagination links, like ?page=1&foo=bar. I can''t quite figure out how to do this with the pagination_links helper, although I believe the API says you should be able to: pagination_links(paginator, options={}, html_options={}) options are: :params: any additional routing parameters for page URLs Has anyone tried this? thanks, jeff --

Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to problems
