similar to: error message on the redirected page

I am trying so learn how to do custom validations. The validation works as expected, but I can''t get "error_messages_for" to display. How is the name of the object supposed to be formated? Where is this object created, the model or controller? What am I doing wrong here? #### Model ######################## class MyFolder < ActiveRecord::Base def validate # validation

ActiveRecord validation messages are currently not I18N-friendly. Specifically, I''m referring to the fact that it enforces a certain grammar, namely the beginning of the message must consist of the field name. For example: validates_presence_of :name, :message => "can''t be blank." ...generates the message "Name can''t be blank". This grammar

Hi all I''ve approached Rails since a couple of months to develop a quick application for my company. Fantastic framework. As every noob, I do have some gaps to cover.

I solved this by putting a

Rails has many built in validation methods to ensure that an ActiveRecord instance cannot be created or updated under certain situations (typically caused by invalid data). However, I can find no methods to govern whether an ActiveRecord instance can be destroyed. Essentially, I wish an error to be raised when a user tries to delete an ActiveRecord without first adhering to a certain set of

Hello, I have a page where user can register him/herself to the site. If the user enters something wrong, or leaves blank textboxes, I want to reload the page and tell the user what went wrong.

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 have the following snippet in a controller. verify :params => "post", :only => [:create, :update, :destroy], :add_flash => {"notice" => "Invalid Access"}, :redirect_to => {:action => ''list''} If I directly access /posts/create by typing URL (GET), the program redirects to the "list" action, but the flash message I

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break.

Hi all, After many days of struggling, I have a multi-model form with ajax elements more or less working, but I''m hitting a wall with a few bugs that I can''t figure out. Guidance would be very much appreciated. I''m using the Ryan Bates technique from Advanced Rails recipes to dynamically add and remove elements on a multi-model form.

Here is an example that seems perfect for Ajax that I have not seen implemented nor can figure out how to do it. I am hoping someone can give me some pointers. On the sign-up page, I would like to do my validations (password length, username uniqueness,etc ) Ajax-style. But if all validates, then redirect to the success page. The combining of redirection to a new page with Ajax is throwing me.
