Hello, I am working with URL validations. I want this validation to be optional if the data exists in the form submission. I have tried several things. validates_format_of :website, :if => params[:organization][:website], :with => /((http|https):\/\/)?[a-z0-9]+([\-\.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*\.[a-z] {2,5}(([0-9]{1,5})?\/.*)?/, :message => "Please enter a valid url" Of

Hello, I try this : validates_format_of :name , :with => /^[A-z0-9_.- ]*$/ , :message => "bad characters" for accept any name with chars "A" to "z" , "0" to "9" , with "_" "." "-" and " " The pattern is really simple but I have this error : SyntaxError in Login#register

I am trying to write a model validates_format_of that will accept a field containing only certain characters. I want the field to only allow the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and the ''_'', ''@'', ''.'' and ''-'' characters. I have hunted around a bit and came up with this: validates_format_of :password, :with =>

First and foremost, excellent library - excellent work. Thank you. Now, here''s what I''m doing: <div id="wrapper"> <fieldset id="page_1"> <legend>Page</legend> <fieldset id="group_1"> Group </fieldset> <fieldset id="group_2"> Group </fieldset>

My observe_form is basically totally limp. I think it should update without hitting submit button but even if I hit it , it doesn''t change (doesn''t seem to post the data). Can anyone please take a look and see if I"m doing something wrong. TIA Form: <% start_form_tag({:action => "livesearch"}, :id => "asearch") %>

I''m having this problem with IE and getElementsBySelector, but am a relative js novice, so quite possible -- likely even -- that I''m doing something stupid. Either way, a fresh pair of eyes would help. Basically I''m duplicating a fieldset within a form (so you can upload more than one photo). [BTW, the fieldsets have a CSS id which relates to the object id of the

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''m just upgraded GetText from 1.4.0 to 1.6.0, and all my tests got broken. I got this error: ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.3/lib/active_record/base.rb:1129:in `method_missing'': undefined method `N_'' for User:Class (NoMethodError) etc My model user.rb has this line: validates_format_of :login, :with => /^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/, :message =>

I''ve got a user object which has quite a few attributes mapped to the database. As of right now I''ve got some validations in the model like: validates_presence_of :password, :message => "You must specify a valid password." validates_confirmation_of :password, :message => "Password doesn''t match the confirmation." validates_presence_of

In console, I am trying to create a User but the :account_id does not come in. Console just gives me back :account_id => nil. Obviously I''m trying to set it though. Silly console... 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

Hey there, (First steps in Ruby and Rails...) I''m trying to make a fieldset collapsible, like they are, for example, on many Drupal pages. What I''ve figuared out is the following: <fieldset id="addressdata" class="collapsible collapsed"> <legend> <%= link_to_function("Show/Hide Addressdata") { |page| page[:

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,

I tries to observe a change in a field with jquery in Rails 3.1 in order to be able to implement two cascading select boxes. A a first step I just try to observe a click in a div using jquery I have the following function in a .js file that is loadedin the head section (fieldset is the id of a div) and is displaying a view with the div fieldset $(document).ready(function() {

I can''t figure out why I am getting a failure. It renders out fine in the browser. <h1>New member</h1> <%= error_messages_for :member %> <% form_for(:member, :url => members_path) do |f| %> <fieldset> <legend>Member Info</legend> <p><label for="member[first_name]">First Name:</label> <%=

There was an old email thread from the end of January 2006 discussing regular expressions for matching URLs. I took some of the sample expressions and tweaked them a bit to the point where I think they are pretty useful. They pass all of my tests anyway. :-) For a reminder, here''s a sample message from that thread. My code is below it. On Jan 26, 2006, at 5:28 AM, Nathaniel S.

just to show i''m not a complete dork: i receive emails from the list through gmail and i''ve already searched for the answer to this problem and since i''ve been a member i''ve not received an email about it. Google search results are mixed at best. so this is my problem: i have a form: <div id="container"

Hello, I have a form that should be a POST method, but Rails insist to put a hidden field "_method" that has the value "put" does anyone knows why? Thanks, David Sousa Controller: ------------------------------- def new @user = @current_user end ------------------------------------------- View: ------------------------------------- <% semantic_form_for @user,

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

Hi all, I''ve got a form which accepts a "price" field and I''m attempting to validate it and allow some flexibility in the way the user enters it. It''s a numeric field but I want the user to be able to enter dollar signs and commas naturally in the data entry. I''m trying to understand how to use validates_format_of, and I''m not sure what

Let''s say you want to validate that an attribute contains only 2-10 lowercase characters, e.g. with validates_format_of. The appropriate regex is obviously /^[a-z]{2,10}$/, right? Wrong! Try it with "abc\nANYTHING YOU LIKE" - this is perfectly valid. On the second look the reason is clear: ^ matches the start of a line, $ matches the end of a line. So as long as one line in
