similar to: Strict STI?

validates_presence_of :fname results in the error message "Fname can''t be blank". What I want is "First Name can''t be blank". I could do this def validate errors.add_to_base("First Name can''t be blank") if fname.blank? end I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method. Is there an easy to get what I want. I

I am trying to inherit from a ActiveRecord class defined in a plugin. The problem is that ActiveRecord thinks I am doing an STI and is looking up a table that doesn''t exist. Currently, I have a method in the parent class that looks like this: def self.fix_table_name class_eval do set_table_name(Inflector.tableize(self.to_s)) end end The problem is that this method

Please help, I am really at a loss at how validation is supposed to work in rails. Model contains acts_as_tree I want to force my NEW objects to have a parent I do NOT want existing object to have a parent so I only want to have parent_id on create, NOT on update. I am trying this: def validate_on_create validates_presence_of :parent_id, :message => "You must specify a

I was having some odd results when working with acts_as_ferret (current trunk), so I decided to test with the current version of ferret to see if I encountered the same problem. I did. Here are the details: installed ferret 0.10.10 on debian sarge with ''sudo gem install ferret'' (btw, same results on OSX) opened up an irb session: irb(main):001:0> require

Does anyone how to create a validation that: validates_presence_of :a OR :b I.e. :a OR :b must be present. I thought this would probably be possible with some kind of validation callback, e.g.: def check_a_or_b_is_set return (a or b) end Any ideas?

Dear very helpful friends, It is Sunday, there is no air traffic in Europe, what better to do than try and learn me some more R. I have the following example: owner <- c(1:4) animal <- c("cat", "dog", "cat", "dog") char.1 <- c("fluffy", "playful", "mean", "stupid") food <- c("cat food",

Hello, I''ve got a problem with the inheritance as soon as I try to use it in a model. I''ve got plenty of items which can share a lot of code, so I created a class "Item", which inherits from ActiveRecord::Base, but because it''s not a "real item" but an interface, I set it abstract (writing abstract_class? method). Then I have all the differents

I started using robotcoop''s CachedModel class in my project but have encountered problems when using it with the acts_as_ferret plugin. It seems it doesn''t index everything in my STI model, also if I do a search from my base STI class I get a result count but no results. If I run the same search from one of the children STI models I get the appropriate results (if the information

Hi all, Suppose I had the below example where a survey was carried out recording the number of each type of pet in each house count<-c(2,1,2,1,2,3,4) house<-c("house1","house1","house2","house3","house4","house4","house4")

Hey all, I have two models in my rails project that share a lot of traits. They each have the same 4 properties, and now I need to add 2-3 methods to each one that will be the same. In the spirit of DRY I am looking for a solution to write these methods only once. Both of these models already inherit from ActiveRecord . . . and I didn''t know if it was safe to just "whip up" a

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. The one which is giving me a little frustration, generated by my lack of knowledge is as follows. I need to make sure the region object is not deleted if there are countries associated with it. I solved this by putting a
