Hi Facebookers, Is there a helper or suggested approach for presenting validation errors on an fbml form? Something to translate rails error markup to fbml:error markup? thanks Joel

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

I have a problem with translation of english phrase when an input error occurs. When I put: error_messages_for("registratie") above my view. I get the error: "xx errors prohibited this registratie from being saved". The problem now is, the site is for dutch customers and I would like to translate this to a dutch phrase. I know I can translate the individual fields with the

I have AMOUNT field that ActiveRecord maps to Float. Then I use text_field helper to generate text inputs on forms. Helper takes model object and attribute name and does not provide any formatting abilities, thus 2.40 is shown as 2.4 which is fine with floats but does not look good with currency. I have worked around this issue by adding amount_f attribute to the model that returns formatted

I''m using the fields_for helper with accepts_nested_attributes_for The System model has_many children. If I do this in my haml template: -form_for @system do |s| =s.text_field :name -s.fields_for :children do |child_fields| =child_fields.text_field :name all is fine. The fields_for iterates over all children and puts the correct data in the fields. But...what I

Hi, i have a validates_something_of_something method in my User model...i added a :message => "you need to abcd" to the validation method, but when i try to access it through the <%= error_messages_for "user" %> it doesn''t give me any output... i was wondering whether there was a way to access all of the (:message => string) methods that are collected

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

After *much* digging and playing around, I finally figured out how to unit test instance variables that are created by actions. It was more difficult than I expected. It seems like there should have been a more straight forward way to do this. Can someone enlighten me? A simplified and somewhat contrived example of what I am current doing: Thanks.

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

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 all, I am having trouble trying to use reflect_on_association method with given the simplified model: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :contractor, :class_name => "BusinessUnit" end I expected the reflect_on_association method to return associated_foreign_key "contractor_id" but it returns "business_unit_id": ruby-1.9.2-p0 >

Hi, I''m a bit stuck with mocking a unit test of a join model with regards to a validates_uniqueness_of clause.

(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 =>

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

Still new to Specs... How do I create a spec to test a model method? Specifically, here is my spec: #testing model describe User do it "should have many user roles" do User.reflect_on_association(:user_roles).should_not be_nil end it "should have many roles though user roles" do User.reflect_on_association(:roles).should_not be_nil end it "should know

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

Hello, I have a problem with one of my Rails-Application, I have a table and on this there is object_name and a object_nr, so i want to create a combination of both in the model for a collection box.
