similar to: Validation Through Multiple Models from one Form

Regarding validates_associated... Let''s say I have: article belongs_to author But for whatever reason, I want an article to also be written anonymously and therefore not require an author. Then I have: Article: belongs_to :author validates_associated :author But I DON''T have validates_presence_of. What I want to do is validate that an author is valid --if it is

Hello, I have a form that submits data to two related models/tables. One is Customer the other is Address. Validation for Customer works fine but not for the Address.

If I have belongs_to :user Do I need to have validates_presence_of :user_id ? Does Rails validate the presence of :user_id automatically if I have belongs_to :user?

Howdy, I''m a Rails beginner working on my first significant project with RoR. I''m trying to figure out how to validate a foreign key (you know, make sure the row actually exists.) However, validates_associated doesn''t seem to be what I want to use, nor does it work... -- BEGIN -- class City < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :schools belongs_to :state

I have a model that contains a :boolean field. In my view, I have a simple select of Yes or No, which equates to true or false, respectively. If I choose yes and save, everything works great. If I choose no, my model fails validation as I have this set as a required field using validates_presence_of. I have checked the log and it''s definitely set to false, why would this fail validation?

I''m trying to assign a parent foreign key value using collection_select from my child "new" form. The problem I''m having is if I do not make a selection, I get the following error instead of the Rails validates_presence_of error: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

Hi all, I am a newbie to Rails. Please enlighten me on how to do this appropriately, the Rails and the Ruby way: Suppose I have a Recipe model.

ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to find any documentation for) validation of the value objects. For example, given the following: class Message < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :sender, :class_name => ''EmailAddress'' composed_of :recipient,
