similar to: validates_acceptance_of (and hidden input)

Hi, I''ve a question concerning validates_acceptance_of method. Documentation says that the validated attribute is a virtual one, without a field in db. But when I add such an attribute to my form (say check_box(:xyz, :agreement)), it''s passed in params[:xyz][:agreement], but not assigned when calling Xyz.new(params[:xyz]), probably because corresponding field

On my registration form I have a checkbox for a waiver. In the model I have the statement: validates_acceptance_of :waiver, :on => :create, :message => "must be accepted" In the view: <%= check_box_tag("waiver") %> <%= error_message_on "user", "waiver", "Waiver "%> For some reason validate is accepting everything when the

I had to add a check box indicating that a user accepted certain terms to a page. So, I put in a ''validates_acceptance_of :terms'' line into the appropriate model and added a checkbox to my view. Everything works as expected in my web browser. However, my functional tests still pass and I didn''t add or change anything to them. I was expecting to have to add another

Hello, I am having trouble displaying a check box which must be checked but hasn''t been. I would like it to be highlighted as in a scaffolded view but the hidden check box field which is generated by the check_box helper is also highlighted, and the text next to it loses its styling.

Hi, I keep facing problems with autotest, and I don''t know what''s happening in the background, is there anyway to know what''s happening while testing? Example: @user = User.new @user.email = "testcom" @user.errors.on(:email).should_not be_empty ...throws error failure - You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! - You might have expected an

Hello all. Am I going totally nuts here and just want to check (Natch!) something. A normal check_box has two value posssibilities. One for checked and one for unchecked, the value gets submitted with a form. The check_box_tag on the other hand, has a checked_value (Called just ''value'') and for the unchecked value...nothing, zip, nada. This means that if you submit a form with

Hello there, I''m wondering how do they create functions on the fly? find_by_any_column_name ??

Hi, I would like to put a checkbox on a form where the input field is a variable rather than a field in a model. The normal way (with a model) would be: <%= check_box(''client'', ''accept'', {}, "1", "0") %> But since accept is a variable @accept and model client will not be there, how do I make a check box work? Regards, Paul
