similar to: Why are both of these validations not working?

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.

Hi I have a model that uses several validation helpers, for example validates_presence_of. Now I want to add a custom validate method for a very complex validation. I override validate in the model and it works by itself but when I do this the helper validations stop working. I guess the helper methods rely on the ActiveRecord::Base#validate original method in some way. Has anyone any suggestions

Hi Everyone, Ran into an interesting case last night, and I was hoping that someone on the list here could give me some guidance. I''ve got a Polymorphic association for Addresses (which can belong to two different models). The catch is, one model requires a strict, precise address, and the other only requires a City, State and Postal Code. I want to use :validates_presence_of :street,

Hi all, I am a RoR newbie and have the following scenario set up: There are 2 ActiveRecords involved, the first one being "User", the second one being "Visibility".

I''m having a problem with my User model. Originally I had alot of validation, including this: validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :password validates_length_of :password, :within => 4..50 validates_confirmation_of :password However, this made it impossible to edit a user without setting his password, which I don''t want. So I tried to isolate the above validations

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?

In my User form I have standard field to get user record attributes (first_name, last_name and email) I also have a select drop_down to choose a role from an array first_name, last_name and email are user record attributes, but I defined the role name as a virtual attribute validates_presence_of :email, :last_name attr_accessor :role_name validates_presence_of :role_name, :if =>

When submitting the form the following error is shown: Country expected, got String When I try <%= form.collection_select

Hi all, I have a unique workflow where it''s making the use of validations difficult. My app is for internal use in my company and I have a funky implementation (inspired by the e-commerce Railscasts episodes) of a cart. I have products which when I "add to cart" creates an order with a state of "incomplete". The product is a line item of my order. Hope that makes
