For some strange reason I can''t get update_attributes to work. Any reason why that might be? here is my code: controller: def update @user = User.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) flash[:notice] = ''Your Information was successfully updated.'' format.html { redirect_to(user_url(@user))

I have used before_filter in the passed at the class level but can it be used in the method level. For example, I want to refuse a non-admin type from being able to delete anything in the entire application.

I''ve been using the login generator ''out of the box'' for simple authentication, and its been working fine.

Hi, I''ve been trying to get this to work all night. I''ve made some progress by reading other posts, but I''m stuck now and can''t figure out what I am doing wrong. I have two tables: application_users and user_types. In my application_users table I have a field named "user_type_id". At first, I thought if I set up the foreign key with the correct

Let''s say you want to validate that an attribute contains only 2-10 lowercase characters, e.g. with validates_format_of. The appropriate regex is obviously /^[a-z]{2,10}$/, right? Wrong! Try it with "abc\nANYTHING YOU LIKE" - this is perfectly valid. On the second look the reason is clear: ^ matches the start of a line, $ matches the end of a line. So as long as one line in

Hi All, Is there a way to filter / modify the output of a model class before it''s returned to controller/view that''s calling it? Example: I have a field phone_number which I always want to preformat using the number_to_phone() helper.... Any help is appriciated. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying so learn how to do custom validations. The validation works as expected, but I can''t get "error_messages_for" to display. How is the name of the object supposed to be formated? Where is this object created, the model or controller? What am I doing wrong here? #### Model ######################## class MyFolder < ActiveRecord::Base def validate # validation

I want to use the :if option on one of my validation calls. Basically I want to validate for a field''s format, but only if the field is submitted. It''s an optional field. validates_format_of :EMAIL, :if => Proc.new { |email| ! email.nil? }, :message => ''is not a valid email address'', :with =>

Hi, I need to allow login based on the phone number. During the signup they can give the number in any format with spaces, slash or (). But for storing in database and then during login to compare I just want the 10 digit number. How can I remove the special char from phone number before storing to db ? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

Hi all, I''ve got a form which accepts a "price" field and I''m attempting to validate it and allow some flexibility in the way the user enters it.
