similar to: Validating Uniqueness From Two Database Tables?

I have validates_uniqueness_of :name in my model which works fine when creating a record but doesn''t work when I edit the record. In other words it won''t let me create a record with the same name but I can go in after and update the field without a problem. Why would this happen? -Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you

Hello, I am working through the railsspace tutorrial, and i''ve noticed that the password validation is no longer working. I can get screen_name and email to validate, but for some reason, the password field is ignored... here''s what i have so far: within user.rb file PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH = 4 PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH = 40 validates_length_of :password, :within =>

Hello all, I am trying to do a Rails + AJAX call validation to check for the uniqueness of a field, by crawling the back end DB and return an appropriate message based on the result. I am on Rails 3.0.11. Your kind inputs on what could be the best way to tackle this would be of real help. Is there a ruby gem / js plugin / jquery plugin that I can make use of? Any blogs links implementing the

I have Proposals and Members and Members can vote for a proposal only once. So, I have "Vote belongs_to :member, :proposal", but to make sure a member only votes once, I want to make sure that there isn''t a vote in the db with that member_id and proposal_id. I can just put the appropriate find in a vote.valid? but I wanted to make sure I wasn''t missing a nice rails

Hey everybody, I''m trying to test a little piece of code I wrote, and I get the following error: Exception: can''t dup Symbol It happens in the following line: try_to_login @valid_user, :remember_me => "1", where the function try_to_login is: def try_to_login(user, options = {}) user_hash = {:screen_name => user.screen_name, :password => user.password}

Thought I''d post this in case it''s of use to anyone. Maybe even a recipe? It''s just some simple helpers to show AIM status on a webpage. I searched before coding it, and didn''t find anything similar. Maybe that''s because it was so simple :) These methods belong in a helper (such as app/helpers/application_helper.rb) # begin AIM helper methods def

I''ve got a user object which has quite a few attributes mapped to the database. As of right now I''ve got some validations in the model like: validates_presence_of :password, :message => "You must specify a valid password." validates_confirmation_of :password, :message => "Password doesn''t match the confirmation." validates_presence_of

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

In a Rails 2.x validation to check if the name of some model is unique within a some category, I would use: `validates_uniqueness_of :name, :scope => :category_id` In Rails 3, this is replaced with: `validates :name, :uniqueness => true` However, I can''t seem to find a method of defining the uniqueness'' scope. Am I missing something? Thanks, Angelo -- You received

I''m looking for the best way to use validation to confirm that an optional field (hostname) is unique only if a value is entered in the form. I was originally following the path shown in Agile Web Development with Rails first edition, page 66, to define the "validate" method, but didn''t have a clue how to include a uniqueness test there. Right now, I have the

Hey everybody, I''m trying to make an example of a small networking site, and when I log in a user, it should redirect and show his profile, but I get the following error: NoMethodError in User#index Showing app/views/user/index.html.erb where line #5 raised: undefined method `screen_name'' for nil:NilClass Extracted source (around line #5): 2: Your basic information 3:

Is it possible to pass parameters through link_to that will be used by the controller that link_to directs to? Specifically I have this code: <% for user in @users -%> <%= link_to user.screen_name, {:action => "index", :controller => "users", :user_id => user.id } %> <% end %> Is it possible to use the parameter at the end of link_to(:user_id

I have the following in my functional test file. class UserControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase fixtures :users def setup @controller = UserController.new @request = ActionController::TestRequest.new @response = ActionController::TestResponse.new @invalid_user = user(:invalid_user) @valid_user = users(:valid_user) end def test_login_success

I want to write a validate routine to check to enforce that a position must be unique in a category. (In another category, it doesn''t have to and shouldn''t need to be unique.) I write this code which works happily for new items: def position_in_category_not_unique @items = Item.find( :all, :conditions => [ "category_id = ? AND position = ?", category_id,

I have two models User and Team. Also I have a register form where the new user fill in her data and choose a name for a Team. Well, in the user model there are several validations which work fine, but team model also have a validation for a uniqueness name that doesn''t fire up when she gives an existent team''s name. This is the flow it follows: /user/new -> it shows a

This seems very simple, but I can''t quite get it. Probably because I''m just starting out with RoR. My view has a slew of labels and text fields; many are "required": <%= f.text_field :screen_name %> <span class="required_field">Required field</span> (The "required_field" class turns the text red and smaller.) I''d like to
