Hello all, I''m fairly new to rails so I''m probably doing something really stupid here.... I have been banging my head at this for hrs now... I''ve tried so many different things and nothing seems to get me any further... I am trying to create an image uploading page that will simultaneously create thumbnails to separate file directories and update the database via

Hi all, I''ve been searching the web and the list archives for help on this and I''ve found some tips, but I''ve been racking my brain on this for hours. I have a Model, View, and Controller that are handling the uploading of a file to my server. I want to make sure that the description is set and that a file is selected to be uploaded. I have set validates_presence_of

Is there any way to change the output of rake spec fails? The errors are just totally over the top ugly and not helpful. First of all the ruby -Ilib line always comes before each test and I find it distracting. But if an error occurs on something that is not nil it just gives me the entire contents of that object and that is no small matter when the object is a HTTP request response. Here is

Thanks to everyone who responded to my first set of questions. Not only did I get my questions answered but I improved my code and learned a couple new things. I think I prefer the mailing list over IRC... easier to follow :-) I have some more questions if you don''t mind. Some are Rails related and some are Ruby related. 1) This is concerning displaying error messages. I am assuming

I have an action that needs to update two models/two tables in one shot, and it works great, but ignores one column. Here is the action code: (verify_id is irrelevant in this case) [CODE] def edit @page_title = "Edit User" @page_active_3 = "active" if request.post? @user = User.find(params[:id]) @profile = @user.profile verify_id(@user.id,

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. My code follows. Should I get cleverer with the CSS or write my own check_box helper which

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

In iteration D.1 on page 109 I am not getting a styled error message box displayed at the top of the checkout as described in the tutorial and I cannot seem to discover where I have erred. The scaffold.css is copied from the pragmatic programmers site: #-------------------------------------------------------------------- $ cat public/stylesheets/scaffold.css body { background-color: #fff;

I am having trouble getting error_messages_for to work. My controller(relevant parts) looks like def configure @account = session[:account] @user = User.new end def add_new_user_to_account @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.valid? session[:account].users << @user end redirect_to :action=> ''configure'' end end and my

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. The one which is giving me a little frustration, generated by my lack of knowledge is as follows. I need to make sure the region object is not deleted if there are countries associated with it. I solved this by putting a

Hi all I have the following Model: Member(id, username, first_name, last_name, hashed_password, password_salt) Now I want to allow users to register for an account using the following form: --- <%= form_tag %> <%= error_messages_for ''member'' %> <p><%= _(''Username'') %>: <%= text_field(''member'',

Been playing with merb. One of the helpers I liked in rails was on form validations. Found this was real easy to port over, so I thought I''d share. It doesn''t highlight the field with the error, but it gives that same nice little div on top. Say I had an articles controller def create @article = Article.new(params[:article]) @article.save! redirect

I have a form that updates 3 models. To the end user its just a form and they don''t need to know what is happening behind the scenes. My problem is that the error_messages_for prefixes errors on associations with their name. I have a user model that has many addresses. When a user is signing up errors on address fields show up as Addresses first name can''t be blank I

Hello, I''m have a form and the error messages are not being displayed properly I got a remote_form_for and am trying to show errors like I always do: <%= error_messages_for @user%> but the output is: 4 errors prohibited this user from being saved There were problems with the following fields: * {{attribute}} {{message}} * {{attribute}} {{message}} * {{attribute}}

I am trying to figure out how to display model validation error messages for a multiple record form. My form is for setting up new accounts and collects information for two models - Accounts and Users. My create method collects the parameters from the form and adds them to a Account object and a User object then runs account.valid? and user.valid?. If it''s valid it updates the models

Hello all, I''m perplexed by the following: I''ve implemented flash messages in my application.rhtml with: <% for name in [:notice, :warning, :message] %> <% if flash[name] %> <%= "<p id=\"#{name}\" class=\"flash\">#{flash[name]}</p>" %> <% end %> <% end %> I''ve implemented CSS in

Well, it is happening the following: When save empresa, and stop in validates, as much in "empresa" how much "usuario", appear only error message of "empresa", and not of "usuario".

I am starting to play with validations as I want to catch errors before SQL rejects inserts to the table which are ugly when nulls are sent to ''Not Null'' columns, etc. If I do something in my model like... validates_format_of :first_name, :with => /^\w+$/, :message => "you moron, enter a name" I still end up

I''ve got the following model: User < AR::Base has_one :user_detail UserDetail < AR::Base belongs_to :user has_one :address Address < AR::Base belongs_to :user_detail I''ve a form to gather the data, and it includes partials for each class.

Dear all, Help me get a simple AJAX behavior right. I know zero AJAX, thus please advice. Below is a simplification of the real code and I hope I can describe my intention clearly. class StoreController < ApplicationController def show_cart @cart = Cart.new @new_item = CartItem.new end def add_item @new_item = CartItem.new(params[:new_item]) if
