I like have_one a lot. It speaks to me as a Rails developer and I think it speaks to

ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to find any documentation for) validation of the value objects. For example, given the following: class Message < ActiveRecord::Base composed_of :sender, :class_name => ''EmailAddress'' composed_of :recipient,

I have a problem with ruby on rails validation total_book_toy.rhtml ================ <%= text_field ''book1'', ''title1'' %> <%= text_field ''book2'', ''title2'' %> I want to validate these text_field so user can''t insert same title. However, I was stuck how to do it. Or maybe you have another way how to do it.

Hi Facebookers, Is there a helper or suggested approach for presenting validation errors on an fbml form? Something to translate rails error markup to fbml:error markup? thanks Joel

hello! I made some custom validations for my app, which do catch invalid data in the console. However, when I enter invalid data through a form on the browser view, I get your stack trace error style page (similar to what you see when you get a syntax error or a nil object) instead of the nicely styled error messages (what you would see in a scaffolded application. First off, what is the stack

in testing my app I just use the validations validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email validates_presence_of :academy, :message => "You must select an Academy" validates_presence_of :role, :message => "You must select a role" standard error_messages are fine for most of my fields , resulting in : 5 errors prohibited this data from being saved There

Hi all, I recently started back up with Rails and things are going well up until now. I''ve set up acts_as_commentable in my Post model and it''s working great. Problem is users are able to create a "blank" comment. I''ve added the following validations in the comment.rb file generated by acts_as_commentable to limit the comment length: [code]

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, I was wondering if it is possible to output validation errors in a nested form? I suppose this should be possible, but I am experiencing an error message that I can''t track down. The error I get is the following : TypeError in Store/orders#create Showing app/views/store/orders/new.html.erb where line #45 raised: can''t convert Array into String This is ocurring in the

Hi, I have been reading a lot about this, but I do not manage to do a nice validation. I already managed to save data to the database, to validate a field, to display a "Everything went well" message. I can also display an error message, but the view does not end up properly. This is the form: <% remote_form_for(product) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %> <p>

Besides the hashed password, which is saved to db, I have two password-attributes in my User model: attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation I have validations on these attributes, and I need them to work both on create and update, since I have pages for changing and resetting the password. Now when I want to update just the user''s login name, I guess I have the next

Hi, I think the columns and table in migration should be able to have an optional "display_name" set manually. Something like: create_table :people, {display_name => "Personne"} do |t| t.column :first_name :string, :display_name => "Prénom". end Let me explain my point of view: Rails is a framework made to write programs in English. You see it when you

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

I know the debate of whether this should validate has been rehashed many times. My question is, what are the consequences of overriding this method to force validation? Will this break fundamental things? Will it break plugins? Is there a reason not to have a strict validation option? In my code I will never use this as I consider it a terribly broken method, but some gems use it and in one case

Is there an expert validater that can point me in the right direction? I''ve looked for extended documentation on ''validates_presence_of'' but i can''t seem to find any. I''m trying to make sure that i don''t enter a nil object in my database, so i''ve added validate_presence_of to my Record Model. i.e. --> class Record <

Hi all, Is there any standard plugin available for date validations, email address validation & url validations in rails? Thanks in advance, Medha. -- If not you then who.....

I''ve just put two plugins on RubyForge. Included below are the READMEs. You can get the plugins at svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/valirefl/validation_reflection/trunk svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/clientsidevali/client_side_validation/trunk Michael Validation Reflection ===================== Version 0.2, 2006-08-06 This plugin adds reflective access to validations -

So a lot of Rails apps (mine included) have multiple validations on a single attribute. For example: on the password field, validating that it is (a) not blank, (b) matches the confirmation, (c) is at least X characters long, and (d) contains at least 1 alpha and at least 1 numeric character. The problem is: if that field is blank, the default errors shows all four. That''s a little

Form level validation involving enforcing a relation between two or more form inputs that may not even be in the model: I am building a form that will query a range of records between two dates. The form ask for a starting data and a ending date. I want to validate that the user selected a starting data before or equal to the ending date. It seems that this validation should happen in the

Hi all, Is there a way to invoke validations at times other than save, create and update? I know that I can do this by writing my own validation checks using errors.add_[blah], but I''d like to leverage the existing validation code. What I have is two sets of fields in a record, set A and set B. Both sets must be validated on record create. However, the trouble is that after
