similar to: Setting a message on a model -without- errors.add_to_base

In my model I am using errors.add_to_base: errors.add_to_base "Error 1" This works fine. If I do this twice: errors.add_to_base "Error 1" errors.add_to_base "Error 2" I receive the message: translation missing: en, activerecord, errors, models, modelname, attributes, base, as part of my error messages. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Many thanks, Mike

What are the limitations on using: errors.add_to_base to display errors in views? I have tried for days to add errors from my object.rb and they never get displayed. class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of(:name, :message => "Name is required.") validates_uniqueness_of(:name, :message => "This name is already in use. Please try

Hey guys, As most of you know, Rails 3.1 introduces query caching for ActiveRecord. Great change all-in-all, but for those of us with IT department mandates for using MySQL (yeah, yeah, I know...), it''s kind of a mixed bag. I need to disable query caching in a project I''m building based on 3.1. I''ve tried a couple different approaches, both without any success. I

I have an ActiveRecord model with a cattr_accessor. The class attribute is set up like this: class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base cattr_accessor :my_attribute end Because I need to give #my_attribute environment-specific values, I try to set this attribute in environments/development.rb like so: MyModel.my_attribute = 3 But this leads to odd and erratic behavior when #my_attribute is called

I''ve got a really strange problem using belongs_to. I apologize in advance for the length... this is going to take a while to explain. Basic idea: Creating a User requires that the user enter an email address and activation key that matches an existing PendingUser. After creating the user successfully, that pending user should be marked as "used". The problem: When I

def update @product = Product.find(params[:id]) @product.attributes = params[:product] if params[:main_image] image = Image.new params[:main_image] if image.save @product.main_image.destroy if @product.main_image @product.main_image = image else @product.errors.add_to_base(image.errors.full_messages.join(", ")) end end

I''ve been playing around with the idea of using the database for model validation where possible (instead of duplicating that validation in rails). My first approach to this was to catch exceptions from save/ create and parse the errors, in my case from postgres, to turn them into something friendlier. Something like: def update create end def create begin super

Code sample: class SomeController < ApplicationController before_filter do |c| add_crumb "Blah", "/blah" #breadcrumbs plugin redirect_to :controller => "foo", :action => "bar" unless c.send (:has_package?) end # Rest of the controller... private def has_package? # A bunch of logic work to check to make sure # somebody''s session contains

If I want to do this but not save to the database, how can I go about it? things.each do |thing| changed = someotherqueryresult thing.update_attribute :testattrib, changed end Essentially I want to create a collection called things with some extra attributes that are not saved into the database, as they are just used for sorting in a view and should not be saved (in fact saving them wastes

Working through the beginning phase from the Agile book on ''Administration'' undefined method `hashed_password='' for #<User:0xb7911324> ... /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/base.rb:1498:in `method_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/user.rb:12:in `before_create''

Basically, I''m trying to crop multiple images out of a remote/original scene.. Think flickr ''tagging'', only, the pixs in the tagged boxes become their own unique images.. by way of simulating an upload from the controller using attachment fu.. can''t quite figure out the specific method in fu that would allow me to do this.. I''m so near the edge right

This may be a dumb noob issue, but I haven''t found any answers while seaching the forum-- I have a controller method def edit @user = User.find params[:id] @user.password_confirmation = @user.password end The User class has an "attr_accessor :password_confirmation" definition (so "password_confirmation" doesn''t exist in the users table). My spec

Studying the RoR 3 Tutorial book by Michael Hartl and on page 345 there''s the code inside the SessionsHelper: _________________________________________________________ module SessionsHelper def sign_in(user) cookies.permanent.signed[:remember_token] = [user.id, user.sault] self.current_user = user end end __________________________________________________________ What is the purpose

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key. The kill method is meant to be used within a worker that you fire and forget. If you want to get the

I''ve recently run into a really weird situation that I''m just not sure what''s going on here. I''m trying to write a route that will allow searches to be done via GET requests (generally a good idea since it''s just retrieving information, helps for links and SEO, etc.), and I have the route properly set up and can access it in development mode just fine,

Hi all I have the following model: class PhotoGallery < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :title, :description, :file_path, :title_photo_id has_many :photos, :dependent => :destroy belongs_to :title_photo, :class_name => ''Photo'', :foreign_key => ''title_photo_id'' validates_presence_of :title, :description, :file_path

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

I have a model where I want to change the display for a single attribute such that if the value is an integer, it displays with no decimal point (e.g. "1"), but if it is non-integer, it displays with a decimal point (e.g. "1.25"). The easiest way to do this seems to be if I could override the to_string method for my_model.my_attribute.to_s. Is there a way to do this? Or

I just can''t get validates_confirmation_of working for the life of me!... It''s not the first time I''m having problems with it but I just never understand why!... This time I pretty much followed *exactly* the example in Agile Rails Development and still...it just won''t work! I put 2 different passwords in the form and it doesn''t trigger an error,

On a model I have the following simple validator: def validate unless name && name =~ /^\w+$/ errors.add_to_base("Name is missing") end end I would like to display a custom message on my views, without using the helper <%= error_messages_for "table" %> Where the messages from errors.add_to_base are stored and how to access them in the views? --
