similar to: (2.3.5) removing validations

Today I tried to remove (actually overwrite) a validation from a model, from within a plugin. This was the original validation: validates_length_of :login, :maximum => 30 This was the only code I could come up with to replace it: def self.included(base) base.class_eval do @validate_callbacks.delete_if { |callback| begin # Sorry, only way to remove

Hello all. I have a users table (it has three columns: name, password, active) and I want to validate it''s name column only if the active column is set to true. To do this I use the :if statement in all my validations, but it doesn''t work. I''ve tried many ways to do this (using Symbols, Proc''s or methods) and nothing works (using Symbols doesn''t

I tried to user delete_if on an association: class Group < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :memberships, :dependent => :destroy has_many :users, :through => :memberships ... end This is the controller method, trying to use delete_if. Although some elements are removed (s2 < s1), the save method does not update the association. def intersect_or_remove_group other_group =

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]

Hello, I''m currently stunk on this issue for few days and I do not know how to get it fixed. The system always raises this error message : order is closed and here is my order.rb: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base include ActiveMerchant::Billing before_validation :set_status attr_protected :id, :customer_ip, :status, :error_message, :updated_at, :created_at attr_accessor

I am new to ruby/rails and am having a problem with validates_length_of. It seems to work fine on a varchar field, but when I try it on a char field the extra characters are silently truncated and the message appears that the record was successfully updated. How can I get my app to produce my error message instead? I''ve tried various variations, but here''s one of my tries:

I''m using validates_format_of and the validation I want to do works, but I can''t get an error message to be displayed if the data is invalid: validates_format_of :mobile, :with => /\A[\+0-9]+\Z/, :message => " - Wrong" I have another validation some where else that does display the error message: " - Name is too long" validates_length_of :name,

validates_presence_of :login , :on => :create, :message => "Please enter a login." validates_length_of :login, :within => 3..40, :message => "Login must be a minimum of 3 characters." Right now if the login field is left blank, both these errors get thrown. I assume that setting a conditional for the first one if the second one is thrown, something like

I''ve created an array of hashes in UserController#initialize to describe a menu: @menu_array = [ {:menu => ''home'', :controller => ''home'', :action => ''send_home''}, {:menu => ''user list'', :action => ''list''}, {:menu => ''login'', :controller =>

If I try: @article.article_groups.delete_if {|x| x.group_id == x.group_id } It does nothing. If I try: articletmp.article_groups.each{ |x| @article.article_groups.delete(y) } It deletes some of the groups. @article.article_groups.clear works. Why dosn''t the to first examples work as expected?? Do I have to put groups I don''t want to

Hello, I''m trying to cut down the errors if the guy already getting the empty nickname, so he doesn''t get anything about the nickname is short. validates_presence_of :nickname This below is not working ? validates_length_of :nickname, :within => 4..40, :if => Proc.new { |user| user.nickname.length > 1 } nor this one below? validates_length_of :nickname, :within

I''ve been working with the problem that Joe Hosteny has been talking about on this list and on the tickets he''s posted (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/1196) and have come up with a tentative solution that I''d like to bring up here. What if we use a "conditional" parameter in the validates_* methods? Here''s how it would look like in practice:

If I try: @article.article_groups.delete_if {|x| x.group_id == x.group_id } It does nothing. If I try: articletmp.article_groups.each{ |x| @article.article_groups.delete(y) } It deletes some of the groups. @article.article_groups.clear works. Why dosn''t the to first examples work as expected?? Do I have to put groups I don''t want to

I have an address model and am doing some validations. One of them seems to ignore :allow_nil => true. If I leave the phone input blank, I get it back with a "too short" error. Here''s the relevant parts of the model: 1. class Address < ActiveRecord::Base 2. 3. validates_length_of :phone, :in => 7..10, :allow_nil => true 4. 5. before_validation

Can anyone provide me an example of how they are displaying validation errors when saving a tag using Demetrius''s (not DHH''s) act_as_taggable plugin? For example, the tag model has a :validates_length_of :name, :in => 1..30, :too_long => "Tag name too long - max 30 characters", :too_short => "Tag must have a name" If a user inputs a tag longer than

Hi railers, Is there a simple method to extend Active Record to have similar functionality as the validate functions e.g. validate_on_find validates_acceptance_of validates_each validates_format_of validates_length_of validates_uniqueness_of etc... but only report warning on model attributes instead of errors(). I would like to save the model if there are warning and if the model is invalid

Ruby/Rails n00b here so go easy on me... I''ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out what is wrong here. I''ve checked all my models for the appropriate belongs_to, has_many, etc. I''ve checked to make sure I''m using singular and plurals in the right spot. I''ve checked my syntax around all my "within"''s and nothing seems to fix

I am saving an array of active record objects (college courses) in the session as session[:course_list]. This is the cart for a registration controller. If a student chooses to delete the course from the list I get the :id as params[:id]. However if I do session[:course_list].delete_if {|x| x.id ==params[:id]} does not work. session[:course_list].delete_at(idx) works. Ocourse to do this I have
