I am trying to figure out how to customize the error messages when I use validates_presence_of. I am validating a user name and I use <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> in my view to display the messages.

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

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

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.

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

Hi, i have a validates_something_of_something method in my User model...i added a :message => "you need to abcd" to the validation method, but when i try to access it through the <%= error_messages_for "user" %> it doesn''t give me any output... i was wondering whether there was a way to access all of the (:message => string) methods that are collected

Hi list, is it possible to check if form field will be required when form is submitted (through validates_presence_of or some other validates_* method)? I could do this manually but it doesn''t seems to me very DRY.

Hi, I would like to ask how to override validation functionality in RoR? In active_record_helper.rb class there is "hardcoded" default html generated durning validation.

I simply can''t figure this out. I have been reading and re-reading Agile book and wiki.rubyonrails.org - all sorts of validation methods and still, it doesn''t work. Controller code def create @client = Client.new(params[:client]) if @client.save! flash[:notice] = ''Client was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action =>

validates_presence_of :fname results in the error message "Fname can''t be blank". What I want is "First Name can''t be blank". I could do this def validate errors.add_to_base("First Name can''t be blank") if fname.blank? end I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method. Is there an easy to get what I want. I

Suppose I have the following models/migrations: class Car < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :manufacturer validates_presence_of :manufacturer validates_association :manufacturer end class CreateCars < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table cars do |t| t.column :name, :string t.column :manufacturer_id, :integer end end class Manufacturer <

Hi, I''m trying to save multiple records of the same model in one go. Which is no problem at all. Problem starts when I want to introduce error handling. The problem is that no record should be saved when one of the records contains an error.

Hi, I''m trying to "validate" the input provided in the login form to see if "username" is entered or not? How do i do this ?

ActiveRecord validation messages are currently not I18N-friendly. Specifically, I''m referring to the fact that it enforces a certain grammar, namely the beginning of the message must consist of the field name. For example: validates_presence_of :name, :message => "can''t be blank." ...generates the message "Name can''t be blank". This grammar

I have the following code and I am not able to get it working. The error message is not coming on the top, it is just getting displayed on a different page if I dont have the rescue block commented at the bottom.
