similar to: Consolidating error_messages_for for multiple objects

I have a model Area which has_many Streets. The Area has a couple of attributes of its own but mostly I want to be able to add/delete/update Streets for a particular Area, but all on one page rather than having a separate view for editing a Street. I''ve managed to get a form displayed with a row for each Street already assigned to the Area by using form fields with

Just learning Rails.. So this is probably a noob question. My apologies. Could anyone please give me a quick summary/example on the usage of error_messages_for? I have two tables/models, Group and GroupMembers. Obviously, a Group has_many GroupMembers. I have a customized view which shows a list of GroupMembers followed by a field and a button which facilitates adding a member to the group by

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

I''ve got two controllers, let''s call one Post and the other Comment for simplicity, i.e.: class Post < ApplicationController def show ... end end class Comment < ApplicationController def create @comment ... end end In my create() method I would like to redirect back to the show method after I have saved the comment. But If I have errors in saving the

Hi, I have this save routine: def customer_address_create customer_options @customer = Customer.find(params[:id]) @customer.addresses.create(params[:address]) @saved = @customer.save end That passes to a rjs template like this: if @saved page.visual_effect :Fold, ''add_address'' page.replace_html ''addresses'', :partial =>

Hi, I wonder why error_messages_for take strings as params instead of instance variables. error_messages_for ''user'' instead of error_messages_for @user ''user'' is translated into @user eventually. If so, who not take the instance variables directly? Is there any reason for that? Thanks in advance. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I am trying to change the default formatting for the error_messages_for. To quote from the ROR manual: /////////// error_messages_for(object_name, options = {}) Returns a string with a div containing all the error messages for the object located as an instance variable by the name of object_name. This div can be tailored by the following options: header_tag - Used for the header of

Hi there I''ve got a user model and an address model; a user has_many addresses. A user object can be created via an html form which also allows for an initial address to be created. I''ve got a controller method working to save both objects via the form, but I suspect I can achieve this in a more rails-esque manner. Here is my controller method: def signup @user =

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

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

I''ve been all good and written some great validation in my models, but when something doesn''t validate, I''m used to using error_messages_for in my view to display the errors. Is there some sort of facebook_messages_for equivalent in facebooker? Or perhaps some parameter I can pass to facebook_messages? Justin

Hi, just a simple question between error_message_on / error_messages_for ... Well, if you use error_messages_for in your web page, there is no problem even if anObject==nil (for example , the first time you load your form) whereas error_message_on must be use with an instanciated object ... So, you always has to double check if anObject is not nil before using error_message_on ? I

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.

Hi guys, I just upgraded to the latest version of Rails 1.1 and am getting some odd error messages. Specifically, I have the line: <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> at the top of one of my .rhtml files and of course a variable @user. When an error occurs when saving ''user'', instead of getting the error message (which happened fine in Rails 1.0), I now

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'',

Hi all, After many days of struggling, I have a multi-model form with ajax elements more or less working, but I''m hitting a wall with a few bugs that I can''t figure out.
