similar to: validates_presence_of non-null float/boolean/integer fields

I have a model that contains a :boolean field. In my view, I have a simple select of Yes or No, which equates to true or false, respectively. If I choose yes and save, everything works great. If I choose no, my model fails validation as I have this set as a required field using validates_presence_of. I have checked the log and it''s definitely set to false, why would this fail validation?

This almost feels like a bug to me, since false is not nil. (i don''t think!) Using v_p_o on a boolean field fails validation if the field is passed with ''false''. It passes validation in the case of true. How can I validate _presence_of a boolean if it is submitted false? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

Hi all, I am using "validates_presence_of" for validating all fields of my registration form. It is working fine and generating custom error message as mentioned. Also clearing all fields.

I have an events listing site that includes the models Event and DateAndTime, so an event that happens more than once (like a high school play) can have more than one date_and_time. The Event model has_many date_and_times, and the DateAndTime model belongs_to event. The Event model validates_presence_of two submission form variables, the_date and the_time, and those variable values then get used

Is there a way to specify the order in which the validations (and corresponding error messages) should

Hi I''ve got a problem validating a boolean and I can''t see what the problem is.

I''m having what''s probably a stupid-newbie problem with validates_presence_of and I''m hoping someone will point me in the right direction. Bottom line is that validates_presence_of does not seem to be ''firing'' when I use the :on => :update option. If I don''t include the option, the validation does fire. The problem is that I want to

Category.has_many :products Let''s say a product must belong to a category. I know it is recommended to do the following: class Product validates_presence_of :category_id end But, as we all know, this is a pain for new records, meaning what if the associated category is a new record?
