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

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

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

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

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

I have some code in my controller which looks like this: if request.post? and @account.save and @user.save ... end and in my Account and User models I have many :validates, like so account.rb validates_presence_of :subdomain, :on => :create validates_uniqueness_of :subdomain, :on => :create, :message => "is already being used" validates_exclusion_of

Hi, I am following the excellent tutorial http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=14216 (post 5) on how to implement an access control feature i.e. only a friend is allowed to view a profile of a particular member. I am not using the restful authentication plugin as the author is using to implement the authentication feature (post 1) in the tutorial. All I am interested in is the post 5

I''m trying to update a record, but it just stops with "ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyRecord". I don''t understand why, because I never wanted my model to be read only. Relevant code: Controller: def edit @project = find_project if request.post? @project.update_attributes(params[:project]) if @project.save flash[:message] = _(''Project was

Hello, according to http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseUnicodeStrings Rails is not ready for UTF-8 in many places, e.g. the validates_length_of method. However, I see UTF-8 used in many Rails applications. So, hopefully, is the wiki page now out-of-date? Cheers, Nils -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, please have a look at this: My tables: create_table :languages do |t| t.column :name, :string, :limit => 3 t.column :title, :string, :limit => 30 end create_table :categories do |t| t.column :category_id, :integer (3.) t.column :created_at, :timestamp t.column :updated_at, :timestamp end create_table :categorytranslations, :id

I''m building a login system, and I want users to be able to update their password, first name and last name after signing up. So, when signing up password can''t be nil, and it must be between 6..20 characters long. However, on update, the user can choose to leave the password field empty (but fill in other stuff, like first name) and then I want the User model to not update

I started with LoginGenerator and have evolved a nice little ACL model that is perfect for my app. The user model has statements like the following in the model file that control validation of some of the login fields: validates_length_of :login, :within => 3..40 validates_length_of :password, :within => 5..40 validates_presence_of :login, :password, :password_confirmation, :on =>

One for the archive: Validation on a new password submission [/signup] was less than 30 characters [validates_length_of helper] but the resulting hash in the database was more than 30 [c40] ? the result was that in a relation JOIN that users the User model, the password *hash validates_length_of the hash [and not the original textual password] which silently fails and doesnt save the

I started working on this in response to Dave Thomas'' keynote as RailsConf 2006. This little patch will validate that your text fields will fit into the database. Obviously this is just a start, and many more validations could be added. Also, this code could probably be extracted into a plugin instead of patch to ActiveRecord. Index: test/validations_test.rb

Hi, I''m using acts_as_taggable. I have a form that asks for a question and a tag for that question, something like: <% form_tag -%> <%= text_area("question", "question_text") %> <%= text_field("tag", "name") %> <%= submit_tag %> <% end_form_tag %> The question is one model. Tag is another. My problem is that I

(sorry for misposting this to rubyonrails-core earlier) Today I tried to remove (actually overwrite) a validation from a model, from within a plugin.

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]
