similar to: overriding validation messages

We are using Rails for a project that must integrate with a legacy database. Is there a way to get Rails to automatically set the timestamp for a column named something other created_on or updated_on ? Also, how does one manipulate the size of the database connection pool?

Hello everyone, I''m almost cracking my head trying to do this birthdate validation. It turns out that I can only accept users with at least 18 years old and I''m trying to validate it writing this code on my user.rb fil at app/ models class User < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :full_name validates_presence_of :street_address validates_presence_of :city

"Beast" is more appropriate than you know. It''s definately Frankenstein code. (read: it ain''t pretty, but it works - some of the time). Anyway, it entertains my wife; not sure if hardcore programmers will get anything out of it or not. You might find it interesting (or pointless) that in a complete bastardization of rails'' main reason for being it

Hi! I have an error that I don''t understand. It shouldn''t be happening, according to the documentation! I have a class, defined as below. > class Coupon < ActiveRecord::Base > belongs_to :product > belongs_to :account > validates_presence_of :product > validates_associated :product > validates_presence_of :voucher > validates_presence_of

I''m using Rails 2.0.2 and I have been trying to take advantage of the "validates_numericality_of" with the ":greater_than" option with something like this: validates_numericality_of :users, :greater_than => 0, :only_integer => true, :allow_nil => true, :message => "The number of allowed users must be a whole number greater than zero." But this

First of all, thanks for you time. I have kind of a tricky question and wanted to see what you guys thought. ------------------------------------------- Lets say I have this: ------------------------------------------- class Purchase < ActiveRecord::Base validates_numericality_of :some_number, :only_integer => true end ------------------------------------------- Then I do this:

I would like to validate a number within a certain range. To first test that a entry is a valid number i use validates_numericality_of :my_number, :message =>''sorry, not a number'' to test if the number is within a certain range i use validates_inclusion of :my_number, :in => min..max, message => ''outside range!'' If the numericality test fails, I

Hello everyone! I have 3 models: === 1 === class Region < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :districts end === 2 === class District < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :region has_many :suburbs end === 3 === class Suburb < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :district validates_numericality_of :region_id, :only_integer => true end In edit.rhtml for SuburbController I need to specify

Hi, Today someone created a ticket for a defect in validates_numericality_of, at first sight i thought it wasn''t a defect but an enhancement. But then i found that validates_length_of accepts :message => "should be greater than %d", but validates_numericality_of doesn''t (The output for v_n_o is: "should be greater than %d" instead of "should be

How would I use validations to ensure I either received a blank value or a ten digit number? If I set validates_length_of :field, :in => 0..10 then that would allow any value in-between. The allow_nil => true option does not seem to work. I''ve also tried using this with some combination of validates_numericality_of but cannot get it to work. Any help would be greatly

Hi, there. I have two validations in the model: validates_numericality_of :value, :only_integer=>true, :allow_blank=>true validates_size_of :value, :is=>9, :message=>"must be 5-digit number", :if=>Proc.new{|u| u.value.is_a?(Numeric)} They work as expected except when the :value is character/string like "a" "abc", the second validation will also output

All, I have a field that I''m validating with validates_numericality_of on as well as validates_inclusion_of, like so: validates_numericality_of :number_of_owners, :only_integer => true, :message => ''must be a whole number'' validates_inclusion_of :number_of_owners, :in => 1..3,

Is there a way to use validates_numericality_of and still allow null values? I have a model with some optional values that can be nil, but if they''re present, they must be numbers. Will I need to construct a custom valiation for this, or is there some method built in? Seems like it would be a common enough need. Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am trying to validate a numeric value passed in from a form, which is saved in a MySQL db as decimal(9,2) Now problem is I need to ensure people don''t enter a form value like -. 003. In my validations, I have a validates_numericality_of check being done. Furthermore, in validate method, I have a check using an if statement such as : ((an_object[n].nil? or an_object[n] < 0) and

I''m having difficulty understanding how to make validation of facade columns consistent with validation of other active record columns. To illustrate this, I''m going to extend the facade column example discussed on pp. 284-5 of AWDR. Let''s say that there is a "rectangles" table that has width and height columns. For some unknown reason, width is stored in

Hi there, I have some model classes where I''ve tested successful that validation worked. After some more days of iterations I found that that validation isn''t working anymore. The validation functions are not even called. Example: class Company < ActiveRecord::Base validates_uniqueness_of :name validates_numericality_of :money validates_each :money do |record, attr,

I would like to validate a model on several events. I have: validates_numericality_of :ships_in, :on => :update, :message => ''xyz....'' I have this validating on update, but I also want it to validate on save and on create as well. Do I have to duplicate this validator for each event? or is there something cool i can do like: :on => [:update, :save, :create] (which

As we all know you cannot trust anything you receive from the internet. I am wondering what the correct RoR way is to solve this. For the model there are various validates_* methods that you can use to ensure some integrity of that part. That is good by itself. Though it would be nice if setting these would also result in enforcement in the database backend itself when supported. Here I am as

I''m having trouble getting the magical counter to work in a rails app with single table inheritance. following is the relevant code. thank you class declarations class Job < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :vents end class Vent < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :job, :counter_cache => true validates_numericality_of :width end class Rectangular < Vent
