similar to: Weird validation problem

All, I''m having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on here. I''m trying to override one of my getters so that I can format it a certain way in my form. But I can''t seem to get text_field to call the appropriate method on my object. So here''s my getter: public def FAX fax = read_attribute(:FAX) puts fax

There are datatypes that need to be converted back and forth from a string representation: they need to be parsed both coming from the database, and coming from elsewhere like views. Dates are an example, and I recently needed to implement a more forgiving converter for decimal numbers. So we have here at least two flows of execution, for example: post.date = "22-jan-2007"

Hey.. So I have a model that has a lot of number fields. Each of these go through a process when read in and read out to add/remove commas (between every three numbers) to make them more readable. The getter I currently have is like this: def sale_price Listing.insert_commas(read_attribte (:sale_price)) end and the setter is: def sale_price=(price) write_attribute(:saleprice,

Im developing a User model for my application (newbie stuff, but I have to start somewhere). I followed the tutorial at http://sonjayatandon.com/05-2006/how-to-build-a-secured-web-application-with-ruby-on-rails/ and decided to add an email field.

Rails extends Ruby with mattr_accessor (Module accessor). As Ruby''s attr_accessor generates getter/setter methods for instances, mattr_accessor provide getter/setter methods at the module level. In below example, you see that mattr_accessor declared in the class context of LookupContext. It''s declared in class, not module. However, modules are defined in LookupContext, for

Hello, I have a model Model: SPECIAL_FEATURES = %w(none top) class Model validates_inclusion_of :special_feature, :in => Model::SPECIAL_FEATURES, :on => :create, :message => "special_feature %s is not defined" belongs_to :team def special_feature attributes = attributes_before_type_cast if attributes["special_feature"]

In my project I have a group of foreign types (C++ classes) that I want to use, but don't want to represent as structs within LLVM. For example, for each field in each C++ class I have a setter and getter function that I'd like to use. The setters and getters are "extern C" functions to avoid problems with C++'s name mangling. After going over the documentation it

Hi, I can''t find how do i created a getter and setter property for a non db property. what i have done isnt working, i have a cnt mass assign error.

All, In a template, I have <%= text_field :target_list, :DateReceived, { :title => ''uploaded_at'', :class => ''target_list_info'', :disabled => ''true'' } %> Here is the DateReceived method on my

(This message was originally written on StackOverflow -- the formatting is much prettier there -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1283046/problem-with-setter-override-on-activerecord) This is not exactly a question, it''s rather a report on how I solved an issue with write_attribute when the attribute is an object, on Rails'' Active Record. I hope this can be useful to others

Hi, Is it possible to override the default accessors that are created by Rails? For instance I had this User object which has the column headings "password" and "salt" in its SQL table. I did manage to override the setter accessor for password by using def password=(new_password), but when I tried doing the same for the reader by using a def password method (to return a

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the
