similar to: Validation on update

Hi all, I am a RoR newbie and have the following scenario set up: There are 2 ActiveRecords involved, the first one being "User", the second one being "Visibility". The corresponding users table holds address informations regarding a User. The visibilities table holds visibility settings for the individual columns of the users table (i.e. firstname, lastname, country

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

I have the following validation on and ''Order'' model: validates_presence_of :order_lines, :message => ''missing one or more products.'', :on => :save Ok, great. An order has to have products. Ok. Problem is, there are some old orders that don''t have lines (don''t ask) and in the admin tool we need to be able to work on these orders.

One of my models has a column that is updated very frequently from a separate process, so it is important that when a record is saved in rails, this column should be left alone. In the update method of the controller I have: @record = MyModel.find(params[:id]) @record.update_attributes(params[:my_model]) params[:my_model] doesn''t have a reference to the column I''m talking

Hi, I have been reading a lot about this, but I do not manage to do a nice validation. I already managed to save data to the database, to validate a field, to display a "Everything went well" message. I can also display an error message, but the view does not end up properly. This is the form: <% remote_form_for(product) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %> <p>

Hello. I want to select an item from a select list and have that result in an ajax call that updates two sections on the page.

Hello all ! I have a model being validated that spits it''s error messages on the resulting page using: error_messages_for(:mymodel) .... Basic stuff. It''s working perfectly. Now, I have something else I want to check on the same page (that isn''t an attribute to the Model)... and am trying to add it using: @mymodel.errors.add_to_base("another error here")

Does anyone know of a way to update individual attributes with validation? update_attribute disables the validation checks in the record model, so I''m wondering if there''s a workaround for this. In my application, I want to allow the user to update some or all the attributes without having to enter :password and :password_confirmation, both of which are subject to

Is there an expert validater that can point me in the right direction? I''ve looked for extended documentation on ''validates_presence_of'' but i can''t seem to find any. I''m trying to make sure that i don''t enter a nil object in my database, so i''ve added validate_presence_of to my Record Model. i.e. --> class Record <

Hi, I am trying to use the update_attributes on object with nested attributes and I am getting the following error: ProductPrice expected, got HashWithIndifferentAccess Here''s the situation (simplified): class Product < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :productPrice end class ProductPrice < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :product, :dependent => true

Besides the hashed password, which is saved to db, I have two password-attributes in my User model: attr_accessor :password, :password_confirmation I have validations on these attributes, and I need them to work both on create and update, since I have pages for changing and resetting the password. Now when I want to update just the user''s login name, I guess I have the next

I have a form with 3 fields: user_id, email and password. All 3 fields are required, so I have a "validates_presence_of :user_id, :email, :password" in my model. Works, but the validation errors show up in a different order than I specificed in the validates_presence_of statement. Is there a way to specify the order in which the validations (and corresponding error messages) should

I''m trying to add some code for my ActiveRecord class so that it is executed whenever an object is updated, this code is a seperate process that reads from the same table represented by my model class so when it runs it needs the database to be up to date. In the following situation this is fine: # MyModel def after_save `/usr/local/bin/update_models -i #{self.id}` end # controller

Is there a "normal" way to override the behavior of validator methods (like validates_presence_of) for updates vs. creation? For example, in the AWDR example store program, the User class validates the presence of the password and its length - which makes sense when the user entry is created. But what if you wanted to provide an update form that updates just certain items

Is anyone out there writing specs to check attr_accessible fields? I had originally written my spec to check for allowing the desired fields, and then none of the other regular db fields. Unfortunately this isn''t satisfactory, because attr_protected could have been used instead, which of course wouldn''t prevent mass assignment to any whatever=(val) method. I''m thinking
