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

In a model I have following validates_format_of. Is there an easy way to DRY this up? It seems to be rather repetitive. validates_format_of :expiration_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :activation_date, :with => /^[0-9]{4}[-][0-9]{2}[-][0-9]{2}$/ validates_format_of :some_other_date, :with =>

I need a validates_format_of that disallow dots. In the api there is nothing to find about how validates_format_of exatly works.

I''ve noticed that validates_format_of will return invalid if the field is nil. Question 1) How should we declare a validation that will validate it with a regex if it is set, but, if the field is not set, just move on Question 2) Why is it done this way? The other validators are only invoked if the field is set . If you want to declare the field mandatory, you add a

I have a controller method called update_all that grabs parameters for about 30 form fields and saves them to the database. My current code looks to see if there is a string in params[] for each form field (two fields for each SelfEvaluationItem) and saves the updated self_evaluation_answer if a string is available. Since this is iterated code, I am almost certain that this generates 30 or so

Been manually testing file column with success except it seems to upload the file before validating it. Also .pdf files (which shouldn''t even validate) crash WEBrick. What am I missing to solve these problems?

Hi there, I''ve got the following in my model: validates_format_of :postcode, :with => /^([a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2} [0-9]{1}[a-zA-Z]{2})$/, :message => "is not valid", :if => :postcode ... but it''s not working - it always insists on validation, even if postcode is empty. Basically, the postcode field is optional, but if it''s filled in, I want to

Greetings, How to write Example which will check if model''s variable''s format is valid using :on => :create, like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base ... validates_format_of :email, :with => /.../, :on => :create ...

Railsters: ActiveRecord''s validation system puts other database systems to shame. However, the newbies might not know how to write a regexp that excludes a match, instead of tests for it. Understand - I''m just asking this question to help them. I have been using Regexps since ''grep'' on Xenix! But the newbies here might not know how to do this:

I want to sanitise a phone number input. In my UsersController.rb file I have written a method that will take a string and reduce it to numbers only. This works find if I call it manually, but in the interests of keeping DRY I would like to ensure that the code sanitisation method is called whenever the data is edited (I''m using standard scaffolidng for this test). Is there anyway

Hi all, I''m hoping to stir the Rails pot a little bit here, so please go easy with me ;-) Regular Expressions is the most densely inhumane language construct ever invented in any ''civilisation'', and the fact that we still have to dirty our minds with this in Rails is something that (sh/c)ould ideally be corrected in Rails (preferably before the release of 1.2

I''ve got a user object which has quite a few attributes mapped to the database.

Often I need to do a one-off validation before Rails has had a chance to convert. For example, a date. Is there a general mechanism to cause validations to run on the raw input or do I have to resort to: private def validate unless attributes_before_type_cast[''date_of_loss''] =~ /^(\d+(-|\/)){2}\d{4}/ errors.add(''date_of_loss'', ''use the
