similar to: validation :on => :update....

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

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

Hi, I think I''m doing this the right way, but can''t get it going. I''m building a menu from the values in a mySQL table, and want to build it on the fly. This is something that should be working but only works halfway: <% @pages = Page.find(:all, :conditions => [''site_id = 4'']) %> <% @pages.each do |p| %> xyz <%p.id%> <%

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 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

I have the following in my model validates_numericality_of :lwind_id When a user submits a non numeric value for the lwind control, the default validaiton message is "Lwind is not a number". I need this to say "Land Window is not a number". I have placed the following in my model validates_numericality_of :lwind_id, :message => "Land Window is not a

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:

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,

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

I have a situation in which I want to validate a number is not zero. Both positive and negative values are acceptable, just not zero. validates_numericality_of has an :equal_to attribute, but I don''t see a :not_equal_to. I have not yet been able to find anyone who has discussed this. I did find information about custom validators, so I am now using a custom validator to check the field

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

I am trying to set up a validation in a model to ensure that a record can''t be saved unless the foreign key it belongs_to is a valid record. My model says: class Admin < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :user_id validates_numericality_of :user_id validates_uniqueness_of :user_id validates_associated :user belongs_to :user end but I can still create an admin

I have a price attribute in my model which I need to validate as a positive number if the attribute price_terms.requires_value is equal to ''Y'', otherwise price can be blank or zero. Price_terms is a select list which my model table belongs_to. How do I do this? - I tried doing this: validates_numericality_of :price, :if => self.price_term.requires_value.upcase ==

Hi I''ve got a problem validating a boolean and I can''t see what the problem is. Here''s my model: class FinanceAgreement < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :asset validates_presence_of :finance_company validates_inclusion_of :balance, :in => 0.01..10_000_000 validates_inclusion_of :term, :in => 1..600 validates_numericality_of

Hi, How do I validate a composed_of attribute in my model? I have a product model with: composed_of :price, :class_name => ''Money'', :mapping => %w(cents cents) This maps the price attribute to the Money (http://dist.leetsoft.com/api/money/) class. I want to make sure that the price only contains a price to 2 decimal places i.e. 1.25. This is because if someone enters

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

I have the following STI table: def self.up create_table :distributions do |t| t.string :type t.integer :simulation_id t.string :dist_name t.string :desc, :default=> ''fixed'' t.float :param1, :default => 5.0 t.float :param2, :param3 t.timestamps #fields for RscDist t.integer :resource_id #fields for LoadDist

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''ve got a menu in which I have all of my categories as links. Each category also has subcategories. I want to set it up so when you mouse over the category the subcategories will pop up (to the right of the main list, but that''s just CSS). This is what I have so far: <% for category in @categories %> <a href="#"
