Hi all I have the following code in my controller: if @comment.valid? captcha_url = "http://captchator.com/captcha/check_answer/#{captcha_code}/#{@comment.captcha}" result = open(captcha_url) unless result.read == "1" @comment.errors.add(:captcha, "Captcha wurde nicht korrekt eingegeben") raise "#{@comment.valid?}"

I''ve got a really strange problem using belongs_to. I apologize in advance for the length... this is going to take a while to explain. Basic idea: Creating a User requires that the user enter an email address and activation key that matches an existing PendingUser. After creating the user successfully, that pending user should be marked as "used". The problem: When I

All, I am attempting to do some custom validation on my object. Here is my validate method: protected def validate puts "Do I have the target_list_ids method? " + self.methods.include?(''target_list_ids'').to_s if target_list_ids.nil? || target_list_ids.length == 0 errors.add_to_base("You must choose at least one target list for this job")

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")

Ive followed this example of how to validate a form with a tableless model: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/tip/2005/11/19/validate_your_forms_with_a_table_less_model Ive got this example working but when validation fails the failed boxes are not highlighted in red. At the moment i have a contact details form and want to validate the information entered by the user but this will just result

Here''s a snippet of my model: validates_presence_of :from_name, :from_email, :reply_name, :reply_email, :eSubject protected def validate puts "Calling: #{target_list_ids}" errors.add_to_base("You must choose at least one target list for this job") if self.target_list_ids.nil? end It appears that the validates_presence_of are being called just fine,

At the risk of being banned for posting the same question twice, I thought I''d try once more with a question for the title rather than a statement (on the basis that perhaps questions get answered and statements ignored ;-) ) ActiveRecord supports composed_of for value objects which is fantastic but one thing that it doesn''t seem to support (or at least I am unable to

I''ve been playing around with the idea of using the database for model validation where possible (instead of duplicating that validation in rails). My first approach to this was to catch exceptions from save/ create and parse the errors, in my case from postgres, to turn them into something friendlier. Something like: def update create end def create begin super

Hi to all, i''d like to insert a validation inside my model about a mac address field. I''ve used this sintax but it''s not working. validates_format_of :mac_address, :with => /^((?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9])+(?:[-a-f0-9]))$/i, :on => :create,

Is there anyway to perform a query from within a validate function? I need to verify that the sum of several rows does not exceed a certain value eg: class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :day belongs_to :project def validate totalhours = hours samedayentries = self.find_by_day_id(day_id) samedayentries.each do

This doesn''t make any sense to me anymore. I have an Upload that belongs_to a Comment. Within my Upload model I expect to be able to access the associated comment with comment.foo. I can only seem to do this AFTER validation. I''m assuming before_create takes place between validation and updating the database, because when I try to access comment.foo within the validate

I''m creating a simple portfolio site for a painter. I have a painting and an image model with following relationship: Painting has_many :images Image belongs_to :painting On the edit screen the user can edit the Painting data as well as upload pictures for a thumbnails and full size image. The Image model extracts filename, width, and height from the uploaded file, saves those

In my model I am using errors.add_to_base: errors.add_to_base "Error 1" This works fine. If I do this twice: errors.add_to_base "Error 1" errors.add_to_base "Error 2" I receive the message: translation missing: en, activerecord, errors, models, modelname, attributes, base, as part of my error messages. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Many thanks, Mike

What are the limitations on using: errors.add_to_base to display errors in views? I have tried for days to add errors from my object.rb and they never get displayed. class Keyword < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of(:name, :message => "Name is required.") validates_uniqueness_of(:name, :message => "This name is already in use. Please try

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

Hi all I have the following model: class PhotoGallery < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :title, :description, :file_path, :title_photo_id has_many :photos, :dependent => :destroy belongs_to :title_photo, :class_name => ''Photo'', :foreign_key => ''title_photo_id'' validates_presence_of :title, :description, :file_path

Hello! 1. You should modify the 'vorbis_ftoi(f)' for the undefinied OS/compiler in the 'os.h' on this way: old: static int vorbis_ftoi(double f){ return (int)(f+.5); } new: #define vorbis_ftoi(f) ((int)(f+.5f)) Because in some cases we don't use this function, and the compiler writes many error messages. 2. Could you write a frequency and bitrate independent

I have a weird issue .I am using simple captcha in forms in my rails applications. If I am using one captcha in a web page I don''t have any problem. But I have a scenario of using three(3) forms in one page in which all the three forms will have the captcha . So that when I refresh the page the captcha data of the three forms are equal. When we come to database

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 =>

Hello, I am trying to integrate a captcha into a form that is used to update a database. I am using a method that is outlined here: http://svn.2750flesk.com/validates_captcha/trunk/README, but things are not working correctly. The captcha image shows up in the user form, but the captcha input is being ignored. The following shows my controller file: class PublicController <
