Hello All ! I''ve been using RJS extensively, but haven''t done any form validation with it until now. Should I be manually passing the RJS template some models error messages from the controller.... or ... should I be using error_messages_for in order to do the display ? I''ve implemented the first approach, but it seems like quite a hack. Any insight would be greatly

Howdy, I''m working on my first RoR project, and I want to build a form. The tricky thing is, this form needs to insert / update against two models, each with their own validation rules. Unfortunately, I''m having an incredible amount of difficulty with the error handling, specifically the fields wrapped in <div class=''fieldWithErrors''></div>

Hi all, I''m trying to take the standard scaffold and add a bit for ajax to it. I have a two column page with the list on the left and the right side is reserved for the create/edit actions. On a successful save my rjs executes and updates the list view on the left and returns the right side to a "home" page. However, if one of the model validations fail I use rjs ro

I am trying to figure out how to display model validation error messages for a multiple record form. My form is for setting up new accounts and collects information for two models - Accounts and Users.

I am having trouble getting error_messages_for to work. My controller(relevant parts) looks like def configure @account = session[:account] @user = User.new end def add_new_user_to_account @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.valid? session[:account].users << @user end redirect_to :action=> ''configure'' end end and my

I am trying so learn how to do custom validations. The validation works as expected, but I can''t get "error_messages_for" to display. How is the name of the object supposed to be formated? Where is this object created, the model or controller? What am I doing wrong here? #### Model ######################## class MyFolder < ActiveRecord::Base def validate # validation

Hi, I currently programming a delicious clone to understand ruby on rails. The problem I''ve got is that I prefill a form (form without models) without a database connection and then save it into the database. For validation i am using the validation helper methods. My Problem is that i don''t know how I get the error hash from the helper method validates... etc. because I

I am starting to play with validations as I want to catch errors before SQL rejects inserts to the table which are ugly when nulls are sent to ''Not Null'' columns, etc. If I do something in my model like... validates_format_of :first_name, :with => /^\w+$/, :message => "you moron, enter a name" I still end up

I have 2 models, entity and client. Entity has_one client and client belongs_to entity. Entity has attributes name and legal_name. Entity also has an unique index on (lower(name)). The pKey for both is the conventional Rails id. Client has a fKey constraint on entity_id and is indexed in entity_id. In controllers/clients_controller.rb I have: # GET /clients/new # GET /clients/new.xml

Hi there I''ve got a user model and an address model; a user has_many addresses. A user object can be created via an html form which also allows for an initial address to be created. I''ve got a controller method working to save both objects via the form, but I suspect I can achieve this in a more rails-esque manner. Here is my controller method: def signup @user =

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

I have a form that has no ActiveRecord model behind it, it is just composed of random fields like "email_address", "email_body", etc. Even though there is no model, some of these fields are required, and I would like to use the built-in Rails methods for automatically showing errors in the form. Unfortunataely, I can only see how to do this if the form is based on an

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

Hello Helmut, thank you for your feedback. I think that i am not making my self clear enough. Independant of the distribution, is it recommended to install Samba4 tar ball version in a production environment, or sernet package ?

I''m trying to provide our customers with a page where they can add up to 20 items to their cart in one form. The form simply has 20 rows with each row containing a text input for product code and a text input for quantity.
