Hello everybody, I have been developing small applications in Rails from quite some time. But lately, I came across a bug which I have not been able to correct. If anybody could help me with it, would be of great help thankyou. Actually, the problem is that I have a form in my application with some set of fields. Now what "validates_presence_of" should do is that if I submit the form

Hello people, I''d like to detect whether an attribute of a model has vaildates_presence_of applied to it so I can automatically apply a mandatory (*) to the field...it doesn''t look easy...any ideas? Cheers, -- Dan Webb http://www.danwebb.net

Hi Railers, I''m past considering myself a noob in Rails land - I think what I''m up against here is more of a bug or an anomaly that I''m unaware of (or that has changed in a recent version). I had a fully working validates_confirmation_of :email_address field in my app - was one of the first things I set up, extremely simple, been working for a long time. Then one

I just can''t get validates_confirmation_of working for the life of me!... It''s not the first time I''m having problems with it but I just never understand why!... This time I pretty much followed *exactly* the example in Agile Rails Development and still...it just won''t work! I put 2 different passwords in the form and it doesn''t trigger an error,

Hi, I just started learning ruby on rails and I am having hard time with white spacing! Here is the piece of code that will not work: validates_format_of :image_url, :with => %r{\.(gif|jpg|png)$}i, :message => "must be a URL for a GIF, JPG or PNG image" and here is the piece of code that will work: validates_format_of :image_url, :with => %r{\.(gif|jpg|png)$}i, :message

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?

Greetings! I''m having a hard time understanding the way Rails handles urls. I''m specifically having real trouble with the image_urls in the Depot app in the Agile Web Development book.
