I checked out both of these previously-asked questions, and they're a help but not a full solution for my case. Essentially I need to validate a user-submitted URL from a form. I've started by validating that it begins with http://, https://, or ftp:// : class Link < ActiveRecord::Base validates_format_of [:link1, :link2, :link3, ...

OK, so I'm really new to Ruby on Rails. I'm using InstantRails, if that is going to make any difference. Here is my problem- I am trying to validate some entries into a form. If I use the form without any validations, then it works fine. If I add the validations, it completely changes the application's behavior and does not work. For ...
I have a user model with a HABTM relationship to groups. I do not want a user to be able to be in more than 5 groups, so would like to validate the length of the HABTM relationship. On the edit user page I have a list of checkboxes where the user can select the groups they want to be in (I'm using formtastic for the form). In my users...
I'm answering my own questions - just putting this up here for google-fu in case it helps someone else. This code allows you to validate the presence of one field in a list. See comments in code for usage. Just paste this into lib/custom_validations.rb and add require 'custom_validations' to your environment.rb #good post on how to d...
I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the formatting created by rails validations? My HTML is below, but basically if there's an error it'll format my errors in the built-in rails way... yet I'd like to have it not. For example, in the below, the password_field would be formatted differently in the event of an error (I don't want th...

What I have is a Settings page, where you can create categories and procedures (which belong to a category). index Settings action: def categories_and_procedures @prefs = @current...
Is it generally better practice (and why) to validate attributes in the model or in the database definition? For (a trivial) example: In the user model: validates_presence_of :name versus in the migration: t.string :name, :null => false On the one hand, including it in the database seems more of a guarantee against any type of b...

No...
I have a table (in a form) populated with radio buttons (with a button for each value in a collection). If the collection is empty, nothing shows up in the table (which is fine). (I'm using Struts2) My trouble comes when validating that the user has selected one of these radio buttons when the submit button is clicked. I'm using JQUE...
Let's say I have two tables -- Products and Orders. For the sake of simplicity assume that only one product can be purchased at a time so there is no join table like order_items. So the relationship is that Product has many orders, and Order belongs to product. Therefore, product_id is a fk in the Order table. The product table is ST...
I am having a problem where my button click event is still firing even though my custom server-side validation is set to args.IsValid = false. I am debugging through the code and the validation is definitely being fired before the button click, and args.IsValid is definitely being set to false once the custom validation takes place, but ...

I have a form that uses ASP.NET validations. I am using some inline C# in the aspx to show/hide certain controls depending on a user's role. I would use the Visible property, but there are so many of them, I just decided to do inline C# to show and hide (I know, not best practice, but bear with me for a second). I am having an issue wher...
I have a form on my site that lets users direct a message at other users, but I want to ensure that they can't direct a message at themselves. The class has attributes :username and :target_user, and I just want to set a validation that checks to make sure that these attributes can't have the same value, before anything gets saved. I f...
