Hey people,
does anyone know if it’s possible to access params inside the
before_validation function?

before_validation callbacks are instance methods of models, params is
an instance method of controllers therefore you cannot call params
from a before_validation callback.

Aren’t you doing something like Foo.new( params[:foo] ) already?
params is an array and responds to merge, so you can add stuff to
params before passing it to the model.

I’ve got a similiar problem but need to remove two attributes I only
need for validation.
I have my model plus two attributes (current, required) and I want to
validate these two attributes before saving. I cannot create a new
instance because it says “unknown attribute current”
I could do @errorcheck_current = params[:activity].delete(‘current’) but
then I cannot use it in the model for validation. Does anyone know how
to solve that kind of problem?

Delete the virtual attributes after validation, perchance? The
after_validation_* callbacks might help…

Sounds like you need to add attr_accessor entries.
attr_accessor :current, :required
