I have the general submit form with info like address, email, name,
etc.
However I seem to stumbled into a problem, everytime I access that
page, rails validates if the fields are empty or not. I have this
code …
def new_user
# if pressed submit …
@user = User.new(params[:user])
@user.some_bool_option = true
if @user.save
flash[:notice] = ‘User was successfully created.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
else
render :action => ‘new_user’
end
end
What I would like to see if it’s possible to create the user instance
ONLY if the user pressed the submit tag. Is this even possible?

The usual idiom would be:
def new_user
@user = User.new
if request.post?
@user.attributes = params[:user]
if @user.save
flash[:notice] = ‘User was successfully created.’
redirect_to :action => ‘list’
return
end
end
end
This makes a GET render with a blank form, while a POST will redirect
if successful, or render with the user’s values carrying forward (so
errors can be corrected). You can use error_messages_for(:user) in the
view to show the errors.
Thanks for the tip, but it does not work. After I input the data in the
field and finally press the submit button, it clears ALL data and gives
me
the validate_presence_off errors.

Is it actually submitting the data the way you think it is (ie what
is in your form ?)
Fred
Create Admin Account
<%= error_messages_for 'user' %>
<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘new_admin’ %>
Username
<%= text_field 'user', 'username' %>
Password
<%= password_field 'user', 'password' %>
<%= submit_tag “Create Account” %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
This is in my form. It still does the same thing, once I press submit,
it
clears all fields and reports the verify_presence_of errors.
The data is what I think it is …

I’d check that the data being submitted is what you think it is.

Are you sure this is the right form ? you’re working on your new_user
action, but this is a form for new_admin

Yes, im sure it’s the right form, I copied and pasted from an older
source.
But tis the right form.
Found the problem. I forgot to send the params 
My mistake
