I want to use the :if option on one of my validation calls.
Basically I want to validate for a field’s format, but only if the field
is submitted. It’s an optional field.
validates_format_of :EMAIL, :if => Proc.new { |email| ! email.nil? },
:message => ‘is not a valid email address’,
:with => /^[-\w.]+@([-\w]+.)+[-\w]{2,4}$/
Is this correct? It doesn’t seem to be working.
Is it easier to use the method or string forms of :if?
Thanks,
Wes
