I can’t figure out why my validation errors are not showing up when I
submit my form with errors.
My new.rhtml view looks like:
<% unless @user.errors.empty? %>
Your comment could not be saved because:
- <%= msg %>
<% @user.errors.each_full do |msg| %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
| Please choose a username and password to create your account | |
| User Name*: | |
| Password*: | |
| Account Information | |
| Company Name*: | |
| First Name*: | |
| Last Name*: | |
| Email Address*: | |
| Address 1*: | |
| Address 2: | |
| City*: | |
| State: | <% @mystates.each do |state| %> <%= state.statename %> <% end %> |
| Zip Code*: | |
| Phone*: | |
| Mobile*: | |
My Model looks like:
validates_length_of :username, :within =>6…12, :message=>“Username must
be at least 10 characters”
validates_presence_of :username, :password, :company_name, :first_name,
:last_name, :email, :address1, :address2, :city, :zip, :phone
validates_uniqueness_of :username
And my controller looks like:
class UserController < ApplicationController
ActiveRecord::Validations::ClassMethods
scaffold :user
def new
@user = User.new
@mystates = State.find_all
@user.errors
end
def create
@newuser = User.new(@params[‘user’])
@newuser.creation_date = Date.today
@newuser.last_login = Date.today
if @newuser.save
flash[:notice] = “Entry was successfully created”
redirect_to :action => “new”
else
render_action “new”
end
end
end
I also tried inserting “<%= error_messages_for ‘user’ %>” into my view,
but that didn’t work either. What’s happening now is if i submit the
form with an ‘errors’, the new view/template reappears without any
errors. I want it to reappear with errors (and also preferably with the
user’s info defaulted so that they don’t have to retype it in).
I’ve already spent two hours trying to get this to work 
Any help will
be much appreciated!
