I have a model with a field called "website", its a varchar(150) mysql data type.
the field renders fine in my new/edit forms, I have insured it does get to the update/create method in the controller in the params args, but it never gets saved! I have a validation on it that does not fire either, even if I enter more than 150 characters, which is the limit.
Very strange because the same datatype, field name works just fine in another application. Any ideas?
validates_length_of :website, :maximum => Constants::MAX_LINK_LENGTH, :allow_nil => true, :message => "Please keep the link within #{Constants::MAX_LINK_LENGTH} characters or make it short at http://tinyurl.com/"
