Method dependent validation?

rubyonrails-core

Hi,

I'm just working my way through Rails and had a question on validations. It seems that the default ActiveRecord validation only works on "save", "create", "update", etc. Assume I have a form for registration, which creates the user, and another one for login which references the user record (username, password). How do I make the login also check that the user has filled the form or entered a username? Is it programmatic in the controller, or is there some rails mechanism that enables me to apply many of the same validations I use for registration, also for login?

Many Thanks

Hi Farhad,

You should direct questions like this to the general list[1]. The core list is meant for discussion of the framework's development, not questions about it usage.

Oops - my bad. Thanks.
