Hi:
used scaffold to create a phone number table. But when phone number saves it's not coming through as the number entered in the text field:
RESULT FROM DB WHEN I ENTER PHONE NUMBER OF 215 555 1212 INTO WEB FORM:
REPLACE INTO "phones" ("id", "number", "phone_type_id", "employee_id", "created_at", "updated_at") VALUES (13,2147483647,1,'8','2008-10-25 11:05:48','2008-10-25 11:05:48');
Seems like I'm doing something wrong that the phone number entered insn't coming through as the number. the "2147483647" value is the same value that is entered in the DB all the time.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance!
All code below:
VIEW:
<% form_for(@phone) do |f| %> <table width="600" border="0"> <tr> <td class="label">Number: </td> <td><%= f.text_field :number %> (required - no spaces or dashes) </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="label">Phone type: </td> <td><%= f.collection_select(:phone_type_id, PhoneType.find(:all), :id, :name) %> (required) </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="label">Number: </td> <td><%= text_field_tag :number2 %> (required - no spaces or dashes) </td> </tr>
<%= hidden_field_tag :employee_id, @phone.employee_id %> <tr > <td class="button form-right" align="right"> <%= link_to "Cancel", "/dashboard.html" %> </td> <td class="button form-left"><%= f.submit "Finish >>" %> </td> </tr> </table> <% end %>
CONTROLLER:
def new @phone = Phone.new if params[:id].nil? else @emp = Employees.find(params[:id]) @phone.employee_id = params[:id] end
respond_to do |format| format.html # new.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @phone } end end
def create @phone = Phone.new(params[:phone]) @phone.employee_id = params[:employee_id]
respond_to do |format| if @phone.save flash[:notice] = 'Phone was successfully created.' format.html { redirect_to(@phone) } format.xml { render :xml => @phone, :status => :created, :location => @phone } else format.html { render :action => "new" } format.xml { render :xml => @phone.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end
MODEL:
class Phone < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :phone_types belongs_to :employees
validates_presence_of :number validates_length_of :number, :maximum => 10 validates_numericality_of :number, :message => "Phone number can be only numbers." end
