Hi all

I want to check the presence of either one of two fields for instance, phone number or mobile number, if either one presents, allow the submission of the form

validates_presence_of :phone, OR :mobile

any idea how to do it

2

def validate   errors.add(:phone, "can't be blank") if phone.blank? && mobile.blank?   errors.add(:mobile, "can't be blank") if phone.blank? && mobile.blank? end

or some variation of the above
