validating message

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi all,

I'm new here. However, I'm so happy because I got Ruby on Rails to work on my host. Now there's just a problem with displaying validation error message ,

in my view i have used the form_tag code is as follow

<% form_tag 'create', :multipart => true do %>

<%= error_messages_for :content_masters %> <p>     <%= label_tag :title %>     <%= text_field_tag :title %>   </p>

content_masters is my controller name ..

in my model m using

  validates_presence_of(:title, :message => "message")

the validation message is not coming ..

I hope you want to help me.

Thanks

Hi Rahul,

The symbol (:content_masters) in error_messages_for should be the name of a variable, so if you wanted to display error messages for at variable called @user, you’d call it like this:

<%= error_messages_for ‘user’ %>

Please also see http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html#M001694.

Hi,

I think you should use error_message_on(object, method) if you want to show the error of one specified field, like ‘title’, ‘description’

and use error_messages_for(object) if you want to show all the validation errors in this object

Have a look at the rails guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/. The getting started guide shows how to use form_for, which is better than form_for in most cases, and includes display of error messages. Also the guide on debugging shows ways of debugging your app if it is not performing as expected. The other guides should be read also.
