Can you post your before_validation code?
What actually blows up? Can you also post the relevant lines from the
log?

I am having this same problem. It seems the before_validation isn't
working in mine:
before_validation :normalize_phone_number
validates_format_of :number, :with => /^[0-9]{10,15}$/
protected
def normalize_phone_number
self.number.gsub(/-/,"").gsub(/ /,"")
end
The object won't save since it fails the validates_format_of since it
never runs the before_validation. I'm running Rails 2.1.0.
Any ideas?
I just figured out what I was doing wrong.
I was using "gsub" instead of "gsub!"
now it is working fine
I'm having the same problem. I want to allow people to enter a value
including a $ or £. With this method, the value of the attribute in
before_validation is zero if I enter a value with text (or a $) at the
start.
So entering $1000 is turned into 0, before before_validation.
Any ideas?
