Hi Jim,Unfortunately, validations aren't magically overridden by Desert the
way methods are. To override validations, put some custom logic in an
after_validation filter, and/or implement the 'validate' method i.e.:
class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base
after_validation :custom_validations
... stuff ...
def custom_validations
self.errors.remove(:user) #you don't want to validate user
end
def validate
errors.add("name", "must not be blank") if name.blank? #you want to
require the name attribute
end
end
That errrors.remove method is a hack (put this in an initializer):
module ActiveRecord
class Errors
#removes all errors on the given attribute
def remove(attribute)
@errors.delete(attribute.to_s)
end
end
end
Good luck!
