I have a User Group table with a group_name value that is entered when the
group is created. If there is a space in the group name, for example "The A
Team", the group name is still created, but it is not assigned to the
current user, and it throws the error message in my if/else statement in
the controller. Code is as follows:
Controller:
def create
@group = current_user.create_user_group(group_params)
current_user.user_group = @group
current_user.save
if @group.valid?
redirect_to '/user_groups/'[email protected]_name, :notice => "Your group
has been created"
else
redirect_to '/user_groups/', :error => "Error: group name may already
be taken. Search, or try a new name."
endend
Model
class UserGroup < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :users
has_secure_password
validates :password, :presence => true
validates :group_name, :presence => true, :uniqueness => true
before_validation :strip_blanks
def strip_blanks
self.group_name = self.group_name.stripend
Create form:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="Group Name">Enter group name</label>
<%= f.input :group_name, :required => true, :autofocus => true, :maxlength
=> 40, :input_html => { :class => "form-control" }, :label => false,
:placeholder => "Group name" %></div><div class="form-group">
<label for="Password">Password</label>
<%= f.input :password, :required => true, :autofocus => true, :maxlength =>
40, :input_html => { :class => "form-control" }, :label => false, :placeholder
=> "Group password" %></div>
<%= f.button :submit, :class => "btn btn-md btn-warning" %></div>
