Rails Hackfest August-07
I participated in August Rails Hackfest which was a great experience.
You can see the missing August 2007 from the Post Archives. I didn’t post anything last month as I was busy in submitting rails patches. I submitted a lot of patches out of which I got one patch committed to the rails code under changeset 7362 which was about optimizing the code of ActiveRecord Validation validates_presence_of filed under the ticket 9392. Me and kampers got a collaborated patch accepted under the changeset 7383 which was a tiny patch for improving documentation of Action Controller filed under the ticket 9454. Many of my patches got rejected as well by the more experienced Rails Contributors but still, many patches are there to be analyzed by the Rails Core Team.

Plugin: Validate Attributes - validate one or more specific attributes
Hi all,
I found an answer(a tweak) to the question which was pinging my mind while working on my current project that How to validate one or more specific attribute of the model(field of the table i mean)?, as the requirement was to save a record after validating the model’s object through 4 steps ie. 4 different forms. Although i found something in the Rails API to put some step constraints on the validations in the model, but i didn’t find it that much flexible so i wrote a snippet which validates one or more specific attributes and can also save the record on the basis of validating specific attributes. Then i thought to pluginize it, as it might be usefulRead more
