Take a look at the process method of the newsletter_page model http://github.com/pilu/radiant-newsletter/tree/master/app/models/newsletter_page.rb#L43-81 This big method holds a lot of logic, which is sort of equivalent to what a controller would normally do. The actual validations belong in the newsletter_subscriber model: http://github.com/pilu/radiant-newsletter/tree/master/app/models/newsletter_subscriber.rb and these are triggered when the model is saved. I don't have time to offer any more advice just now, but here is a tip: when your finding your way around someone else's code, the debugger is your friend. Check out this article: http://guides.rails.info/debugging/debugging_rails_applications.html In short: sudo gem install ruby-debug Add this line to your /config/environments/development.rb: require 'ruby-debug' Then insert the line: debugger at the top of the process action. Restart your development environment. Submit the form, and the code should stop at the break point. You can step through the rest of the action line by line, enter 'irb' and examine all the variables in that context, etc. Good luck.
