Raul,
I took the validation code for the credit card out of
before_validation_on_create and wrote a separate method for it. and
just called it with
before_validation :normalize_cc_number
This is my custom method:
def normalize_cc_number
self.credit_card = credit_card.gsub(/[^0-9]/, "") if
attribute_present?("credit_card")
end
That did the trick
Thanks heaps for the respond...
