As an aside, there's an even nicer syntax: validates :master_piece, :presence => ture, :if => artist? If "artist" is the name of a boolean column, ActiveRecord provides "artist?" automatically. (Also, is_? style is more prevalent in Java/.NET, but not in Ruby). Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
