There really isn't anything to put in :some_other_action - the :on attribute isn't related to the controller action. From the docs: :on - Specifies when this validation is active. Runs in all validation contexts by default (nil), other options are :create and :update. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
