copied!<p>I see following problems in your code:</p> <p>1) Duplicate presence checks </p> <p>2) Auto and manual geo coding at the same time.</p> <p>Here is a version of your code that might work:</p> <pre><code>class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_mappable acts_as_taggable_on :tags validates_presence_of :name, :tag_list validate :required_info before_save :geocode_paddress private def required_info if( phone.empty? and phone2.empty? and tollfreephone.empty? and mobile.empty? and fax.empty? and email.empty? and website.empty? ) errors.add_to_base "Please have at least one form of contact information." end end def geocode_paddress # if paddress is nil or empty set the old values to nil and return ((self.lat = self.lng = nil); return true) if paddress.empty? g=Geokit::Geocoders::MultiGeocoder.geocode(paddress) (errors.add(:paddress,"Could not Geocode address"); return false) unless g.success self.lat, self.lng = g.lat, g.lng end end </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>The <code>required_info</code> validation fails as the input data submitted by the form contains empty strings for missing fields rather than null values. Hence the <code>phone or phone2 etc.</code> check always returned true. I have changed the validation code to address this edge case. I am quite sure it will work now.</p> <p><strong>PS:</strong> This is a typical scenario where you should be using a debugger. Download and play with any free IDE like Aptana Radrails OR Netbeans. Once you are familiar with the tool you will be able to easily debug such issues.</p>
