    <p>I have what seems to be a non-standard signup process:</p> <p>[welcome! enter your email and password] => [cool, enter a lot more information] => [registered]</p> <p>I'm having trouble getting rails to recognize that I want to validate only the email and password on page 1, and all the other stuff on page 2. </p> <p>When the user hits the site, they see my welcome page:</p> <pre><code>class WelcomeController &lt; ApplicationController def index @user = User.new end end &lt;%= form_for(@user) do %&gt; &lt;div class="formItem"&gt; &lt;%= label_tag(:email, "Your email address:") %&gt; &lt;%= text_field(:user, :email) %&gt; &lt;br clear="all" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="formItem"&gt; &lt;%= label_tag(:password, "Select a password:") %&gt; &lt;%= password_field_tag(:password) %&gt; &lt;br clear="all" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;%= submit_tag("Sign up today - it's free and easy!", :class =&gt; "submitForm") %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>=</p> <pre><code>class UsersController &lt; ApplicationController def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) if @user.save redirect_to(edit_user_path(@user, :noticeHeader =&gt; true ), :notice =&gt; 'Please take a minute and answer these additional questions.') else render :action =&gt; "welcome/index" end end </code></pre> <p>=</p> <p>Once they click Sign Up, they see my next page of form fields.</p> <p>The problem I'm running into is that I validates_presence_of fields that are on both pages, in the user model. Since these fields aren't on the welcome page, I get a "<strong>undefined local variable or method</strong>" error upon submitting the welcome page. For example, I <strong>validates_presence_of :title</strong> because I want title to be required, but it's only listed on page 2, so page 1 doesn't validate properly. </p> <p>Thoughts on how to handle this?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
