[Rails] Re: Re: How To Validate Boolean Form Field

[Nithin Reddy]

You got me curious about this, so I did some more investigating. It
seems that the behavior is broken, but you can fix it by doing
something like this:

class Individual < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_acceptance_of :toc, :message => "You must accept this
before proceeding"

  def validate
    errors.add(:toc, "You must accept this before proceeding") if self.toc.nil?
  end
end
