No method error

[badnaam]

This is what I have in my model.

validates_datetime :event_date, :on_or_after => Time.now, :on_or_before_message => "Event date/time must be in the future."

I am on rails 2.3.5 and I see this error

undefined method `validates_datetime' for #Class:0x7f55bbf394c8

have you added the config.gem "validates_timeliness" in your environment.rb?

BTW you will want to put the Time.now in a lambda { } otherwise the time value with remain static while the app is running.

I am using it as a plugin and I had to restart webrick(doh!). Thanks for the suggestion regarding lambda. Great plugin!!
