I''ve got two controllers, let''s call one Post and the other Comment for simplicity, i.e.: class Post < ApplicationController def show ... end end class Comment < ApplicationController def create @comment ... end end In my create() method I would like to redirect back to the show method after I have saved the comment. But If I have errors in saving the comment, how am I to display this with error_messages_for in my template? I would still like to redirect in this case, and not just display the template in create(). Is there someway to pass the error messages for @comment back to show method? Or to pass the @comment variable back to the show method? Calling render :action => show from the create method also does not seem to solve this problem. Any sugguestions? Appreciating all the help. Thanks so much, Scott Taylor
