Rails - Apr 2006 - ActiveRecord subclassing best practises

Hi,

I want some of my models to inherit from a custom ActiveRecord::Base class.
Where is the best place to put this custom subclass?

Actually, I just wanted to translate the default validate message so maybe there
was a better thing to do than subclassing ActiveRecord::Base.

Thanks

Oscar

Oscar,

You can supply a custom message to the validates_* methods.

See: 
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods.html

e.g.

validates_length_of :last_name, :maximum=>30, :message=>"less than %d
if
you don''t mind"
