Rails - May 2006 - Merging Error Messages

How do i merge error messages for two models on the same form? In the 
end, i will have one error box with all the errors in it instead of two.

Thx,

Andy.

Hey there Andy.

I too would like to merge multiple model "errors".  Errors seems to  
be using the Enumerable mixin, but at this stage nubiness I''m not  
sure how to merge (enumerable doesn''t have a merge method).

Any rubyists out there can help with this? (good did prove fruitless).

There''s no easy solution for this, but the easiest workaround
I''ve found
is using @model.errors.full_messages to get the error array, and then 
displaying it how you want. You can''t use the
"error_messages_for"
statement, but honestly its not that hard to code your own error box. 
That should get you the level of control you''re looking for.
