Rails - Aug 2006 - Override flash message - help

How can I modify the flash message that is displayed on a validates_* 
check? I used the :message => "" parameter, but it still gives me
an
annoying "Test : Please ensure you have entered the test message". I 
wanted to get rid of the "Test: " and the above "6 errors
prohibited
this table from being saved" I looked at the source of 
validates_presence_of and I only found the :message, nothing else to 
help me validate. Can someone help me?

Try overriding error_messages_for().  Here is an example that may work for you.

      def error_messages_for(object_name)
        if object_name == :page && !flash[:error].nil?
          return content_tag(:div, content_tag(:ul, content_tag(:li,
flash[:error])), :class => "flash error")
        end
        object = assigns["#{object_name.to_s}"]
        if object && !object.errors.empty?
        content_tag(:div,
                    content_tag(:ul, object.errors.collect {
|attribute, msg| content_tag(:li, msg) }),
                    :class => "flash error")
        else
          ''''
        end
      end

Hope this helps,
Zack
