When using the :message symbol in a validation check in one of my models, how do you get that message back to the view to be displayed? For exmaple: validates_uniqueness_of :card_num, :scope => [:issuing_company, :user_id], :message => ''Duplicate Card Infmroation Entered'' I would like that error message to be displayed in a div in my app. Thanks, -S -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The simplest way (but also the least customizable) is to add <%error_messages_for ''objectname'' %> within your view. In your action you need to stick something like render :action => ''pagename'' in your controller, where ''pagename'' corresponds to the view containing the error message helper. If/when you need to tweak things slightly, try something like <% unless @post.errors.empty? %> The post couldn''t be saved due to these errors: <ul> <% @post.errors.each_full do |message| %> <li><%= message %></li> <% end %> </ul> <% end %> in your view- more on this <a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/ pages/HowtoValidate" title="here">here</a>. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
