If / Else Form layout question.
Hello all, I''m using the following _form.rhtml layout for a number of pages, including edit record and new record (which each has it''s own definition in the controller). I''d like to display a different author form field depending on which page they are using. I''d rather keep using _form.rhtml as a layout template, instead of customizing each separate page.

So now, no more of this: Topic.find(1, :conditions => [:author_name = ? and :title = ?, @author.name, ''AWWR'']) but simply Topic.find(1, :conditions => { :author_name => "David", :title => "AWWR" } will do just fine. That''s so much better on my eyes, thanks again Hampton. Also Jamis makes sure Named Routes...

Now if a validation goes wrong, I would like the message to say: "Name of author can''t be blank" as opposed to "author name can''t be blank". I have tried looking into the Rails Guides for I18n #5 but it seems error.full_messages does not call human...
