Hi ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper methods (e.g. #text_field, #check_box...) take object_name as an argument. From this argument they infer a name that is supposed to contains the reference to the relevant object. I can''t see why the FormHelper methods were designed that way. Compared to simply passing them a reference, the current way seems too complicated and an invitation to p...

...FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the FormHelper methods. As error_wrapping is a method in InstanceTag (and not of FormHelper), it is pretty hard to have a FormBuilder change its behaviour. One possibility is to define def initialize(object_name, object, template, options, proc) ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = lambda do |html_tag, instance| html_tag end super(object_name, object, template, options, proc) end which works, but i consi...

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts
