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

Greetings, I''m in the throws of deploying an app on site5, and I''m getting strange errors. I think I might need to understand how error_messages_for works. I get a pretty standard looking error: " You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occured while evaluating nil.errors Extracted

Hi Facebookers, Is there a helper or suggested approach for presenting validation errors on an fbml form? Something to translate rails error markup to fbml:error markup? thanks Joel

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

hi, how can i override rails errors mesages (that are in english) to display them in an other language? thanks hangon

Hi, I think the columns and table in migration should be able to have an optional "display_name" set manually. Something like: create_table :people, {display_name => "Personne"} do |t| t.column :first_name :string, :display_name => "Prénom". end Let me explain my point of view: Rails is a framework made to write programs in English. You see it when you

Hi, I''m trying to save multiple records of the same model in one go. Which is no problem at all. Problem starts when I want to introduce error handling. The problem is that no record should be saved when one of the records contains an error. I tried it as follows: session[:infos].each do |info| @quest.name = info["name"] unless @quest.valid? @errors_found = true

I cannot work out why this error is appearing. ActionView::TemplateError (can''t convert ActiveRecord::Error into String) on line #3 of app/views/button/_show_enquiry.html.erb: 1: <h1>Send us a message</h1> 2: <% remote_form_for :enquiry, :url => {:action => ''send_mail''} do | f| %> 3: <%= error_messages_for ''enquiry'',

ActiveRecord validation messages are currently not I18N-friendly. Specifically, I''m referring to the fact that it enforces a certain grammar, namely the beginning of the message must consist of the field name. For example: validates_presence_of :name, :message => "can''t be blank." ...generates the message "Name can''t be blank". This grammar

Hi! Is there a (simple) way to use alternative field names in validation messages? For example, if I have a validator like this one: validates_presence_of :email how can I make it print a message like "E-Mail Address can''t be blank" instead of "Email can''t be blank"? I can override the "can''t be blank" part by using the :message

validates_presence_of :fname results in the error message "Fname can''t be blank". What I want is "First Name can''t be blank". I could do this def validate errors.add_to_base("First Name can''t be blank") if fname.blank? end I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method. Is there an easy to get what I want. I

Hi, i have a validates_something_of_something method in my User model...i added a :message => "you need to abcd" to the validation method, but when i try to access it through the <%= error_messages_for "user" %> it doesn''t give me any output... i was wondering whether there was a way to access all of the (:message => string) methods that are collected

Hello, I started to use rails few weeks ago, and I have got basic question about it. 1. There is a way to keep my form filled, after submit it (for example if I get errors) ? 2.
