For example: validates_presence_of :name, :message => "can''t be blank." ...generates the message "Name can''t be blank". This grammar

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 all, I have a few questions regarding the error messages which are produced by default. For example, if I have "validates_uniqueness_of" I may get an error message "Surname has already been taken'' What if I want a custom message without prefixing the attribute name?
