similar to: error_messages_for - Custom formating

Been playing with merb. One of the helpers I liked in rails was on form validations. Found this was real easy to port over, so I thought I''d share. It doesn''t highlight the field with the error, but it gives that same nice little div on top. Say I had an articles controller def create @article = Article.new(params[:article]) @article.save! redirect

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.

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 guys, I just upgraded to the latest version of Rails 1.1 and am getting some odd error messages. Specifically, I have the line: <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %> at the top of one of my .rhtml files and of course a variable @user. When an error occurs when saving ''user'', instead of getting the error message (which happened fine in Rails 1.0), I now

Hi, I would like to ask how to override validation functionality in RoR? In active_record_helper.rb class there is "hardcoded" default html generated durning validation.

Hi, I wonder why error_messages_for take strings as params instead of instance variables. error_messages_for ''user'' instead of error_messages_for @user ''user'' is translated into @user eventually. If so, who not take the instance variables directly? Is there any reason for that? Thanks in advance. Sam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, just a simple question between error_message_on / error_messages_for ... Well, if you use error_messages_for in your web page, there is no problem even if anObject==nil (for example , the first time you load your form) whereas error_message_on must be use with an instanciated object ... So, you always has to double check if anObject is not nil before using error_message_on ? I
