similar to: How to override generated in validation html code?

Hi, i have some issues with the default rails error wrapping. It wraps errors in a div with class ''fieldsWithError'', which is not good practice in my eyes. Adding a class ''error'' to the field would be much nicer. My solution to the problem: build your own FormBuilder. Funny enough, i found no (nice) possibility to switch error wrapping off while using the

Does anyone know how to override the <div class="fieldWithErrors"> behaviour when a form field is incorrect? Thanks, Dan

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

I just put this up on the wiki, and thought I''d share in case it''s useful to anyone else. This is handy if you don?t want to wrap your input elements inside a div when an error occurs, but instead want to add some sort of CSS style to fields with errors: ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new do |html_tag, instance| msg = instance.error_message error_style =

If a model doesn''t pass validation the field in the view is put under a <div class="field_with_errors">. But who create that div? field_text helper do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to

Hi! The topic can be a bit misleading, because it may suggest that i want to change css style. What i''d like to change is that normally, when there''s an error, rails creates a div element with the fieldWithErrors class as the parent of the input. I''d like to change this behavior, so the input element itself will have this class added to its current classes and

In my User form I have standard field to get user record attributes (first_name, last_name and email) I also have a select drop_down to choose a role from an array first_name, last_name and email are user record attributes, but I defined the role name as a virtual attribute validates_presence_of :email, :last_name attr_accessor :role_name validates_presence_of :role_name, :if =>

Is there a way to get rid of the divs around an error field. These divs are causing me headaches. Any suggestions :-)?

Hello all I would like to overload the error_message_on method in the ActiveRecordHelper module in order to emit a span tag instead of a div tag. I try to achieve this by way of plugins: Under vendor/plugins I''ve made a error_messages_on_fix directory, containing init.rb like this: --- require ''active_record_helper_fix'' --- ..and a lib directory with

in testing my app I just use the validations validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email validates_presence_of :academy, :message => "You must select an Academy" validates_presence_of :role, :message => "You must select a role" standard error_messages are fine for most of my fields , resulting in : 5 errors prohibited this data from being saved There

Hi all. I have an attribute, job_role_id_short, that is being set in a form. This field has a custom validation on it, which does this if it fails: self.errors.add(:job_role_id_short, "cannot be blank") I want to add the error onto the attribute, so that the form builder will wrap the field in a fieldWithErrors div. However, the error it generates says "Job Role Short cannot

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

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

Leaving the body of the method the same as the default still throws the "stack level too deep" error. As a matter of fact, it only disappears if I comment out the ''require'' in line 1. As it turned out, it was the method definiton itself that caused problems. Ruby doesn''t have keyword arguments, but I tried calling the method as if it had. But when I changed

I have a problem with translation of english phrase when an input error occurs. When I put: error_messages_for("registratie") above my view. I get the error: "xx errors prohibited this registratie from being saved". The problem now is, the site is for dutch customers and I would like to translate this to a dutch phrase. I know I can translate the individual fields with the

I wrote the following code in my form view : <li><label for="email">Email</label> <%= form.text_field :email, :size => "30" %> <span id=''email_error'' class=\''warning-text warning-text-indent\''><%= @user.errors.on(:email) %></span></li> the generated html code is the following : <span

In iteration D.1 on page 109 I am not getting a styled error message box displayed at the top of the checkout as described in the tutorial and I cannot seem to discover where I have erred. The scaffold.css is copied from the pragmatic programmers site: #-------------------------------------------------------------------- $ cat public/stylesheets/scaffold.css body { background-color: #fff;

Hi, I''m trying to "validate" the input provided in the login form to see if "username" is entered or not? How do i do this ? In the model i have done like this validates_presence_of username, :body, :message => "Missing required field" But I''m not this message (Missing required field ) getting printed at all? How do i print this? Do i need

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

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.
