Full message for error_messages_for
I found this somewhere while looking around for the easiest way to provide my own full message for the rails error_messages_for output.
Basically what we are going to do here is provide a humanized string for a variable of the model, and when the error message is printed out, it will display that message. This give more control instead of just having “Email is required.”
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base HUMANIZED_ATTRIBUTES = { :name => "Please provide a name for this person.", :email => "You must specify an email address." } def self.human_attribute_name(attr) HUMANIZED_ATTRIBUTES[attr.to_sym] || super end validates_presence_of :name, :message=>'' validates_presence_of :email, :message=>'' end
thank you!!!
