Colin (and Sami)
Indeed, your link is relevant as I use the
http://rubyforge.org/projects/custom-err-msg/
plugin to over-ride the error messages. I notice that it hasn't
changed since early January this year so is it a 2.3.4 update to
Active Record that is causing some sort of compatability problem? The
plugin code is below. Any ideas? The model which is doing the
validation is below too.
module ActiveRecord
class Errors
# Redefine the ActiveRecord::Errors::full_messages method:
# Returns all the full error messages in an array. 'Base'
messages are handled as usual.
# Non-base messages are prefixed with the attribute name as usual
UNLESS
# (1) they begin with '^' in which case the attribute name is
omitted.
# E.g. validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message =>
'^Please accept the terms of service'
# (2) the message is a proc, in which case the proc is invoked on
the model object.
# E.g. validates_presence_of :assessment_answer_option_id,
# :message => Proc.new { |aa| "#{aa.label} (#{aa.group_label})
is required" }
# which gives an error message like:
# Rate (Accuracy) is required
def full_messages
full_messages = []
@errors.each_key do |attr|
@errors[attr].each do |msg|
next if msg.nil?
if attr == "base"
full_messages << msg
elsif msg =~ /^\^/
full_messages << msg[1..-1]
elsif msg.is_a? Proc
full_messages << msg.call(@base)
else
full_messages << @base.class.human_attribute_name(attr) +
" " + msg
end
end
end
return full_messages
end
end
end
class Enquiry < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :name, :email, :subject, :message
validate :validate_email
def name
firstname && lastname ? [firstname, lastname].join(' ') : ''
end
def name=(n)
split = n.split(' ', 2)
self.firstname = split.first
self.lastname = split.last
end
protected
def validate_email
address = EmailVeracity::Address.new(email)
errors.add(:email, "^We suspect that the email address #{email} is
incorrect.") unless address.valid?
end
end
Beer o'clock in the UK.
