Why aren't you doing:
@user = User.find(params[:id])
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
===
<h1>Edit User</h1>
<%= form_for(@user) do |f| %>
<% render 'shared/error_messages', :object => f.object %>
<div>
<div><%= f.label :first_name %></div>
<div><%= f.text_field :first_name %></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><%= f.label :last_name %></div>
<div><%= f.text_field :last_name %></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><%= f.label :email %></div>
<div><%= f.text_field :email %></div>
</div>
<div><%= f.submit "Update" %></div>
<% end %>
=======
def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
flash[:success] = "Profile Updated"
redirect_to @user
else
@title = 'Edit User'
render 'edit'
end
end
===app/views/shared/_error_messages:
<% if object.errors.any? %>
<div id="error_explanation">
<h2><%= pluralize(object.errors.count, 'error') %>
prohibited your account from being created!</h2>
<p>There were problems with the following fields:</p>
<ul>
<% object.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
