Custom Error Message ==================== This plugin gives you the option to not have your custom validation error message prefixed with the attribute name. IMPORTANT NOTE ============== This is a Rails 3 compatible fork of http://github.com/gumayunov/custom-err-msg/tree It IS NOT compatible with Rails 2.x Usage ===== Ordinarily, if you have, say: validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => 'Please accept the terms of service' You'll get the following error message: Accepted terms Please accept the terms of service This plugin allows you to omit the attribute name for specific messages. All you have to do is begin the message with a '^' character. Example: validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => '^Please accept the terms of service' The plugin also lets you use procs instead of strings. Example: validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => Proc.new {|service| "You must accept the terms of the service #{service.name}" } Detail ------ Redefines method: ActiveModel::Errors::full_messages 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 they begin with '^' in which case the attribute name is omitted.
