Custom Err Msg

Custom Error Message

This plugin gives you the option to not have your custom validation error message prefixed with the attribute name. 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'

Detail

Redefines 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 they begin with ’^’ in which case the attribute name is omitted.
