I have two issues with trying to customize error messages. I'm using Rails 2.3.4 and Ruby 1.8.7.
The first issue has to do with basic error message interpolation. As an example, I modified my en.yml file and added the following:
en: activerecord: errors: messages: blank: "Please fill in your {{attribute}}"
I have a simple model with a validates_presence_of :name
When I submit a form without filling out name, the error message shows as "Name Please fill in your Name" What am I doing wrong that causes "Name" to show up twice? I feel like I am missing something basic, but looking at the Rails I18n API (Rails Internationalization (I18n) API — Ruby on Rails Guides) hasn't helped.
The second issue has to do with validations for nested attributes.
In my en.yml, I have the following which provides a value for human_name on the class. (I removed the activerecord: errors: messages: blank: code for this example.)
en: activerecord: models: adhoc_filter: "Filter"
In my adhoc_filter child model, I have a validates_presence_of :field
When I submit the form, the error message shows up as "Adhoc filters field can't be blank" instead of "Filter field can't be blank"
I'm not sure if nested attribute errors will work the way I want them to, but it would be nice.
Any advice on one or both of these issues is greatly appreciated.
