making your own FormBuilder

Hey all

So I can follow this and make my own form helpers by extending FormBuilder ...http://www.sepcot.com/blog/2008/05/Accessible-Field- Errors

Also in that tutorial it shows how to redefine "field_error_proc"

My question is ..... is it possible to define the "field_error_proc" method JUST for your own version of the ForumBuilder?

Or maybe, inside the field_error_proc method, I could test to see what class of FormBuilder is being used, and then decide on the behavior? (super as the default?)

thanks for any suggestions! :slight_smile:

I could easily do this:

   ActionView::Base.field_error_proc = Proc.new { |html_tag, instance|      html_tag    }

But that kills the default functionality for ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder

Struggling to find some logic to test whether the call to field_error_proc is coming from the base ForumBuilder or the extended version.... since I'd like the leave the default one alone
