Hey there folks I’ve just released my first plugin. It enhances the  
built in error\_messages\_for helper to do a bunch of really useful things  
like, handling an array of AR objects, rendering a partial, and much  
much more.

The plug can be found at:  
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/railserrorsfor

Documentation can be found at:  
[http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/2392/544/README](http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/2392/544/README)

It’s RubyForge home is at:  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/railserrorsfor/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/railserrorsfor/)

I hope this can help everyone. Let me know if any one has issues.

Enjoy.

This is awesome, thank you.

Clean code.

Two things:

1. you still have .svn folders in the release.

2. I had to change line 38 in error\_messages.rb from:  
app\_errors \<\< “#{object.business\_name}  
#{key.to\_h.downcase}  
#{value}”  
to:  
app\_errors \<\< “#{object.business\_name}  
#{key.to\_s.humanize}  
#{value}”  
to make it work for me.

Great stuff, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up Robert. I’ve patched it, and release 1.0.2 is  
now up.
