Form validation

Rails
1

Hello all

i have a registration form. i am validating say, password field using

validates_presence_of :password, :if => :password_required?
validates_presence_of :password_confirmation, :if
=> :password_required?
validates_length_of :password, :within => 4…40, :if
=> :password_required?
validates_confirmation_of :password, :if => :password_required?

now in my form while submitting, if i wont put password i got 4 error
messages:

password is required
password length should be min 4 chars. and so on

my question is, Is there a way to customize these error messages? all
i need is just one error message per field.

any suggestion?

thanks in advance.

You should use the :unless option of the validates method in
“validates_length_of :password”. This option specifies a method to call
to determine if the validation should not occur.

validates_length_of :password, :unless => Proc.new{|o|
o.password.blank?}
