Great job, thanks for sharing it.
Can you write a detailed way to install the plugin ?
You began the “usage” section with “Once you install this…”, but the newbies (like me) be one basic step behing….The installation of the helper method.
Thanks in advance…

Hi,

installed message_block and tried it. Currently it throws the following error:
“undefined method `errors’ for #”

What I did:
1. Installed it via environment.rb
2. Added into my app/view/layout/application.html.erb, besides the link to the message_block.css:
[:foos] %>
3. In app/controllers/foos_controller.rb
def startup
flash.now[:confirm] = “Confirmation A” # for testing
end
4. run the server and launched the application, which resulted in the described error.

Any idea?

Cheers — jerik

Thank you very much for this plugin. Is there any way to add the error header messages like the standard error_messages_for method? I couldn’t find a way, so at the moment I’m just checking for errors.empty? in the model objects I’m validating, and then placing the headers before message_block – that’s fine but seems a little clumsy!
