Help w/ errors.add_to_base between controller and model

Hello,

I'm having trouble in routing some errors between model and
controller. The errors produced in the controller
(invite_controller.rb) are collected and spit out nicely in a
flash[:validate] method as such:

if errors.size > 0
   flash[:validation] = errors.join('<br />')
end

Errors produced in the model (invite.rb) are displayed w/in a giant page
failure explosion and are not routed into the flash[:validate] method.

The code for the the method is as follows:

self.errors.add_to_base("an invitation has already been sent to
#{email}")

Is there a way where I can route the model errors to the
flash[:validate] method as I am in the controller?

Thanks for your help!

The errors for your model objects will be available via the objects that they were added too.

So, in your controller code, if you have a model object called "invitation", and you try to save it but get validation errors, then you can retrieve the errors by doing something like

invitation.errors.full_messages.join(", ")

See ActiveRecord::Errors for more.

Does that help?
