Hey, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm also in a situation where I want this, which is that when my controller actions are being used as an API, I'd like to return the error "types" (e.g. :invalid, :blank) instead of error strings. But as I was writing this, I just thought of a possible solution: internationalization! What if I create an api.yml language file, and then specify whatever I want for the translation. I could even use integer codes if I wanted. Will that work for you? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
