This plugin gives you the option to not have your custom validation error message prefixed with the attribute name.
Custom Error Message is Rails 3 and Ruby 1.9 compatible
Sometimes generated error messages don't make sense.
validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => 'Please accept the terms of service'
This generates the error message:
Accepted terms Please accept the terms of service
This plugin uses the carat (^) to omit the name of the attribute from error messages:
validates_acceptance_of :accepted_terms, :message => '^Please accept the terms of service'
This now generates:
Please accept the terms of service
