Custom error message when destroying

[Doug]

Hi

I have some rules that require validation before a record gets
destroyed. I'm currently using before_destroy in the model, and can
prevent the destroy if necessary through returning false or raising an
exception.

AS, however, always displays the following warning "XYZ can't be
destroyed". How do I ask AS to display a custom error message (e.g.
"XYZ can't be destroy because of ABC"), in a similar way to
errors.add_to_base(...) when using validate for create/update, but
rather for destroy?

Thanks.

You can override do_destroy with:
def do_destroy
destroy_find_record
begin
self.successful = @record.destroy
rescue Exception => ex
flash[:warning] = your_custom_message
self.successful = false
end
end
