Customizing field_with_errors

Question

Is there a way to tell Rails to not create div.field_with_errors around both label and actually field, but to create div.error around them both?

E.g. snippet from my view with the form (written in HAML)

= form_for @user do |f|
  %div.clearfix
    = f.label :name
    %div.input
      = f.text_field :name

I want in the case of error the root div to be div.clearfix.error and avoid that field_with_errors. Can I do so?

As another option, can I make formtastic to create Bootstrap-styled elements, w/o formtastic's css and html classes, but with bootstrap's ones. Can I make something with error fields in the case of using formtastic?

@flowdelic's answer seems to be the simplest fix. However, the names are incorrect. This may be due to the Rails/Bootstrap version, but this works for me.

/* Rails scaffold style compatibility */
#error_explanation {
  @extend .alert;
  @extend .alert-error;
  @extend .alert-block; /* optional */
}

.field_with_errors {
  @extend .control-group.error
}
