Form Builder error messages

[gdinfo]

Hi,
is there a way to avoid Form Builder validation to present errors in at the beginning of the form?
Where can I found the error/messages presentation code?

This is the HTML generated code for error messages:


Please enter a value for "Message"
Please enter a value for "Company"
Please enter a value for "Person"
Please enter a value for "Email"

I tried to put a CSS display: none; in the h4 tag and it work fine but I would prefer to comment the code

Thanks.

the proper solution is to style the output.

why not just mark the fields as not required in your form if you're not concerned about the errors.

I would like to face with the standard mark ( <--- ) without the message.

Thanks.

You're right, the way that the output message is handled is kind of ugly
What your looking for is in the validate method of Form.class.php

Thanks.

did you manage to sort this problem?

I too am having this issue.

I did remove the second error message (with the form builder)

Look for this line:

Code: Select all

{if $entry->valid == 0} <--- {$entry->error}{/if}

So just remove the  {$entry->error} part if you don't want the error message to show.

cheers dinot that did the trick!

I didn't even try to look for the ascii eqivallent of that < shhheessh.

Also for anyone else having similar problem I

changed this --

Code: Select all

{if $entry->valid == 0} <--- {$entry->error}{/if}

to

Code: Select all

{if $entry->valid == 0} <span class="validation">*required field</span> {/if}

which I can now control much easier. I also plan to replace the asterix with a small star image for more accessibility options.

cheerss!
