How do you format submit errors in Form Builder?

[harleyquinn]

Using Form Builder 0.3 and was wondering how to format the errors that output when a user doesn't fill out the form correctly? Do I need to create a UDT and attach it to OnFormBuilderFormSubmitError under Extensions > Events?

Has anyone else been able to format the errors, and if so, how did you do it?

Thanks in advance,

Ok I almost have it, but not quite there. I found which file to modify by reading the feature requests in the Forge. In form.class.php, look for this line:

Code: Select all

$message .= "<h4>".$this->module_ptr->Lang('please_enter_a_value',$this->Fields[$i]->GetName())."</h4>\n";

I tried to replace it with this:

Code: Select all

$message .= "<div id='form_errors'><p>Error(s)!</p><ul><li>".$this->module_ptr->Lang('please_enter_a_value',$this->Fields[$i]->GetName())."</li></ul></div>";

but it outputs like this:

Code: Select all

<div id='form_errors'><p>Error(s)!</p><ul><li>Please enter a value for "Name"</li></ul></div>
<div id='form_errors'><p>Error(s)!</p><ul><li>Please enter a value for "Email"</li></ul></div>
<div id='form_errors'><p>Error(s)!</p><ul><li>Please enter a value for "Subject"</li></ul></div>
<div id='form_errors'><p>Error(s)!</p><ul><li>Please enter a value for "Feedback"</li></ul></div>

and looks like this:
Error(s)!
Please enter a value for "Name"
Error(s)!
Please enter a value for "Email"
Error(s)!
Please enter a value for "Subject"
Error(s)!
Please enter a value for "Feedback"

Not quite what I was looking for.

What I want it to output is:

Code: Select all

<div id="form_errors">
<p>Error(s)!</p>
	<ul>
		<li>Please enter a value for "Name"</li>
		<li>Please enter a value for "Email"</li>
		<li>Please enter a value for "Subject"</li>
		<li>Please enter a value for "Feedback"</li>
	</ul>
</div>

and to look like this on the form page:
Error(s)!
Please enter a value for "Name"
Please enter a value for "Email"
Please enter a value for "Subject"
Please enter a value for "Feedback"

What should I change in the code to get it to do this? Anyone?
