Hello,

I am new in ZF and have some question :
I have a form :

Code:

public static function Login()
	{
	 	require_once 'Zend/Form.php';
	 	
	 	$LoginForm = new Zend_Form(
    	array( 
        'method'   => 'post', 
        'elements' => array( 
            'LoginName' => array('text', array( 
                'required' => true, 
                'label' => 'Prisijungimo vardas' 
            )),
            'Pass' => array('text', array( 
                'required' => true, 
                'label' => 'Slaptažodis' 
            )),  
            'submit' => array('submit', array( 
                'label' => 'Prisijungti' 
            )) 
        ), 
    ));
    return $LoginForm; 
	 	
	}

and view

Code:

$form=$this->Login();
    	
    	if ($this->getRequest()->isPost())
    	{   
    		 
    		if ($form->isValid($_POST))
    		{
    			$values = $form->getValues();   
		}
			/*else
			{
				$form->populate($_POST);	
			}*/
			
		}
    	$this->view->form = $form;

Now if textfield are empty write default message.
How can I change this message, without creating a new class who extends Zend_Validate_Abstract?

If I understand you correctly, you want to have a localized error message for your textfield?
If so, you should use Zend_Translate.
This might be of interest for you:

See comment 24-26.

To get the error codes, you can use

Code:

$this->getErrors()

in your view script.

As an alternative to Zend_Translate:

Code:

    $element = new Zend_Form_Element(array(
        'validators' => array(
            array('NotEmpty', false, array(
                'messages' => array('isEmpty' => 'This is a custom message')
            )),
        )
    );

Stolen from:
Nabble - Zend_Form

The i18n-section of the docs (Zend Framework: Documentation)
may help further.
