Zend Form - Custom Errors ... how?

greboguru · #1 (**permalink**) 02-11-2008, 02:23 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to add a custom error message to my form defintion, but all I'm getting are the default messages.

My definition ..

Code:

 
   var $form = array(
       'action'   => '/myswr/site/admin/login',
       'method'   => 'post',
       'elements' => array(
           'username' => array('text', array(
               'validators' => array(
                   array('alnum', array('message' => '%s must be alphanumeric!')),
                   array('regex', false, array('/^[a-z]/i')),
                   array('stringLength', false, array(3, 20,
                                          'message' => array(
                                          	Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_SHORT => '%s must be at least %min% characters.',
                                          	Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_LONG => '%s must be shorter than %max% characters.'))
                   )
               ),
               'required' => true,
               'filters'  => array('StringToLower')
           )),
           'password' => array('password', array(
               'validators' => array(
                   array('stringLength', false, array(3))
               ),
               'required' => true,
           )),
           'submit' => 'submit',
       ),
   );

Where am I going wrong? I've seen examples on how do this 'long hand' but I can't seem to get the above to work ?

Thanks!

[Yet again I seem to be responding too my own posts .. is there anybody out there?]

One solution to the above is ...

Code:

 
class LoginForm extends Zend_Form
{
   var $form = array(
       'action'   => 'login',
       'method'   => 'post',
       'elements' => array(
           'username' => array('text', array(
               'validators' => array(
                   array('alnum', false),
                   array('regex', false, array('/^[a-z]/i')),
                   array('stringLength', false, array(6, 20))
               ),
               'required' => true,
               'filters'  => array('StringToLower')
        ...
      );

  function __construct() 
  {
      parent::__construct($this->form);
      
      $el = $this->getElement('username');
      
      $val = $el->getValidator('alnum');
      $val->setMessage("custom message for alnum", Zend_Validate_Alnum::NOT_ALNUM);
      
      $val = $el->getValidator('stringLength');
      $val->setMessage("The user name is too short", Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_SHORT);
      $val->setMessage("The user name is too long", Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_LONG);
      ...
  } 
}

Is there a better way?

Thanks

Actually i am using combined config files and translation files.

                                          	Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_LONG => '%s must be shorter than %max% characters.'))
                   )
               ),
               'required' => true,
               'filters'  => array('StringToLower')
           )),
           'password' => array('password', array(
               'validators' => array(
                   array('stringLength', false, array(3))
               ),
               'required' => true,
           )),
           'submit' => 'submit',
       ),
   );

I think the array key for custom validation messages is not 'message' but rather 'messages'
