Unable to Access an Error Message Corresponding to Your Field Name - El Forum - 04-18-2010

Hi,
I've created this registration form (see attached) that registers new users and checks whether their user name already exists in the database.
The problem is, instead of displaying the error message I wrote, it displays this error message:
Quote:Unable to access an error message corresponding to your field name
How do I correct this? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I figured out what the problem was: my message key did not match my function name: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/validation.html

This is your code:
Code:
function username_not_exists($username)
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('username','That %s already exists. Please choose a different username and try again');
if($this->User_model->check_exists_username($username))
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}try editing your above code with this below:
Code:
function username_not_exists($username)
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('username_not_exists','That %s already exists. Please choose a different username and try again');
if($this->User_model->check_exists_username($username))
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}Notice the $this->form_validation->set_message(), instead of 'username', we change the first parameter with the 'username_not_exists' which is the name of your call back method.
