smarty templates with form validation - El Forum - 07-10-2010
[eluser]prestondocks[/eluser]
Hi,
I am struggling with using form validation and smarty. I have read a forum topic where two people said it was possible and required assigning the validation object to a smarty variable.
I am however struggling with how to do this.
Could someone provide me with some help.
Thanks
Simon

Why would you want to do that?
Validation is done after the post of a form, in the controller, outside Smarty.

What I was looking for was getting the result of the validation into a smarty variable. I have managed to get the validation_string into a variable but I don't know how access the validation object so that I can get field specific errors.

Two options:
assign the validation result to a smarty template variable before loading the template, or create a smarty function that accesses the form validation library.
