User defined error message do not work - El Forum - 06-24-2014
[eluser]Zombie1[/eluser]
I'm having some trouble designing my user defined error messages. My 'required' error messages work fine.
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('callback_show_error_message', 'username', 'Username');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required');As you can see the two fields that use 'required' work fine whenever a user leaves a textfield blank an error is displayed.
It's just my own error message that doesn't display. Here's the function:
Code:
function show_error_message()
{
// Display error message.
$this->form_validation->set_message('show_error_message', 'Username or password are incorrect');
return false;
}If anyone has any ideas then please let me know.

I have an idea... Go and read Form Validation and read the section on callbacks.
That will answer your question.

Thanks but I've already read it and copied it but it still doesn't work.

You need to display the validation errors...
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>

Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('callback_show_error_message', 'username', 'Username');try to put your callback right side.
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules( 'username', 'Username', 'callback_show_error_message');hope it works.

That's how it's written in the user guide!
@zombie1.... I'd seriously be reading it again and checking it against what you have written.
