Issue - Form_Validation > Setting Error Messages > set_rule() - Porto - 02-19-2019
Hi Guys,
Could someone please give a Light what's going wrong here please?
I try to set a custom error message for a particular field on some particular rule, but when i call the rule, i still see the native error messages from the file system/language/english/form_validation_lang.php.
I've checked other Posts from another users, but i didn't find the correct answer for that. I try to do exactly what the documentation says, but till now it doesn't work.
Documentation:
https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/libraries/form_validation.html#setting-error-messages
"If you need to set a custom error message for a particular field on some particular rule, use the set_rules() method:"
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('field_name', 'Field Label', 'rule1|rule2|rule3', array('rule2' => 'Error Message on rule2 for this field_name'));This is my Post Method.
Code:
// CREATE NEW POST FORM
public function create()
{
//******* THE FUNCTIONS MUST BE LOADED IN EVERY METHOD *******//
// Load the Function php echo base_url();
$this->load->helper('url');
// Loading a Model Locally
$this->load->model('Post_model');
// Loading a Form Helper Locally
// Load the Function php echo base_url();
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url'));
// Loading Form Validation Library Locally
$this->load->library('form_validation');
//******* THE FUNCTIONS MUST BE LOADED IN EVERY METHOD *******//
$data['title'] = 'Create Post';
$this->form_validation->set_rules('title', 'Post Title', 'trim|min_length[5]|max_length[85]|required', array('required' => 'O campo Título deve ter minimo 5 caracteres.'));
$this->form_validation->set_rules('body', 'Body', 'trim|required|min_length[5]|max_length[1000]');
// IF THE LIBRARY "FORM VALIDATION" RECOGNIZE THAT ONE
// OF THE RULES IS NOT RESPECTED THEN STAY ON http://localhost/dogs/posts/create
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$this->load->view('posts/create', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
} else {
// ELSE...EXECUTE THE POST_MODEL METHOD create_post & REDIRECT TO http://localhost/dogs/posts
$this->Post_model->create_post();
// REDIRECT TO http://localhost/dogs/posts
redirect('posts');
}
}And this is my view Form file
Code:
<!-- FORMNAME -->
<h2><?= $title; ?></h2>
<!-- GENERATE FORM VALIDATION ERROR MESSAGES -->
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<!-- FORM CREATEION -->
<?php echo form_open('posts/create'); ?>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Post Title</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="#" aria-describedby="#" name="title" placeholder="Post Title">
<small id="emailHelp" class="form-text text-muted">We'll never share your email with anyone else.</small>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Post Content</label>
<textarea class="form-control" id="#" name="body" placeholder="Write Post Content"></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>I thank you in Advance for any Help or Light.
RE: Issue - Form_Validation > Setting Error Messages > set_rule() - xenomorph1030 - 02-20-2019
What version of CodeIgniter are you running? I tried out your rule and I see the custom message in 3.1.10.
For the heck of it, have you tried overriding the whole form_validation with
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_message('required', 'Test message.');

I agree with xenomorph1030 in the previous post. I too added your exact error message override to one of my form validation rules for a field and it gave your error message as expected.
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required|min_length[3]|max_length[100]', array('required' => 'O campo Título deve ter minimo 5 caracteres.'));
Not much help sorry.
Paul

For the heck of it, have you tried overriding the whole form_validation with
or something similar? Just for testing purposes of course. Dependent on that result, it helps steer you in the right direction with what might be the issue.PHP Code:$this->form_validation->set_message('required', 'Test message.');
I'm sorry, i'm trying again, and again and again and i don't get the message running!
Another way to do the message to run is like that:
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required|min_length[3]|max_length[40]', ['min_length' => 'O campo Nome deve ter pelo menos 3 caracteres de comprimento.']);
But really, i still have difficulties to see what's going wrong with this message or what is missing in my configuration.
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required|min_length[3]|max_length[100]', array('required' => 'O campo Título deve ter minimo 5 caracteres.'));
And yes, i use as the documentation says the set_message() in a condition IF
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_message('rule', 'Error Message');
What should i try again please? Thank you!

Dear xenomorph1030 & PaulD
I got it running! But i did a small change in the code.
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('name', 'Name', 'trim|required|min_length[5]|max_length[40]', array('min_length' => 'O campo Nome deve ter pelo menos 5 caracteres de comprimento.'));
Thank you so much Guys! I appreciate that!
