Simple customising of the 'Validation_errors' message

[eluser]invision[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm currently using the following to display form errors on my forms:

Code:

&lt;?php echo validation_errors('<p class="error" style="background:red;border-bottom:1px solid black">'); ?&gt;

However, I want to display all errors within the ONE <p class="error"> and not repeat this for every error.


Many thanks for any help given.

Hi,

Code:

<div class="error" style="background:red;border-bottom:1px solid black">
&lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;  
</div>

Is this what you mean?

[eluser]invision[/eluser]
Yes, but I don't want to display the <div class="error"> unless there are actual errors after submission.

Is this possible?

[eluser]Bas Vermeulen[/eluser]
Sure, this should work:

Code:

<?php if(!empty($this->form_validation->_error_array)):?>
    <div class="error" style="background:red;border-bottom:1px solid black">
        &lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;  
    </div>  
&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;

Back of the net!

The more I do CI, the more I'm picking it up.


Thanks for all your help

[eluser]invision[/eluser]
Oh and just a quick PS.

How would you recommend I add a red border to any input field with incorrect input?

Is there a way to do this with CI?


Thanks so much again

You're welcome, happy to help out.

Yeah, the following will do that:

Code:

<input type="text" name="input_name_here" id="input_name_here" value="<?php echo set_value('input_name_here'); ?>"<?php if(isset($this->form_validation->_error_array['input_name_here'])): ?>style="border: 1px solid red" <?php endif; ?>  />

Instead of setting the style like shown you ofc should set a class

[eluser]invision[/eluser]
Of course, that'll speed things up in the long run.

Thanks again for all your help kind sir.

No problem

This can do the job as well.

Code:

<?php if(validation_errors()):?>
    <div class="error" style="background:red;border-bottom:1px solid black">
        &lt;?php echo validation_errors(); ?&gt;  
    </div>  
&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;

Code:

<input type="text" name="input_name_here" id="input_name_here" value="<?php echo set_value('input_name_here'); ?>"<?php if(form_error('input_name_here')): ?>style="border: 1px solid red" <?php endif; ?>  />
