Validation Config

[eluser]OES[/eluser]
Hi Peeps

Hope you can help with this.

I was hoping to create a Validation config to set the error delimiters.

I created a Validation.php file in config and have tried many different ways to set the delimiters.

2 examples.

Code:

$config['_error_prefix'] = '<li>';
$config['_error_suffix'] = '</li>';

And

$config['error_prefix'] = '<li>';
$config['error_suffix'] = '</li>';

But none gets picked up.

Hope you can advice what Im doing wrong or infact this can be done for Validation.

Thank in Advance.

You do realize that this is setting the delimiters is covered in the User Guide?

[eluser]OES[/eluser]
Yes.

But you have to enter them into the controler.

Code:

$this->validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error">', '</div>');

I want it as a global config so I dont have to keep setting across my models.

And I dont want to touch the core files for updates etc.

Does that make sense !!

That make a lot of sense and I encounter the same problem, I would find very logic that we can set that in a config file.

I didn't tried it, but as the new 1.7 version on SVN has a complete new form validation library that allow to set rules in a config file, that maybe worth to try it. I am interested to know if it worked so post your result here.

Maybe a bit late, but I've figured somewhat of a workaround for this problem. I created an extension of the Form_validation class in the file application/libraries/MY_Form_validation.php, as follows:

Code:

<?php
  Class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation
  {
    function MY_Form_validation($rules = array())
    {
      parent::CI_Form_validation($rules);
      
      $this->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error">', '</div>');
      
    }
  }
?&gt;

I couldn't figure out how to save the config in a file....
