Is it possible to use $this->validation->set_message on an existing rule SUBSET

[eluser]sherbo[/eluser]
Hello,

I have the following validation flow for a "I agree to terms & conditions" form checkbox:

Code:

$rules['agreement_confirm'] = "trim|required|xss_clean";

$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

$this->validation->set_message('agreement_confirm', 'YOU MUST AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.');

I keep getting the default 'The agreement_confirm field is required' required rule error message.

I want to display 'YOU MUST AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.' instead of the default required rule error message. It looks like $this->validation->set_message takes in only rules definied in validation_lang.php.

Is it possible to have different custom messages for different 'required' field on the same form?

I figured it out ...

Code:

$rules['agreement_confirm'] = "trim|required|xss_clean";
$this->validation->set_rules($rules);

$fields['agreement_confirm'] = 'YOU MUST AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.';
$this->validation->set_fields($fields);

$this->validation->set_message('required', '%s');
