problem with 'required' form validation. |
[eluser]pgee70[/eluser]
hi. using code igniter 2.1.2 i have found a bug in the way code igniter renders the validation feedback for the required type. i was getting a validation message of "The Address 1 field is The %s field is required.." so i have looked into it. the file: /system/language/english/form_validation_lang.php has the entry: $lang['required'] = "The %s field is required."; what i think is happening is when the /system/libraries/Form_validation.php _execute runs it must be somehow substituting the 'required' parameter with its key value. i can't work out where this is happening, but simply changing the word 'required' to 'Required' in language entry 'The %s field is required' fixes the problem. its got something to do with line 525 of form_validation.php $message = sprintf($line, $this->_translate_fieldname($row['label'])); where $line = "The %s field is required" $this->_translate_fieldname($row['label']) = 'Address 1' its as if it is being called twice and 'required' is being translated to its language entry. anyway, its late and i can't work it out. so hopefully someone else can work it out.

This is either a bug in only a very specific environment, or not a bug and your code is causing the issue. Maybe you should post your code to see.

I'm not sure I understand your problem 100% but I guess it is your code causing trouble since I never experienced any similar problems - and believe me, I really know how CI like the back of my hand So please, post your trouble causing code (if it's too many lines use gist)

yeah, it was late i worked it out. i have a dual language website, and before i render the html i do a substitute through all the elements of the $lang[] array. i didn't realise that code igniter had its own system elements in this array. so, i have a helper: Code: function lang_sub($str,$obj,$params = '') and that was causing the problem. |
