I'm really close but the errors I tried to add via

Code:

echo validation_error();

is not correct. So should I make that from scratch or is there a code-igniter shortcut for that?

This is what I ended up with:

Code:

function validate_credentials_login()
  {
    $this->load->library('session');
    $this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
    $this->load->model('user_model', 'um');
    $this->load->library('encrypt');
    $this->load->library('form_validation');


    $this->form_validation->set_rules('email_login', 'Email', 'trim|required|valid_email');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('password_login', 'Password', 'trim|required');


    if ( $this->form_validation->run() === TRUE )
    {  
      $user = $this->um->validate_home_login(array('email' => $this->input->post('email_login')));

      if ( $user )
      {
       if ( $user->password == $this->encrypt->sha1( $user->salt .   $this->encrypt->sha1($this->input->post('password_login'))) && $user->email == $this->input->post('email_login') )
       {
         $this->session->set_userdata(array('email' => $this->input->post('email_login')));
         redirect('account/edit');
       }
       else
       {
         echo validation_error();
       }
      }
      else
      {
       echo validation_error();
      }
    }

I meant you can do something like this:

Code:

function validate_credentials_login()
{
  $this->load->library('session');
  $this->load->helper(array('form','url'));
  $this->load->model('user_model', 'um');
  $this->load->library('encrypt');
  $this->load->library('form_validation');
  
  
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('email_login', 'Email', 'trim|required|valid_email');
  $this->form_validation->set_rules('password_login', 'Password', 'trim|required');
  

  if ( $this->form_validation->run() === TRUE )
  {  
   $user = $this->um->validate_home_login(array('email' => $this->input->post('email_login')));
  
   if ( $user )
   {
    if ( $user->password == $this->encrypt->sha1( $user->salt . $this->encrypt->sha1($this->input->post('password_login'))) && $user->email == $this->input->post('email_login') )
    {
     $this->session->set_userdata(array('email' => $this->input->post('email_login')));
     redirect('account/edit');
    }
    else
    {
      $data["my_custom_error"] = "Password you entered and the one in the DB don´t match!!";
    }
   }
   else
   {
    $data["my_custom_error"] = "NO $user, validation of validate_home_login failed.";
   }
  }
    
  $data['main_content'] = 'home/home_page';
  $this->load->view('includes/templates/home_page_template', $data);  
  
    }

OR, maybe you want to use the form validation library, under "Setting Error Messages" subtitle you have the way to achieve that:
