Subject: [rt-users] Friendly Validation Errors?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=“us-ascii”Hello,
I’ve searched the archives, Google, the wiki (so I’m sorry if the answer to this is there, but I just missed it.)
Is there any way, short of editing the source, to have more friendly validation errors. So, rather than “Input must match [Mandatory]” I could change it to say “This field is required.” Or, instead of “Input must match [1]+$”, it could say, “Value must contain only letters.”
Thanks,
Mike
Hello Mike,
you can change /Elements/ValidateCustomFields in a plugin like that that.
The code is like that:
my %Messages = (“[Mandatory]” => “This field is required”,
“[[2]+]” => “This field must contain letters”);
foreach my $value( @values ) {
next if $CF->MatchPattern($value);
my $msg = exists($Messages{$CF->FriendlyPattern})
?$Messages{$CF->FriendlyPattern} :“Input must match”.$CF->FriendlyPattern ;
$m->notes( (‘InvalidField-’ . $CF->Id) => $msg );
push @res, $msg;
$valid = 0;
}
That does work.
