Add customizable validation message to controls
-----------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3879
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3879
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public
Components: admininterface
Affects Versions: 4.4.5, 4.4.4, 4.4.3, 4.4.2
Reporter: Richard Unger
Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
The "default" validation message is too general to be helpful for editors.
Especially when the validation involves things like a 25 character limit, the
message should really point out what is wrong ("Your input is too long. Please
use a maximum of 25 characters.").
We use the field description to inform the user about the expected format, but
people still make mistakes, and are then confused by the generic validation
message.
This is particularly important when setting validationPattern on a ckEditor
field. Since the (invalid) field contents are echoed in the message, and
ckEditor fields typically have long content (and in HTML), the standard
validationMessage does not fit in the javascript dialog, and is completely
incomprehensible to the end user.
It would be a nice (and easy to add) feature to allow customizing of the
validation message, to complement the validationPattern setting.
Solution:
add a "validationMessage" property to controls
(info.magnolia.cms.gui.dialog.DialogControlImpl).
If the validation fails for the validationPattern, the control would then show
the supplied validationMessage in the alert.
