I can think of one way to do this using the ViewScript decorator, but it's
not very convenient. I am trying to get my head around the Zend_Form
component and customizing it to suit my needs. I'm currently working on an
example using the ViewScript decorator, but it's ugly. All of the markup
goes into the view, and controller, form model, and form view are all
tightly coupled.
I'm starting to think this component is more hassle than its worth, but
maybe I'm just a little slow on the uptake....
However, in my case, in the view script, on the email field:
<?php
$errors = $form->email->getMessages();
if (count($errors)):
?>
<div class="formError">
Email is invalid.
</div><!--formError-->
<?php endif;?>
It's ugly and not very useful. Might as well roll your own forms using the
validate/filter components as do this on every form...but i'm sure there's
an easier way and some of the smart people will point it out.
