Re: [fw-general] Zend_Validate_NotEmpty and setRequired()

[Jan Brucek]

Thanks a lot. I now use

$username = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('username');
$username->setLabel('Username')
        ->setAutoInsertNotEmptyValidator(false)
        ->setRequired(true)
        ->addValidator($valNotEmpty);

and it works as expected.

Hi,

I didn't tested it, but I think in your case, you should use $username->setAutoInsertNotEmptyValidator(false)

or you can if you want to add a message to an already existing validator you should use: $username->getValidator('NotEmpty')->setMessage("Message or whatever");

Hi,

I am currently having a problem with validating Zend_Form. Everything works great except when I try to add a NotEmpty validator to a field which is required.

$username = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('username');
$username->setLabel('Username')
        ->setRequired(true);

behaves as expected. Now I needed to change the message returned by the validator:

$valNotEmpty = new Zend_Validate_NotEmpty();
$valNotEmpty->setMessage("Message or whatever");

$username = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('username');
$username->setLabel('Username')
        ->setRequired(true)
        ->addValidator($valNotEmpty);

This returns exception 'Validator instance already exists for validator "NotEmpty"' no matter whether I set it before or after the setRequired() call.

Tried on 1.7.0 and 1.7.4. Any ideas on what is wrong?

Thanks
