It seems that setting form_error_message on a form that has no other errors will not have any effect. Is this the intended behavior, and if so does anyone else think it doesn't make sense? :) In particular, I was trying to use form_error_message as a kind of 'error-handler of last resort', by doing this in a Catalyst app:if ( $form->submitted_and_valid ) { my $user = $c->model( 'DB::User' )->new( {} ); eval { $user->populate_from_formfu( $form ) }; if ( $@ ) { $c->log->error( $@ ); $form->form_error_message( "FATAL ERROR: $@" ); } else { $c->post_redirect( '/thank_you' ); } } Does it seem like this should work, or does anyone have a suggestion for a better way to handle this?
form_error_message only sets the message that should be used - I imagine it usually being set to a localisation string in your config file, so it needn't change at run time. I think we need a new method which forces the error message to be rendered, even if there are no field-errors. Could you add a RFE to the issue tracker, for this? http://code.google.com/p/html-formfu/issues/list Carl _______________________________________________ Html-widget mailing list Html-widget@lists.rawmode.org http://lists.rawmode.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/html-widget
