Hi,

Is it possible to output error messages generated by a formulator object in
a region at the top of a page template rather than to a column on the form.

Also is it possible to place the button where you want on the form.

An online example would be cool if one exists

regards

Chris MacKenzie

I don't think it is broken; as a coder you always have to weary of changes
to a template that break the templating code. Imagine a table row with a
tal:repeat copied over to a new table for convenience of the designer. Any
template editied by a non-coder needs inspection as an unrendered template
anyway, as well as discussion with the designer as to what he/she expects
will happen when it is templated.

Page templates support the use case, but as any tool will not make it work
by magic.
