Hi,
I had the same problem. I did not like the way the error were being
displayed (In a new row above the field that has the error) To do
this I have to chenge the XHTML template
First I removed the validation from the controlheader-core
<#--
REMOVED
We have our own Error area
<#if hasFieldErrors>
<#list fieldErrors[parameters.name] as error>
<tr errorFor="${parameters.id}">
<#if parameters.labelposition?default("") == 'top'>
<td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2"><#rt/>
<#else>
<td align="center" valign="top" colspan="2"><#rt/>
</#if>
<span class="errorMessage">${error?html}</span><#t/>
</td><#lt/>
</tr>
</#list>
</#if>
-->
I added this to the form.ftl
<#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/xhtml/validationarea.ftl" />
In that file I wrote the following code: It output all of the error
into a single div. 'Holder Div' is used so the client side
validations will work too.
<#assign hasErrors = fieldErrors?exists/>
<div id="holderDiv">
<#if hasErrors>
<#if (fieldErrors?size > 0) >
<div class="errorMessage" id="errorDiv" name="errorDiv">
<#assign keys = fieldErrors?keys>
<#list keys as key>
<#list fieldErrors[key] as errorMessage>
${errorMessage?html} <br/>
</#list>
</#list>
</div>
<br/>
</#if>
</#if>
</div>
Next I had to change the validation.js file to use my div to display the errors:
function addError(e, errorText) {
try {
var errorDiv;
var error = document.createTextNode(errorText);
var br = document.createElement("br");
//Create the errorDiv it it does not already exist
if(!document.getElementById("errorDiv")) {
errorDiv = document.createElement("div");
errorDiv.setAttribute("id", "errorDiv");
errorDiv.setAttribute("class", "errorMessage");
errorDiv.setAttribute("className", "errorMessage"); //ie
hack cause ie does not support setAttribute
} else {
errorDiv = document.getElementById("errorDiv");
}
errorDiv.appendChild(error);
errorDiv.appendChild(br);
//Make sure all error moessage are display before showing the div
if(!document.getElementById("errorDiv")) {
document.getElementById("holderDiv").appendChild(errorDiv);
}
} catch (e) {
alert(e);
}
}
function clearErrorMessages(form) {
var errorDiv;
var errorDivChildren;
if(document.getElementById("errorDiv")) {
errorDiv = document.getElementById("errorDiv");
document.getElementById("holderDiv").removeChild(errorDiv);
}
}
I commented out all of the logic in clearErrorLabels() since it does
not apply to what I am doing.
I think thats about everything. There might be one or 2 places you
have to change some code in the template. The big thing here is you
have to change the XHTML template. I'm not sure if the simple
template has error handling, it might be easier to change.
