I created a custom widget including an *INPUT* with a *hideerror=True*parameter. It did not hide error messages.
To simulate:
in model:
class
SimpleWidget(FormWidget):
_class =
'string'
@classmethod
def widget(cls, field, value,
**attributes):
default =
dict(
_type =
'text',
value = (not value is None and str(value)) or
'',
)
attr = cls._attributes(field, default,
**attributes)
return INPUT(hideerror=True,
**attr)
db.define_table('atable',
Field('afield',
'string',
widget=SimpleWidget.widget,
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(),
),
migrate=True,
)
In controller:
def
test_hideerror():
response.generic_patterns =
['html']
form = crud.update(db.atable,
request.args(0))
return dict(form=form)
Submit form with the 'afield' empty and it displays an error.
This patch fixes it but it may change the logic in a way not originally
intended. In *gluon/html.py class DIV() def _traverse()*,
change:
c['hideerror']=hideerror
to
if 'hideerror' not in
c.attributes:
c['hideerror']=hideerror
The patch only sets the hideerror attribute if it doesn't already exist.
With tet patch, if the widget has *hideerror=True*, if you use *
form.validate(hideerror=False)*, a field using the widget will still hide
the error.
