Re: Re: setting Flexy form error messages

hi alan

This kind of made precompiling templates rather messy. (but I still may consider it..)

could be quite handy, currently the flexy parser is quite strict, simply missing an attribute quote dumps largish errors. i understand the parser needs to work according to a strict logic, but if i give templates for example to non-developers i think they would struggle.

Assuming the HTML is <input type="checkbox" name="xxxx" value="3"> $input->flexyElements['xxx'] = new HTML_Template_Flexy_Element; $input->flexyElements['xxx']->value=3; should be enough.. OR <input type="checkbox" name="xxxx[]" value="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="xxxx[]" value="2"> <input type="checkbox" name="xxxx[]" value="3"> <input type="checkbox" name="xxxx[]" value="4"> $elements = new HTML_Template_Flexy_Factory::fromArray( array('xxxx' => array(1,3,4));

I would use this approach but the fact that the following is true: <FORM name="XXXX">

    <INPUT name="yyy">

which compiles to: <?php echo $this->elements['XXXX']->toHtmlnoClose();?>

    <?php echo $this->elements['yyy']->toHtml();?>

and not <?php echo $this->elements['XXXX']->toHtmlnoClose();?>

    <?php echo $this->elements['XXXX']['yyy']->toHtml();?>

i think it could quite quickly run into problems. for flexbility i've found it quite convenient to put all form elements into a single array <input type="text" name="user[name]">name <input type="text" name="user[password]">password then cast it to and object from once posted. have just hacked line by line error-reporting which seems easier: <tr>

    <td><span style="color: red">*</span><b>Address 1</b></td>
    <td >

{if:array_key_exists(#addr_1#,error)} <div style="color:red">{error[addr_1]}</div> {end:}

        <input name="user[addr_1]" type="text" value="{user.addr_1}" />
    </td>

</tr> with the error messages being set in the model's validation method. make sense? cheers demian
