Hi All,

I am trying to do error checking on a form. In the controller I have a function that checks or various errors and adds them to the attributes when they are found using the addError() method. In the form, I can display the errors using the get_errors_for() method but I want to customize the error message so that doesn't quite work for me.

I tried using the example from the How to do Validation page at this site like the example below:

{?Post.errors}
The post couldn't be saved due to these errors:
<ul>
{loop Post.errors}
<li>{error}</li>
{end}
</ul>
{end}

This just ends up displaying the word "Array" for each error message. If instead of using {error} in the loop, I use {error_loop_key) then I get the key displayed (which in my case is the attribute that I assigned the error message to). I never could figure out how to get access to the value associated with the key. Is there a Sintag like {error_loop_value}?

What I finally ended up doing to get this to work the way I wanted to was just put the whole error message in the attribute field for the addError() method and then using the Sintag {error_loop_key). this seems a little kludgy to me. Is there a better way?

Thanks

Barry
