FormIt how to include (field)name in errormessage?

I want to show an errormessage WITH the applicable field(s).




I have to show which error belongs to which field otherwise these messages are useless. I don't want the inline messages near its input. I can't find it in the docs and in the forum. How to accomplish?!

Bump! nobody?

Might be hard as the field name itself is part of the markup (e.g. label-Tag) and therefore not known to formIt except your label matches your name-Attribute of the input type.

What you can do (not very handy):

You can also add parameters to FormIt call like

&mail.vTextRequired=`The emailaddress is required!`

See: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/FormIt.Validators#FormIt.Validators-CustomErrorMessages

thanx guys for responding! I could do that BUT I want also show the restrains and that would accumulate it tremendously. For my 4 fields would be empty, min and max so 12 I lied 10 error-messages to insert by hand.. bieboebieboe!

Wouldn't this be a nice feature for FormIt?! Let say [[+errors]] placeholder would also output [[!+fi.error.key]] or [[!+fi.error.name]] or whatever to insert some human-readable field-names. [ed. note: jambek2003 last edited this post 11 years, 4 months ago.]
