[Solved] Missing information in [+validationmessage+]

Hello eForm gurus

My [+validationmessage+] placeholder within my form template chunk is only replaced by the general ’ef_validation_message’ string from the language file. No extra information is added although it should also display the ’ef_invalid_email’ for example.

The form works smoothly for the rest.

Example field definition in the form template chunk:


Any ideas?

Suggestions are very welcome!

Many thnaks

What version of eForm are you running? and what language? Sounds like you are using an old language file with a newer version of eForm. Check that the validation message from the language file looks something like this:



In version 1.4.3 this message has changed and contains the [+ef_wrapper+] placeholder which is populated with the error messages. This was done to make it easier to use the [+validationmessage+] placeholder anywhere on the page, outside the form chunk.

That is indeed the problem. I upgraded to 1.4.3 but did not overwrite the language files.

Many tnx!
