reg.error.message not working

profilneurotiker — Sep 04, 2014, 10:11 AM

Hello there!

Sorry to bother you people again with this new thread, but I need to get this working. Although I posted this question already in another old thread I open this new one to have an adequate topic and in hope to get a hint.

I'm using MODx 2.2.15 with the Login-Package 1.8.1, which finally after lot of researching seems to be working fine - except one thing (for now)!

By using the Login.Register-snippet I'm not able to get any output off the "reg.error.message"-placeholder.

I'm using this register-call:

[[!Register?
    &postHooks=`mailAdmin`
    &submitVar=`registerbtn`
    &activationResourceId=`226`
    &activationEmailTpl=`mailRegistrierung`
    &activationEmailSubject=`Vielen Dank für Ihre Registrierung!`
    &submittedResourceId=`231`
    &usergroups=`Alumni`
    &validate=`nospam:blank,
  username:required:minLength=^6^,
  password:required:minLength=^6^,
  password_confirm:password_confirm=^password^,
  email:required:email,
  fullname:required`
    &placeholderPrefix=`reg.`
]]

and inbetween my html-part I use this as the placeholder for the general-error-message:

[[!+reg.error.message]]

But this doesn't contain anything, even if I try to submit the form with blank input-fields.

I also tried different variations of the placeholder, but none worked for me:

[[!+error.message]]
[[!+error.Message]]
[[!+error]]
[[!+errors]]
[[!+errors.message]]
[[!+errors.Message]]
[[!+errormessage]]
[[!+errorMessage]]
[[!+errorsmessage]]
[[!+reg.error.message]]
[[!+reg.errorsMessage]]
[[!+reg.error.Message]]
[[!+reg.error]]
[[!+reg.errors]]
[[!+reg.errors.message]]
[[!+reg.errors.Message]]
[[!+reg.errormessage]]
[[!+reg.errorMessage]]
[[!+reg.errorsmessage]]
[[!+reg.errorsMessage]]

When I'm using the different error-placeholders for the several input fields, I get the desired output when the validation of this input-field fails:

[[!+reg.error.fullname]]
[[!+reg.error.username]]
[[!+reg.error.email]]
[[!+reg.error.password]]
[[!+reg.error.password_confirm]]

But I need the general-error-message to be checked if it is empty. When it's not empty I want to show a div in a lightbox-way in cojunction with some javascript, which holds the error messages likes this:

[[!+reg.error.message:notempty=`

[[!+reg.error.fullname]]
[[!+reg.error.username]]
[[!+reg.error.email]]
[[!+reg.error.password]]
[[!+reg.error.password_confirm]]

`]]

This works fine for the login-snippet, as well as for any other snippet within the login-package, except this register-snippet.

So how do I get the reg.error.message-placeholder working?

I've run into this problem as well - surely this should have been fixed by now...

Another thank you to @kctechsoln for posting the solution. This thread on the forum has just saved me a lot of time with a tight deadline looming.

Thanks for posting this @kctechsoln! I think I'm going to do a new project soon with a custom form, I hope with your provided info I won't run into those problems again!

Nice! Bookmarked - If you want to fork it on Github: https://github.com/splittingred/Login/tree/develop/core/components/login/processors

I know it's a bit late for you guys... but for anyone else, I found why this was blank - the placeholder was never set if validators had errors, it was only set for hook errors.

Solution to add a blanket error message:

/core/components/login/controllers/web/Register.php

Add Line 65:

'validationErrMsg' => 'There are errors in the form below.',

(this can then be set at snippet level using &validationErrMsg=`Custom Validation Error Message`)

Add Line 106:

$this->modx->setPlaceholder($placeholderPrefix.'error.message',$this->getProperty('validationErrMsg'));

lines in /core/components/login/controllers/web/UpdateProfile.php
65 = 62
106 = 206

Hm...i managed it by hard-coding the source of the two related source-files:

/core/components/login/controllers/web/UpdateProfile.php
/core/components/login/controllers/web/Register.php

I added this code

$this->modx->setPlaceholder('myError', 'myError');

after every

hasErrors()) {

Then I was able to use my new created placeholder "myError" inside my resources/forms:

[[+myError:notempty=`DISPLAY ERRORS IN LIGHTBOX-DIV - [[!+reg.error.fullname]], etc.`]]

But I still don't understand why the normal general-error-message doesn't work

Damn...i just realized that the same is happening when using the UpdateProfile-call:

[[!UpdateProfile? 
&preHooks=`bildUpload`
&validate=`
vorname:required,
nachname:required,
start:required,
thema:required,
abstract:required,
email:email:required
`]]

The placeholder is always empty when validation fails...

[[+error.message]]
