This example Zend_Form class shows how to group the elements' errors above the form using the Zend_Form_Decorator_FormErrors decorator.
This combined with the decorator's following methods make it easy to display those errors in a totally different format.
<?php
class Quickies_Form_FormErrors extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
/**
* Add default decorators for this form (not it's elements)
* The ones below are the same as loaded by default
* just with FormErrors added.
*
* This groups the erros together
*/
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormErrors',
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl', 'class' => 'zend_form')),
'Form'
));
// add input 1
$this->addElement('text','textinput1',array(
'required' => true
));
// add input 2
$this->addElement('text','textinput2',array(
'required' => true
));
// add submit button
$this->addElement('submit','submitinput1', array(
'label' => 'submit it'
));
/**
* Remove Errors decorator from all elements
* so that they don't also display them
*/
foreach ($this->getElements() as $element) {
$element->removeDecorator('Errors');
}
}
}
