Custom Error Message

map@odenterprise.org

Hello,

I am trying to give a custom error message in the editor while using the 'Validate::dbValues' validator. It is still showing the
"A system error has occurred (More information)" Error message.

Here is my code -

Field::inst( 'org_profiles.industry_id' )
                ->validator( 'Validate::dbValues', array( 'message' => "Value not valid!" ) ),

Thanks for the help!

Mis-read the question. Sorry.

That error means that valid JSON is not being returned from the server. Have a look with your browser's developer tools to see what is actually being sent back. Likely there is an error message stating what is going wrong.

Thanks for the replies. I just realised that my code is giving an error when I use ->validator( 'Validate::dbValues'). The staff.php in the network tab of the console shows the following error even when I enter a value which is present in the database. This is the error -

Fatal error: Call to a member function table() on a non-object in /var/www/html/survey/templates/dbadmin/Datatables-editor/php/Editor/Validate.php on line 931

Line 931 is

    $table = $cfg['table'] ? $cfg['table'] : $options->table();

Could you please help me solve this? Thanks!

Could you add a table option into the array where you are currently passing in the custom message please? It should be the table that you want to check the value against. You might also need to have a field property for the column.

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the solution. I have made the following change and it works perfectly. Even the custom message is being displayed.

        Field::inst( 'org_profiles.industry_id' )
                ->validator( 'Validate::dbValues' , array( 'table' => 'org_profiles',
                    'field' => 'industry_id',
                    'message' => "Value not valid!" ) ),

Thanks a ton for the excellent support!
