Description
in my case, I have a form,that has a date column,and I want validate this date column like this: If user did something wrong,I would like to tell them what happen(forgot or typed/select the wrong date)
I assume what could happen is like:
- If user selected (nothing)-(4)-(1),the error message will be "year is missing",
- If user selected (1980)-(nothing)-(1),the error message will be "month is missing"
- If user selected (1980)-(nothing)-(nothing),the error message will be "month is missing" and "day is missing"
But I found out that I could't set the invalid_message for each input(year/month/day)
the truth is I can't define the invalid_message separately. When I typed wrong, I always get the error "This value is not valid."
so I spent some time on the code, finally I got this:
Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Core/Type/DateType.php
if ('choice' === $options['widget']) {
// Only pass a subset of the options to children
$yearOptions['choices'] = $this->formatTimestamps($formatter, '/y+/', $this->listYears($options['years']));
$yearOptions['empty_value'] = $options['empty_value']['year'];
$monthOptions['choices'] = $this->formatTimestamps($formatter, '/M+/', $this->listMonths($options['months']));
$monthOptions['empty_value'] = $options['empty_value']['month'];
$dayOptions['choices'] = $this->formatTimestamps($formatter, '/d+/', $this->listDays($options['days']));
$dayOptions['empty_value'] = $options['empty_value']['day'];
}looks like It doesn't pass the invalid_message to field year/month/day . so when the field gets wrong,It will always shows the default message . I can't even change it !
I made a simple fix like following code:
