[jira] Created: (COCOON-1951) Widget label text for validation
error message should be separately configurable in form definition
Widget label text for validation error message should be separately configurable in form definition
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COCOON-1951
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1951
Project: Cocoon
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Blocks: Forms
Affects Versions: 2.2-dev (Current SVN), 2.1.10-dev (current SVN)
Reporter: Mark Lundquist
Priority: Minor
The <fd:widget/label> element drives the display of a widget label in the rendering of a form. The CForms error messages (validation or missing required field) also use the <label> element, but what makes sense in the context of displaying the form fields doesn't *necessarily* make sense in the context of the error message.
In my current case, I have widgets with ids "fromName", "fromEmail", "toName", and "toEmail". These widgets actually have the following labels, respectively: "Name", "Email", "Name", "Email". That works because in my template, I have two HTML <fieldset>s with <legend>s "From" and "To", which contain <fi:group>s containing the respective widgets. If these requred fields are missing, the error message says "Email: missing required field" (or whatever); I would rather it said "Recipient email address: ..." or something like that, instead.
Another scenario would be a CAPTCHA validator. These are often labeled with something like "Type in the security code displayed to the right". In an error message, it would be better to say "Security code" or something like that.
Suggestion: a new element <fd:error-label> as a child of <fd:widget> that (if present) overrides <fd:label> in error messages.
