[pmwiki-users] [Fwd: Re: Error messages in PmForm don't stand out]

[Knut Alboldt]

Sorry, I tested with my own form template, for mailform it possibly 
would be like this:

[[#mailform]]
(:template default successpage='' :)
(:input pmform target={$$target} successpage="{$$successpage}" :)
(:input default request=1:)
(:div style="color:red;":)
(:messages:)
(:divend:)
||width=''
||$[Your address]: ||(:input text from size=30:) ||
||$[Subject]:      ||(:input text subject size=30:) ||
$[Message]:\\
(:input textarea text rows=15 cols=60:)\\
(:input submit name=post value='$[Send]':)
(:input end:)
[[#mailformend]]

(not tested)

Hi Sandy !

I tested it using the following Form-Template (on Site.LocalTemplates):

[[#AForm]]
(:input pmform target={$$target} :)
(:input default source={*$FullName} :)

See next paragraph:

(:div style="color:red;":)
(:messages:)
(:divend:)

||(:input submit value='Änderungen speichern':) || ||
||Textfield: ||(:input text $:textfield :) ||
||Selectfield: ||(:input select $:selectfield value=nein:)(:input select
$:selectfield value=ja:) ||
||Textareafield: || (:input textarea $:textareafield rows=6 columns=50:) ||
(:input end:)
* target={$$target}
* FullName={*$FullName}
* *FullName={$FullName}
[[#AFormend]]

and it worked.

So it has to be done in the input form definition rather than in the
post-processing template (?).
But this also will type all kind of messages in red (f there are other
displayed than errormessages)

I also tried

%red%(:messages:)%%

but that won't work ( (:messages:)  won't parsed any more)
