Form-errors Tag

If a form submission encounters a validation error, you can use this tag to loop through the error messages and show your user where everything went south.

Example

This tag can be used both as a conditional and as the data itself.

{{ form:set is="contact" }}

    {{ if {form:errors} }}

        <p>Oops, here's what went wrong:</p>

        <ul>

            {{ form:errors }}

                <li>{{ value }}</li>

            {{ /form:errors }}

        </ul>

    {{ /if }}



    {{ form:create }}

        ...

    {{ /form:create }}

{{ /form:set }}
Hot Tip!

form:errors is a Tag, not a variable. Be sure to wrap it with single braces when inside a condition.
