Hm, I commented the lines in template.php and built a new module with the hook_form_alter and additional logic but this does not make any difference at all. Exactly the same behaviour...<br>

Yes, Drupal is quite structured and has defined ways to deal with<br>
stuff.. template.php and hook_form_alter are for 2 different purposes<br>
and in your case writing a custom module which implements the hook is<br>
the right way.<br>

Do you reckon that the problem is putting the code in template.php<br>
instead of a custom module?<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>

The place to implement logic based form_set_error should be in the<br>
validate function and not template.php .. I would recommend you use<br>
hook_form_alter<br></div>

<br>
-> $form_id will indicate the form you wish to alter, and there<br>
you can<br>
add a custom validate function in $form['#validate'] -- the custom<br>
function should then take care of form_set_error<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I am trying to alter a form (uc_cart_view_form) with various<br>
input<br>
fields (Qty for products). In template.php I am adding some<br>
extra<br>
logic which applies across a selection of these fields. Once the<br>
logic is checked I need to display an error message. I am using<br>
form_set_error to show the message. The problem is that the user<br>
then updates the input values and updates the form, but the new<br>
figures are not taken into account. They are shown in the<br>
form, but<br>
not used in my template.php extra logic.<br>
<br>
drupal_set_message allows the new values to work but the message<br>
appears twice and it does not, obviously, link to specific<br>
fields in<br>
the form which are problematic.<br>
<br>
Setting form_state rebuild to true before form_set_error<br>
does not<br>
have an effect.<br>
<br>
Any ideas of what needs to be done for these values to be<br>
taken into<br>
account with form_set_error?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
