customize readable errors

A good example is the implementation of filters in Yii framework. In Yii we can pass custom error message.

public function rules()
{

    return
        array(
            array(
                'new_email',
                'unique',
                'attributeName' => 'email',
                'on' => 'changeEmail',
                'message' => 'Some message'
            ),
            'login, password, email, repeat_password, repeat_email,agree',
            'required',
            'on' => 'registerwcaptcha'
        ,
            array('login', 'length', 'max' => 32, 'min' => 3),
            array('role', 'length', 'max' => 32, 'min' => 3),
            array('repeat_new_email', 'compare', 'compareAttribute' => 'new_email', 'on' => 'changeEmail'),
            array('email', 'unique'),
            array('login', 'unique'),
            array('password, email, skype', 'length', 'max' => 255),
            array('first_name, last_name', 'length', 'max' => 32),
        );
}

Thanks guys,

I will definitely look into this one during the course of the week. The get_readable_errors() method was initially meant to be more of a lightweight helper if you wanted to use it, but more and more people are pointing out that it needs to be improved.

It's pretty easy to implement readable errors in Gump.
All you need to add is just a property, method and modify get_readable_errors method:

// Custom errors
protected $custom_errors = array();

/* ... */

/**
 * Adds a custom error
 *
 * @access public
 * @param string $validator
 * @param strimg $message
 */
public function add_custom_error($validator, $message)
{
    $validator = 'validate_' . $validator;
    $this->custom_errors[$validator] = $message;
}

/* ... */

public function get_readable_errors($convert_to_string = false, $field_class="field", $error_class="error-message")
{
    /* ... */

    foreach($this->errors as $e) {

        $rule = $e['rule'];
        $field = ucwords(str_replace(array('_','-'), chr(32), $e['field']));
        $param = $e['param'];

        // Custom errors
        if ($msg = $this->custom_errors[$rule]) {
            $resp[] = sprintf($msg, "<span class=\"$field_class\">$field</span>", "<span class=\"$field_class\">$param</span>");

            continue;
        }

        switch($rule) {
            /* ... */
        }
    }

    /* ... */
}

Something like this.
Good luck!

Release 1.5 makes it easier to use.
