Question

How can i get rid of Zend default error not to show “Value is required and can’t be empty”

Thanks

I’m using this method:

$this->addElement(
    'text',
    'testname',
     array(
        'label' => 'User Name',
        'required' => true,
        'filters' => array(
          'StringTrim'
        )
    )
);

If you need to change the actual message text then use something like this:

$field = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('field');
$field ->setRequired(TRUE)
    ->addValidator(
        'NotEmpty', //validator name
        FALSE, //do not break on failure
        array(messages' => array(
                'isEmpty' => 'INSERT CUSTOM MESSAGE HERE' 
            )
        )
    )

Here you change the ‘isEmpty’ message of the NotEmpty validator.

Or if you defined the element differently.

$element = $this->getElement('text');
$element->addValidator('NotEmpty', //validator name
    FALSE, //do not break on failure
    array(messages' => array(
            'isEmpty' => 'INSERT CUSTOM MESSAGE HERE' 
        )
    )
 )
