Question

I am attempting to insert a link into the error message displayed on a form. in my action I’v done this.

    $this->view->editForm->getElement('value')->addError('this type/value combination already exists. click <a href="' 
       . $this->view->url(array(
          'module' => 'collection',
          'controller' => 'tag',
          'action' => 'detail',
          'id' => $tagExists->getId()
       ), null, true) 
   .'">here</a> to load the existing tag');

so what I want to see in my web browser when rendered would be

this type/value combination already exists click here to load the existing tag

and what I’m seeing is

this type/value combination already exists click <a href="/collection/tag/detail/id/9">here</a> to load the existing tag

i am not sure how to actually cause the link to render correctly in the browser. I’m assuming that there is some sort of output sanitation happening in that error decorator, but I am not sure where I should be looking.

Answer 1

You need to set the escape option on the Errors decorator to false.

$this->view->editForm->getElement('value')
    ->getDecorator('Errors')->setOption('escape', false);
