Inline Form Errors

IFE or Inline Form Errors allows you to place form submission error inline with the form elements. Three options are provided for setting your inline error behaviour. You can configure the default behaviour or override the behaviour on a per form basis. You can add as many forms as you like.

IFE provides three behaviours for the configured forms

• Leave the messages in place, this option will copy the error messages and place them inline. The original error messages set by Drupal will remain in place
• Show an alternative message, this option will replace the original messages with a generic error message such as 'Please correct all errors.'. This message can be set in the IFE configuration page. The original error messages are placed inline with the form elements
• Remove all messages, this option will remove all error messages and place them inline with the form element

In all cases only the messages related to the form will be touched. All other messages will remain in tact.

Supported forms/elements + known issues

Has been tested with core forms, webform form, cck forms and profile forms. It is possible that not all form elements are supported, I'm still looking for a way to handle the wide variety on form elements.

Should work:
- core elements
- most frequently used cck elements (text, number, link, email, date, node/userreference, ..)

Currently not supported (meaning the error message isn't moved):
- cck filefield/imagefield
- webform date field (cck date is supported)

The tests we've done are limited, so please do report issues/unsupported elements.
