    Hi all,
    Hope you’re well! Just a quick one with regards to member registration. As is the case with the integrated SAEF module, I’m thinking that inline errors can be displayed on registration / login forms when a user incorrectly fills out data. After looking into this for some time, I’m not certain how I might achieve this. It seems only to be able to display user errors on subsequent pages (the independent error list pages), from which a user has to hit the back button to address issues. Not so user-friendly 😊 Is this accurate, or is it possible to do something akin to the following?

    {exp:member:registration_form return="site/index" error_handling="inline"}
    error form code here…
    {/exp:member:registration_form}

    I’d ideally like to have site-wide inline error handling for the sake of consistency (arguably it looks a lot more professional than having a subsequent page with errors, and it looks a bit rubbish to have different error handling across forms on a single site). I don’t want to rely on ajax to deliver inline error handling currently (I’d rather have the site working correctly without JS, before enhancing). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Fran

    Hey all,
    just rewording my question to make it a little clearer, hopefully someone will have a moment to help.
    Is it possible to display inline errors on both user login and registration forms, without falling back on JS solutions - as is possible with SAEF forms?
    All the best,
    Fran

    Hi Dan,
    Just to say thanks for taking the time to get back to me! I’d had a good look (obviously not good enough) and didn’t see this one. It does indeed look like it’ll do exactly what’s needed. All the best,
    Fran
