I’ve been building for quite some time with EE now, but today I’ve come across something I can’t find any documentation or forum posts on.
On one of the websites I’ve built, one of the entry forms has a large list of fields, some of them required.
When an editor submits the entry, and the required field is empty, EE just returns the editor the entry form, and the field says “... is required”.
But this is a long entry form, it’s not always clear to the (not so tech-savvy) editors, that there’s something wrong. So I’ve had editors losing content because they assumed the entry was saved.
Now for my question:
Is there a way, an add-on or anything (somewhere i can write my own php or jquery) that above the entry form, the user is presented a message like ‘the entry form contains errors please see below and resubmit’?
Hopefully someone has dealt with this before and can help me out.
