Adding custom error message to Safecracker using hook
Development and Programming

Hey all,
I’m doing some validation of data inside the Safecracker “entry_submission_end” hook and I’m wondering if there is a way to add a custom global error to Safecracker, after the page reloads?
I’m sure there is a way of doing it, I just don’t want to spend a few hours digging through the safecracker_lib file.
Thanks!

You should be able to do something like this:
if (isset($this->EE->safecracker))
{
$this->EE->safecracker->errors[] = 'Some global error';
//or
$this->EE->safecracker->field_errors['title'] = 'Title must start with Z!'
}

Rob, is there any tag or way to know if Safecracker submitted successfully? I can’t use {error_count} == 0 because when a page initially loads, it will always come back as zero… any recommendations?
