If you will invalidate field val1 from inside validation method val1()
AND return false, your custom message will be overwritten with default
one, specified in your validation rule. You might want to implement
beforeValidate() callback in your model instead of validation rule,
like:
function beforeValidate() {
if (....your condition....) {
$this->invalidate('val1', 'Custom error message');
return false;
}
return true;
}
With this code, and
echo $form->input('val1'); // field input and error
or
echo $form->error('val1'); // field error
in view, your custom error message will be displayed.
> P.S as an added note can you please post an example with custom
> validation where the error message is in the VIEWS and NOt in the
> MODEL ?
