[fw-general] Zend_Form::setRequired() and setMessage()

[Jonathan Lebensold]

Hi there,

I'm working through a small project and I'd like to set a custom  
message for setRequired(true) since Zend_Validate_StringLength doesn't  
pick up form fields that are empty.

also, is there a less verbose (perhaps with method chaining) way of  
setting custom error messages?

        $usernameStringLengthValidator = new  
Zend_Validate_StringLength(8,20);
        $usernameStringLengthValidator->setMessage("username is too  
short!", Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_SHORT);
        $usernameStringLengthValidator->setMessage("username is too  
long!", Zend_Validate_StringLength::TOO_LONG);

        $username = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('username');
        $username->setLabel('Username:')
                         ->addValidator($usernameStringLengthValidator)
                         ->setRequired(true);


Many Thanks,
