Hello, I am trying to call it like so...
db.domains.name.requires =[IS_VALID_A(db, db.domains.name), IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, db.domains.name)] This is the first time I've tried to write a class so it's all new to me. I "copied" an example. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony" <abasta...@gmail.com> To: web2py@googlegroups.com Cc: "Jimmystewpot" <mail...@oranged.to> Sent: Monday, 18 June, 2012 12:59:16 AM Subject: Re: Custom validators error messages class IS_VALID_A(object): Name = 'IS_VALID_A' def __init__(self, object, error_message='Invalid Domain Name'): Why is "object" the second argument of __init__? What is "object", and are you doing anything with it? Are you passing in a value for "object" when you instantiate the validator? self.error_message = error_message self.d = object self.DEBUG = 'YES' def __call__(self, value): if self.checkrecord(value) == 'valid': return (value, None) else: return (value, (self.error_message)) def checkrecord(self, data): value = 'invalid' return value In theory that should always error and give me a message saying 'Invalid Domain Name'. Yes, it should, and in fact it does as long as you pass a value for "object" when you instantiate. Can you show the code where you use the validator (i.e., where it is instantiated and then later called)? Anthony --
