Overriding the default error message for a ModelForm
- by Jude Osborn
Is there any way to override a error_message text for all the fields of a ModelForm's, without having to include all the field info in the ModelForm?
For example, let's say I have a (very simple) model like this:
People(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True, help_text="Please type your name.")
age = models.IntegerField(help_text="Please type your age.")
I don't like the cut and dry default messages, such as, "Enter a whole number.", so I'd like to change them to something a bit nicer like "Please type a number." Ideally I'd be able to add an "error_message" property in the model, but the model does not support that property. So does that mean I have to basically duplicate all the model info in my ModelForm, or is there a way around that?
