I'm using below codes in Bartik theme.

I need to make: Value cannot be 4 in integer field_total

But dont know why not working.

function bartik_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  $form['#validate'][] = 'bartik_form_validate';
}
function bartik_form_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  if ($form_state['values']['field_total'] == '4') {
    form_set_error('title', 'Total cannot be "4"');
  }
}

New added: clearing cache giving error:

Notice: Undefined index: field_total in bartik_form_validate() (line 161 of /var/www/dru7/themes/bartik/template.php).

    Why not create a custom module and put all your custom codes there instead of using theme?

  • That is saying there is no value field_total, you need ensure that the form_state actually contains that value as field_total because it may not actually be named that

The problem is that $form_state['values']['field_total'] does not exist.

First make sure that you have a field value called field_total.

Second try this code once you make sure you do $form_state['field_total']['#value'] to get the value of the field.

  • Changing the code still giving an error. Changing field name also not helps

  • try using $form instead of $form_state. like this. $form['field_total']['#value']. and show us the error you got.

  • Use $form['field_total']['#value'] can stop the error, but it not works too.

  • var_dump($form['field_total']['#value']);exit(); on the first line of your function, copy and paste the result and show us. please!
