Calling error short code from PHP

Ni

I have been able to use this succesfully in the past (from a validation procedure)

  if (!isset($thisData['conveners'])) {
    $isDataValid = 'NO';
    ?>
    {error:You must include at least one convener}
    <?php
  } else {

Now the text appears on return to my form but this is the result

The 'just testing' message comes from a custom code control.

Ways round it but it was working.

if(empty($this->data("fieldname"))

And this is in a Custom Code block, right?

isset seems to detect the error but empty makes more sense.

function is called from a php logic block so:

Yes but the block you're having trouble with, is it in a PHP block or a Custom Code block?

Also you can just do it like this

JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage("Message", "type");

a php block. I will swap to a custom code block shortly and try that first. I can use the PHP approach if not.

Answer

Using a custom code block partially fixed it.

<?php
$this->set('validateCourseDataValues',validateCourseDataValuesV6($this->data,$this->get('read_data1.mdlTermInfo')));
?>

The messages appeared correctly but while validateCourseDataValues is set within the php code {var:validateCourseDataValues} is not available outside that custom code. I could not use the return values in a event switch.

The enqueueMessage method works though the message appears in the PHP form rather than the chronoforms orm.
