I have a tickbox acting as 'Terms and Conditions' which has to be ticked (required) to be accepted

If someone fails to tick this I get the standard

Invalid field: terms and conditons

How can I do a custom error message for that field ie

You must accept the site terms and conditions to continue

Language override does not do the trick as that is just 'Invlaid field: %s' so I can only change the start of the setnence but that is a global change

I am going to hazard a guess this is another skeleton plugin job?

Thanks in advance for any asisstance

Hi,
this should be a great feature but unfortunately this is not possible. Easy Profile extends Joomla user management (not replace), so the registration form is the same of Joomla.

Joomla registration form uses Joomla JForm class to generate form (of course :D ) and a Joomla built-in validator JS (/media/system/js/validate.js) but unfortunately JFormField XML schema does not support natively custom error message and validate JS function only get message from Joomla language string JLIB_FORM_FIELD_INVALID.

In the future we will try to do something because we attach great importance to this feature, but definitely not in the next version :(
