PHPRunner General questions

I have a set of code that runs on my Add Page - Before Record added. It looks up some additional information from an LDAP server for a particular user that is being added to our database. It is trying to fill in the full name, e-mail, supervisor, etc based off of their LAN id. I have it set to return false if it cannot find the user, and writes out "Cannot find user" but that code shows up above the add new record box. I'd like to throw the error message out inside the actual add record box, just like the "<<< Record was NOT added >>>" message shows up in red if I try to insert a duplicate LAN id. How would I do this?

If you look in visual editor, in the middle of the page is a box with the word

message

in it

If you want error messages to appear, just use this

$message=

Will that keep the regular PHPRunner errors from displaying? I want to make sure the duplicate record errors show up as well.

Yes.
To join to error messages use following code:

$message = "<div class=message><<< Record was NOT added >>></div>";

$message.= "
<div class=message><<< Cannot find user >>></div>";

I have custom validation code running on my Add page, and these codes show up just fine now. My problem is that the validation code works for Inline Adds on the List page, but the error messages are not displayed. How can I get the error messages to display on the List page when an Inline Add is committed?
For example, I do an IP lookup to see if it is in a table list, and if it isn't I do <<<IP Address not Assigned>>>, but in the List page, when you click the checkmark it just keeps refreshing the page and not saving it until you change the IP to one that is assigned. I need a way to display the $message on the List page, how can I do that?

OK I just tried another layout (Paris), and noticed the messages are displaying. The other layout (London) did not show the error messages. Is this a bug?

It's difficult to tell you what's happening without seeing actual files.
