I am strugling with multiple validators for a same form field which results in one error message at a time when the form field does not matches the validator rules.

Let me show the case briefly:

Smarty template file:
Code:
<INPUT NAME="field1" TYPE="TEXT" />
{validate id="rule_1" message="Field can not be empty"}
{validate id="rule_2" message="Field is not a number"}
...template implements other form input fields and validator...


PHP code fragment:
Code:
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty, true);
// syntax: SmartyValidate::register_validator($validator id, $formname, $validator, $empty, $halt, $transform)
SmartyValidate::register_validator('rule_1', 'field1', 'notEmpty', false, false, 'trim');
SmartyValidate::register_validator('rule_2', 'field1', 'isInt', true, false, 'trim');
SmartyValidate::register_validator('another_field', 'another_field', 'isEmpty', false, false, 'trim');


Desired result:
1. If field is empty: output message: 'Field can not be empty' (do not output message 2)
2. If field is not a number: output message 'Field is not a number'
3. Other validator output...

If the form is posted completely unfilled then:
rule 1 fails due to $empty = false
rule 2 succeeds even though field1 isn't numerical, due to $empty = true

Remember I do want to show two different validation message, so only use rule 2 with $empty = false is not an option in my case.

Actually result:
empty form field posted: shows validation message 1 + 2 (UNCORRECT, WHY?)
non-numerical form field posted: shows validation message 2(CORRECT)
numerical form field posted: no validation message occures (CORRECT)

Can anyone explain where it goes wrong?

Other point of interest:
How do you manage multiple validation error messages for a single form field in your smarty templates. Assign all the output to smarty vars and show only the significant message using a lot of {if} {else} branches ?

Looking forward for some hints about this.

Kind regards,

Oops, found posts strongly related to this topic:

http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=8744
http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=5505

As suggest in these posts, some code was tweaked. Wondered if there is a CVS for SmartyValidate or is code only maintained by Morth?

P.S. If there is an update on this subject however, feel free for post it here.
