Say I create a text element like this:
$firstName = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('firstName');
$firstName->setRequired(true);
Whats the best way to change the default error message from:
Value is empty, but a non-empty value
is required
to a custom message? I read somewhere that to replace the message, just use addValidator(…, instead (NO setRequired), like this:
$firstName = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('firstName');
$firstName->addValidator('NotEmpty', false, array('messages'=>'Cannot be empty'));
but in my testing, this doesn't work – it doesn't validate at all – it will pass with an empty text field. Using both (addValidator('NotEmp.. + setRequired(true)) at the same time doesn't work either – it double validates, giving two error messages.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

An easier way to set this "site-wide" would be to possibly do the following in a bootstrap or maybe a base zend_controller:
