Forge: Custom validation rules translations strings are displayed within the 'valid_type' string.

Hi everybody,

When using a custom validation rule in forge (MY_valid.php). The error string is displayed as follows:

"The test field must only contain validation.testvalid characters."

As you can see the i18n string is being included inside the 'valid_type' i18n. This is very annoying because it makes difficult to prompt to the user the real problem since you have the error string starting with a text that you probably don't want there.

In order to solve it I managed to delete these lines from the Form_Input.php file on the libraries folder of the Forge module (line 338):

case substr($func, 0, 6) === 'valid_':
// Strip 'valid_' from func name
$func = (substr($func, 0, 6) === 'valid_') ? substr($func, 6) :$func;

After doing that modification, the string for the error message should be put in place as follows in the validation.php i18n file:

'valid_testvalid' => 'Your error message!';

I hope this helps.

You need to add your validation.testvalid i18n string for it to appear.
