 This article is about fixing Cocoon's Forms block to use i18n for error messages.

The Cocoon Forms block adds functionality for processing Forms. Just copy the cocoon-2.1.6-src/cocoon-2.1.6/src/blocks/forms/samples/resources directory inside Lenya. I recommend apache-lenya-1.2.2/build/lenya/webapp/lenya/resources/forms. It changes validation messages from displaying text to displaying an exclamation mark as a link to the message. That is a really bad interface decision, but I left it. There is a bug in that code so the error messages are not processed by i18n. This is the fix:

FILE: forms-field-styling.xsl
ADD:
xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"
to the xsl:stylesheet tag to avoid the error:
The prefix "i18n" for element "i18n:text" is not bound.

FIND:
<xsl:template match="fi:validation-message">
<a href="#" class="forms-validation-message" onclick="alert('{normalize-space(.)}');return false;">&#160;!&#160;</a>
</xsl:template>

REPLACE WITH:
<xsl:template match="fi:validation-message">
<SCRIPT>valmsg<xsl:number level="any"/> = "<i18n:text><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/></i18n:text>"; </SCRIPT>
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">javascript:alert(valmsg<xsl:number level="any"/>);</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="class">forms-validation-message</xsl:attribute>
&#160;!&#160;
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
