[TYPO3-mvc] Localize Flashmessages and fluid form errors

[Christian Kartnig]

Hi!

I'm just facing the same problems and already found out some things:

The current error messages are hardcoded in Extbase Classes.

You can set the text of the flashmessage by overriding the method 
getErrorFlashMessage() in your Controller. What this method returns, 
will be output in the flashmessage, return false for no output.

The current best practice for localizing form validation errors is 
described in [1] by Sebastian Kurfürst. The problem I have with this 
approach is: The property name of the validated object is the argument 
name in my action, and not the type. So if I have two actions, e.g. one 
createAction($newPerson) and one editAction($person), I will need 
seperate error messages for the same object. Has anyone an idea how to 
get around this? It would be nice, if I could somehow determine the type 
of the object...

Hope I could help you.

Christian
