I'm using formish to handle web forms but I don't like the automatically generated error messages when validation fails. Where do I customize those error messages?

Hi,
The best place for feedback on formish is in the google groups which is linked to from the http://form.ish.io page..
As for customising the error messages, the best way would be to create your own validator (which is pretty simple, have a look in the validatish module). However, you've inspired me to think about making all of the validators take a custom argument for each type of message... I'll have a think about that one. If you struggle customising your own errors, drop into the google group...

I wound up creating a validator that wraps another validator, catches the validation exception, and raises one with the desired message.

Hi Joe,
I've added custom messages to the validatish module for you .. If you get it from github, you'll see how it works (you pass a dictionary of messages to the validate function or object - e.g. Required(messages={'required': 'dont forget it!'}) )
If you need a release for it quickly, let me know..
