CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi ,

      I am newbie to civicrm, and just started using it to learn it. I was able to get a small custom module hbm.module and in it I wrote a small logic within a function hbm_civicrm_pre(). So whenever  the contact is added this hook gets invoked.

     What I am trying to do is, like email validation failure messages that appear top of contact form , I wanted to show a custom message. I am not able to make out how this is done in civicrm.

     I tried some stuffs like, drupal_set_message(ts()) , returning a $error array etc .. but none of it appears in the contact form.

     How can I just prepare a custom message and return the contact page back to edit form from the pre() invoke.

     Thanks in advance for the pointer and help..

With regards,
