Multiple Errorsummary For Same Model

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Is it possible to create two or more instances of errorSummary for one model form on the same page?

If so, is it possible to target a specific errorSummary instance for specific form attributes?

I suppose the answer is ‘yes’, you just have to override a couple of methods (use the API reference), but I wonder what’s the usecase for that.

3

Suppose you have a really long form, which you split up into sections. Often the errorSummary is placed right at the top of the page. So ideally I want an errorSummary to appear in every section of the form, and only display the errors for that section.

I think it would be better for you to split errors array manually. Or you can extend the chtml (or form) adding function errorsummaryextended($fields = array()) and use this one.
