Single Form Error Message Display For Multiple Attributes

Is there a way to display single message for multiple attributes like this

In model I have


array('areaCode, countryCode, contactNumber', 'required', 'message'=>'{attribute} cannot be blank'),

In view, this doesn’t work


<?php echo $form->error($model,'contactNumber, areaCode, countryCode'); ?>

the CActive form error method only accepts single attribute parameter

What about CActiveForm::errorSummary() ?

No. This displays error for all attributes in the model

I see.

Maybe you have to do it for yourself using CModel::getError() method.

getError() is used for single attribute and getErrors() for single or all attributes
