How to show error message beside the element upon validation fails, instead of toolti

[ramki]

Hi,

I am using

Joomla 2.5.7
Fabrikar 3.0.6.3

Regarding error message display upon field validation: how to show error message beside the element, instead of tooltip.

When I used J! 1.5, Fabrikar 2.x, the error message display(see attached screen print) was quite meaning full, where, user can catch whats went wrong.

But in Fabrikar 3.0.6.3; TooTip is displaying upon field validation. Here the user can not know whats went wrong until they mouse-over on the 'alert.png' image. And we can't expect all the users mouse-over the alert.png to know the issue.

Could some one direct me how to get error message just beside the failed field, instead of ToolTip?

Custom template:
Copy your form template, edit default_group.php, add
<div class="fabrikErrorMessage">
<?php echo $element->error;?>
</div>
See labels-above template, it's displaying the error message as text below the element.
