For each column in a pod add an Input helper that includes a copy of the default column code and a hidden placeholder for the column error.
This should be integrated by default into pods cms infrastructure when creating the html column code.

PHP

<b></b>

1

<b></b>

in podAPI.php (line 671 & 675) instead of returning an error message I return the column name to identify the column error palce holder:

PHP

<b> return $this->oh_snap("$key");</b>

1	<b> return $this->oh_snap("$key");</b>

In pods.ui.js I catch the error under is_error function, display the place holder and alter the error message:

PHP

document.getElementById(msg.substr(3)).style.display = '';<br /> document.getElementById(msg.substr(3)).innerHTML = "error";

1 2	document.getElementById(msg.substr(3)).style.display = '';<br /> document.getElementById(msg.substr(3)).innerHTML = "error";

In input_form.php (line 58) under the save_form function I hide all errors if btn_save is clicked:

PHP

jQuery(".login_error").css("display", "none");

1	jQuery(".login_error").css("display", "none");

The result is a error easily styled, positioned, incorporated with an error icon via CSS, and a dynamic message inserted via a pre-save input.
Hope you like it…

was not able to present the html error place holder >> it is a simple span under the input tag
