Re: Re: Use beforeSave() for validation and display error message

try to use <cfimport taglib="/farcry/core/tags/formtools/" prefix="ft" />
instead of  <cfimport taglib="/farcry/core/tags/wizard/" prefix="wiz" />

and add <ft:serverSideValidation /> before <wiz:processwizard
excludeAction="Cancel"> in Edit Function.

server side validation working only in form not in wizard. (I am using
farcry 6.2.8)
