I am pretty new to phoenix. Need some help…
In each form i have the error msg:

<%= if @changeset.action do %>

Oops, something went wrong!
<% end %>

I would like to remove it from each form and put it in the template/layout. How to?
Thanks

You can try and paste this into template/layout.html.eex somewhere (might not work)

<%= if @changeset do %>
  <%= if @changeset.action do %>
    Oops, something went wrong!
  <% end %>
<% end %>

That is, you would need to check if changeset exists in assigns for a given template.

If <%= if @changeset do %> doesn’t work out, try

<%= if changeset = assings[:changeset] do %>
  <%= if changeset.action do %>
    Oops, something went wrong!
  <% end %>
<% end %>

But why would you want that?

I want one place for error messages in some place…
both solutions do not work…
controller!?

Then you can make a separate view for it, or add a template/render clause to the error view.

Can you provide more info?
Any errors get logged?
What if you replace assings in the second code snippet in my previous post with @conn.assigns?

controller!?

Hm?

Thanks… yep that is working:

<%= if changeset = @conn.assigns[:changeset] do %>
<%= if changeset.action do %>
Oops, something went wrong!
<% end %>
<% end %>

The other solutions throw a 500…
