Is it possible to return custom error messages on option validation callback ?

[Tom Christian]

I followed this tutorial but I get the below error when the callback returns false.

Server Error
Parameter 2 to Callback_UserField::validate() expected to be a reference, value given

Any ideas?

Yes, it's possible, I do it for my add-on.

Here's a snippet.

    public static function verifyOption(&$optionValue, XenForo_DataWriter $dw, $fieldName)
    {
        if ($dw->isInsert())
        {
            return true;
        }

        if (!$optionValue)
        {
            $optionValue = $dw->get('default_value');

            return true;
        }

        if ($optionValue['featurer'] == 'member')
        {
            $existingUser = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User')->getUserByName($optionValue['name']);

            if (!isset($optionValue['forums']) && !$existingUser)
            {
                $dw->error(new XenForo_Phrase('cta_ft_option_select_at_least_one_forum_enter_valid_member_name'), $fieldName);
                return false;
            }
