URGENT!!! Display multiple error messages on VF page.

I am having 6 fields on a VF page.All those fields are required and cant be left blank if name field is filled.

I am using <apex:pagemessages/ > in my Vf page and below is my code.
Problem which i am not able to solve is,when i give name value and left other fields blank,i am getting only one error message.
Like Phone is required.
When i enter phone and save it,i get billing street is required.

But i want to display all the error messages at once.(fields which are nit filled ..error messages related to those fields)

Please help.

Hi Linda,

Can you remove 'Return null' from every else loop.

And add below 'If' condition before 'insert c;'
  
if((phonenumber!= '' && phonenumber!=null) || (Billingstreet != '' && Billingstreet !=null)|| ..............|| (contactemail!= '' && contactemail !=null))
{
return null;
}
 insert c;

Please let me know, if its still not working.

Please mark this answer as best if reply helpeed anyway.

Sample code is

Public pagereference save(){

    if(accountname!= '' && accountname!= null){
    
        account.name=accountname;
        if(phonenumber!= '' && phonenumber!=null)
        {
            account.phone=phonenumber;        
        }
        else{
        ApexPages.addMessage(new apexpages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Phone is required'));
        }
        
        if(Billingstreet != '' && Billingstreet !=null)
        {
            account.billingstreet=Billingstreet;        
        }
        else{
        ApexPages.addMessage(new apexpages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Billing Street is required'));
        }
        
        if(Billingcity != '' && Billingcity !=null)
        {
            account.billingcity=billingcity;
        }
        else{
        ApexPages.addMessage(new apexpages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Billing City is required'));
        }
        
        if(billingzipcode != '' && billingzipcode !=null)
        {
            account.billingpostalcode=billingzipcode;
        }
        else{
        ApexPages.addMessage(new apexpages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Billing Zip is required'));
        }
        if((phonenumber!= '' && phonenumber!=null)|| (Billingstreet != '' && Billingstreet !=null)......|| (billingzipcode != '' && billingzipcode !=null))
        {
        	return null;
        }
        upsert account;
        
        contact c=new contact();
        c.accountid=account.id;
        
        if(contactname!= '' && contactname !=null){
            c.lastName=contactname;
        }else{

        ApexPages.addMessage(new apexpages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Contact Name is required'));
        }
        if(contactemail!= '' && contactemail !=null){
            c.Email=contactemail;
        }else{
        ApexPages.addMessage(new apexpages.message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR, 'Contact Email is required'));
        }
       if((contactname!= '' && contactname !=null)|| (contactemail!= '' && contactemail !=null))
       return null;
       
        insert c;
        
    }
    
    return new PageReference('/'+pr.Id+'/e?retURL=%2F'+pr.Id);   
    }

But i want to display individual error messages.Like..If phone is missing,then 'phone is required'
If the value is given then check other conditions.

 
PavanKPavanK
Another good method is remove all 'ApexPages.addMessage' related logic from class and add 'Required' tab in visualforce tag. for example

 <apex:inputtext label="Contact Email" value="{!contactemail}" required="true"/>
Linda 98Linda 98
Thanks for that..I cant use required=true as i am having other sections in the VF page.
I just made chnages to code as you suggested.However,all other fields displays error message except contact name.
When i fill account name,and leave contact name(which will be required to create a contact) i am getting standard error( Rather than error on VF page).

how can i overcome that?
Hargobind_SinghHargobind_Singh
Hi Linda, The example from PavanK should show individual messages, all messages are added to pageMessages and are shown in separate lines. 
PavanKPavanK
Can you post revised code?

I still get the same error Pavank.When i just fill account name and click on save,i get Apex developer script error for contact lastname.
If i fill lastname and click on save i get error on VF page saying i am missing other fields.
Why is it not working with lastname.(i understand lastname is required field to create a contact but still i need that to display error message on VF page).
 
Linda 98Linda 98
Also i am facing a weird problem.
When i fill all the fields and click on save,NOTHING IS happening.JUst screen sits there.No account or contact is being created .
No redirect to next page.

God!!I messed up something which i am not sure what is that.
