Hi,

This is a great module, but those "Add a validator to" links are seriously cluttering my admin pages. For instance, try adding a field to a view in D6. You would never add a validator to the views page, but when you go to add a field, you get a slew of validator links. It makes the already complex views UI even more difficult to navigate, and for no reason.

I suggest you add something like what is found on the configuration page for a block, so that users can configure the validator links to only show up on certain pages on the site. Having them show up on every page is overkill and gets in the way of doing other work.

ps: this is not the first time that something like this has been brought up. #277244: Should "Add validator to this field" appear @ admin/build/validator_api/*? is very similar.

I will start digging into 6.x-2.0 in the near future. This will definitely be at the top of the list for the next release.

Views 2 has a nice UI that displays "edit", "export", and "clone" links to the top of each View, but only when you hover the mouse pointer near the page title. You could use Javascript to do something similar, so that the "Add a validator to X" only appears when you hover near the title for the form field. Just a thought.

@ #2:
I like that. Im sure I could use some CSS for that. It might leave IE users behind though, but maybe that will get them to switch :).
