I have noticed that a default Ion Auth install uses $this->ion_auth->errors() which reads the language file for displaying the error in the correct language. How can I make use of $this->ion_auth->errors() within my script to call the correct error message from the language file.
Sorry if this is a noobish question, this is my first time using a pre written library for CI.

$this->ion_auth->errors() is a method used to obtain messages generated by the ion_auth library (application/libraries/ion_auth).
If you look in that file, you will see various bits of code like
$this->set_error('activate_unsuccessful');which corresponds to the language file:
$lang['activate_unsuccessful'] = 'Unable to Activate Account';Finally, all the messages are output via:
public function errors()
{
$_output = '';
foreach ($this->errors as $error)
{
$_output .= $this->error_start_delimiter . $this->ci->lang->line($error) . $this->error_end_delimiter;
}
return $_output;
}Long story short, if you want to output just a single message without using the lib, you can do something like:
$this->ci->lang->load('ion_auth');
echo $this->ci->lang->line('activate_unsuccessful');
