How can i change the error template that comes out when i try to send a form without filling the required fields?

Hi rildim,

The user message template is at CP Home > Admin > Specialty Templates > User Message Template. You can edit this as you wish but this is lightweight template and it’s not possible to use template tags like the weblog:entries tag.

Cheers

If you take a look at http://www.madebyhippo.com/herdspeak/ - I did a post about using jQuery for form processing.

Not quite what you were after, but it might be an alternative solution?

Thanks Carl. Did that and Greg’s advice help, rildrim?

I was thinking of duplicating the same template of the form with the addition of the error message but the jquery option might be more elegant. Thank you guys.

Is it possible to change the variables of the template?

Hi rildrim,

Do you mean use different variables than what are in the template by default? As Greg said they are lightweight templates and are restricted to a small subset of variables, so that is not possible.

I mean editing the text the variables display

rildrim,

Have a look under the Translation Utility which allows you to change the default text used throughout the control panel of EE. To begin with look for lang.messages.php

CP Home ›  Admin ›  Utilities ›  Translation Utility

Does that help?

Yes! thanks, thats exactly what i need for its for a website in spanish

Sounds like you’re all set. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
