hello guys at EE 1.6.x where and how can I change the error messages and CSS

regards,
allan

Hi, allan.

You go to CP Home ›  Admin ›  Specialty Templates ›  User Message Template and make the changes there for the template. For the text of individual error messages, you’d need to edit whatever language file is associated with the error message.

One place would be lang.login.php for the following error:

"no_username" =>
"The username you submitted was not found in the database",

NOTE: I’m pulling out the info from EE1.7.0. You should consider upgrading, it’s a recommended security upgrade.

Does that help?

sure, I guess so, I’ll upgrade to 1.7.0
thanks
allan

one more thing,
when someone do a search with a word he can’t found there is an erros, where can I change what is in it?

I think you might be referring to the language files? They can be found in .../system/expressionengine/language/english/.

I mean. I do a search and there is a result like that:

The following errors were encountered

  * Search terms must be at least 3 characters in length

Return to Previous Page

where can I find a place to change and translate these??

and which language file I find these terms?

Hi zupi,

In EE 1.7.0 the language file you will need is system/language/english/lang.search.php.

Cheers

ok, thanks,
there are 3 things to change:

{heading} this one is probably another language file?? which one???

{content} this one I could change

{link} this one is probably another language file?? which one???

Hi zupi,

Sorry, I’m not following you. Those variables are replaced depending upon which module generates the message. There is not one place where the content of those variables will be drawn from. It sounds as though you just need to create a complete set of languages files for your specific use.

Cheers

Greg

Greg,
maybe you don’t understand. there are always this:

{heading} The following errors were encountered - where can I find the file to translate this

{content} * Para fazer uma busca bem sucedida, precisa de uma palavra com mais de 4 letras. - this one I could change

{link} Return to Previous Page - where can I find the file to translate this

The following errors were encountered - where can I find the file to translate this

In core_lang.php.

Return to Previous Page - where can I find the file to translate this

Ditto.

now we are talking,
thanks a lot,
regards,
allan

So, does that clear it up for you? You’re good?

I have one more: The email address you submitted is not valid

this is error message when you submit something when you want to do a comment

what language set is this.

regards,
allan
