Hello,

How can I modify the URL where user message appear?

For example if a user unsuccessfully tries to register at example.com/members/register the user message appears at example.com (eg: “The form you submitted contained the following errors”)

I’m building a multilingual site and my language switch is domain suffix (using Freebie example.com/en/) and I would like to have the user messages appear at example.com/en/

Users would be registering at example.com/en/members/register

Thanks!

Custom System Messages can do this in a couple of ways, first is the Ajax submit option, which doesn’t require a page reload at all. The second I’ve only done when using Structure, not the normal template_group/template_name pattern. Create a page in Structure such as /members/register, and whatever template you use for that page, also assign that template as the success AND error template in the custom actions in CSM. In the template just use a conditional such as:

{if csm:error}
    show error text
{if:else}
    put register form here
{/if}

This basically keeps the use on that template during the whole registration process, and at the same URI.

Yes this is my add-on, so sorry for the promotion 😊

Matthew,

That is not available out of the box with ExpressionEngine and I would suggestion searching Devot://ee for an addon or choosing litzingers add-on.

Does this help?

Hi litzinger,

Yes, I think this will work - self promotion is a good thing!

I have a question regarding this method (retaining the {freebie_1} segment) which I will raise on the CSM Devotee support forum.

Thanks!

Matthew,

Glad that this will work for you. I’m going to close out this thread, but feel free to post again when you have more questions.
