Thread

I am running an MSM install that drives three sites. I need to customize error messages, which I typically do by modifying variables in the appropriate language file.

However, now I need the error messages to be site-specific.

Site 1: This error has occurred. Follow these instructions.
Site 2: This error has occurred. These instructions are different.

Unfortunately, the language files appear to be tied to the base install and not the site.

Is there any way to have separate language files for each site so I can fully customize the user experience?

Thank you,
Philip

Hi Philip,

Yes, in MSM same language will be loaded but here you can achieve with the following approach:

- In the directory “system/expressionengine/language/” you can see “english” language folder containing all the the language files. Just copy and make another folder having same languages file. You can name it anything like: “english_site2”. This process is the same as having new language pack.

- Now go to the index.php of site 2:
put following code:

$assign_to_config['language'] = "english_site2";

This code should be placed anywhere above:

require_once BASEPATH.'core/CodeIgniter'.EXT;

Now customize the error message with the language files of “english_site2” for site 2.

It would work for you.

That should work!

Thanks!
