I would simply like to shorten the present system error message "Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet" to prevent a line break in my template. Have looked in all the obvious places and examined forum after forum for answers, but can't seem to locate the file that contains this text. Can one of you 1,000 IQ Joomla "Jeniouses" point me in the right direction? Thank you.

The string is located in language/en-GB/en-GB.ini

E_LOGIN_AUTHENTICATE=Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.

Is it possible to change the color of the error message?

You can use HTML tags like span in the ini-files.

Take the example above and want to make password show in blue text you could add a span color tag like this:

Code: Select all

E_LOGIN_AUTHENTICATE=Username and <span style="color:#0000CC">password</span> do not match or you do not have an account yet.

Hi,

What if I want to redirect the user if the login is incorrect? For example to a custom login error page, or to the login page itself?

Thanks!

I looked for hours for this, thank you! I have another question that has to do with this. I want to put the error message elsewhere on the site, like in another position. Where would I go to edit the position of the error message? if you go to buckalou.com/layout and put in a user/pass and hit submit, the message comes up, problem is, it's half way down the page and the common user might not think to scroll down, thats why I want to add it further up. Any help with this, would be much appreciated!

Your template should include

<jdoc:include type="message" />

where you want the message to display.

How would you edit the index.php file if you wanted the error messages to show up on the bottom of the page.

Also, they seem to not want to disapear such as "Your session has expired" however I am still logged in to the restricted area's of my website.

To change the position of the messages, you need to edit the css file on your template, not the index file.

Just place this code at the bottom of your template index,php in a div, below the footer.

In 1.5, this string

E_NOLOGIN_BLOCKED=Login denied! Your account has either been blocked or you have not activated it yet. Did you not get an activation e-mail and follow the validation link?

is present in
language/en-GB/en-GB.ini

If it is not for you, I suggest you update your installation with a full 1.5.23 pack.

Hi! I have a huge problem here that I cant figure out how to change... could someone give a hand?
I need to change the position where the messages appear at: http://programatecnologiasi.org.
Right now when you, for example, enter a wrong password signing in, you get an error message under the module of Ultimas Noticias. I need to change it to appear before that module and cant find where to do it
=(

Change the place of this code in your template index.php

Code: Select all

 <jdoc:include type="message" />

<?php

* @author YOOtheme http://www.yootheme.com
* @copyright Copyright (C) YOOtheme GmbH
* @license YOOtheme Proprietary Use License (http://www.yootheme.com/license)
*/

// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

// include config
include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config.php');

// get warp
$warp =& Warp::getInstance();

// load main template file, located in /layouts/template.php
echo $warp->template->render('template');

=(
template.php doesnt have it either...
