MT 3.31 : Skinable error messages

By Voulf on Jun 9, 2009 at 10:33 AM 5 Vote 0 Votes

Hi all,

Is there a way to skin error pages such as : "An error occurred: Comment text is required."

I see this message is displayed by the mt.cgi controller but don't know how to hack it.

Thanks by advance,

best regards,

Adrien.

If you're talking about in the CMS admin area, then no, not without some hacking.

If by "skin," you mean change the wording of these error messages, yes, you can edit the Comment Response system template near the bottom of the templates list.

Hi,

I'm talking about the page that appears when a user doesn't fill the comment area.

I had a look in the all-tmpl but it is empty for now.

Would you please tell me where is the good directory ? If this is the good way to skin the error message page, will this page be common to all the blog i run under the instance of MT ?

Thanks,

Adrien

Hey,

nothing seems to match my need under this directory.

I saw that the cgi handling the error message is mt-comments.cgi.

Thanks for your support,

Adrien
