    • Re: Is there a way to change an Error message?

    Posted by Gary Cunningham-Lee

    Hi,

    The easiest way is probably to use Tiki's method for language customization. See https://doc.tiki.org/Interface-translation#Translation_through_Tiki_interface_database_Question. What you would do is specify English as the language to add new translations to. The current error message would go in the left column (the default text) and your new version would go in the right column (if I recall correctly - I haven't looked at the admin page in a while).

    The downside of this method is that every instance of the "You do not have permission to view this page" text at your site will be replaced with your new translation, so you would need to come up with phrasing that is appropriate not only for the homepage but for all pages that people without permission can't see. It may be possible to change the error message for a specific page, but if so I don't know what it is.

    Alternatively, you could set up group-specific homepages. You can edit the properties of each group at your site, and specify their homepages, so this may get around the problem of having the non-viewable page and its error message.
