Change error message text?

[SafeInSanity]

Hi,
Is there any way to change the default text message that my forum displays when a user (guest) does not have permission to access the page or the post?

 "Oops, there was an error! You do not have permission to access this thread."

Bump .. anyone?

Hi SafeInSanity

Give this script a go, add to the Global Header. Found it here.

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(){
       if(/\/board\//i.test(location.href) && $('.container.error').length && !pb.data('user').is_logged_in)
           $('.container.error > .content').html('Guests do not have permission to access this board. Please login or register to continue.');
   });
</script>

</script>

The code you found is working for boards but not threads. Any idea how to change the error message for threads when linking to them and logged out?

Oops, there was an error!
You do not have permission to access this thread

Not tested, but found it here

Change the parts in blue to what you want.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
if ( !proboards.data('route') ){
$('.container.error .title-bar h2').html("error title");
$('.container.error .content').html("error message");
}
});
</script>

Ok, this code is not working and it looks like I will need a code for threads, and pages. The one you gave me for posts is currently working

Silly question, but is there a reason that you can't use this plugin?

Just loaded it in to my forum and it appears you can only change the title of some of the buttons on the forum, not error msgs Kami

That second code relies on bug that was later fixed. It used to be that on Oops pages the dataHash.route and dataHash.page were undefined causing problems for plugins that assumed they should be available on every page.

The following code should probably be a plugin to allow for easy editing but here it is in its naked form:
<script>
/* Change "Oops" Message (Global Header) */
(function(opts){
const page = pb.data('page'), route=pb.data('route'), user = pb.data('user'), oops = page && Object.keys(page).length==0;
if(oops){
let $style = $('<style />').appendTo('head');
$style[0].sheet.insertRule('.container.error{display:none}', 0);
$(function(){
let $err = $('.container.error');
let user_msg = user.username && opts[user.username] ? opts[user.username]: (opts[user.id]?opts[user.id]:opts['everyone'])
if($err.length && user_msg && route.name in user_msg){
user_msg[route.name].title && $err.find('.title-bar').html('<h2>' + user_msg[route.name].title +'</h2>');
user_msg[route.name].content && $err.find('.content').html( user_msg[route.name].content );
$err.show();
}
})
}

})({
everyone:{
thread: {title: "Thread Viewing Error", content: "It appears you broke the forum again"},
board: {title: "Board Viewing Error", content: "You have really done it this time!"}
},
neo: {
thread: {title: "Thread Matrix Error", content: "Why do you persist Mr. Anderson?!"},
board: {title: "Board Matrix Error", content: "Wake up Neo, you cannot see beyond this board choice you just made"}
},
0: {
thread: {title: "Thread Viewing Error", content: 'Please <a href="/blah">login</a> or <a href="/blah">register</a> to view this thread'},
board: {title: "Board Viewing Error", content: 'Please <a href="/blah">login</a> or <a href="/blah">register</a>  to view this board'}
}
});
</script>


You can define an error message for individuals via username or userID and for "everyone" else not covered by a username or userID entry. In the code above there are three entries: "everyone", "neo", 0

The user with the login name "neo" will get his own personalized message and Guests (userID is 0) will get their own while everyone else will get the "everyone" branch. If you want it left untouched for everyone else then just leave out the everyone entry. Obviously add more users if you want to personalize for others or just leave the 0 entry to affect only guests.

Each entry is subdivided to match the route (thread, board, etc., so you can have unique messages for each situation) and those in turn are subdivided to supply  replacement (optional) title and/or (optional) content

All I have done is insert the javascript as is in to a plugin. I have tried adding some fields to make editing the messages easier, but then the plugin stops working. Not quite sure where I am going wrong!

Change Oops Message1.pbp (874 B)

Does it work? 

[Nscalerr]

In the current form it does work.

Works well, never thought of using an auto form though. Another bit of pluings to learn about.
