I'm using the mailing list module as a newsletter signup form. I want to edit the error text that is shown if the user doesn't fill out the form correctly. Here is the error text:

The form you submitted contained the following errors

  • The username you chose is not available
  • List item the screen name you chose is not available
  • The email you chose is not available
  • Please type both words that appear in the image

I'm not using captcha so the last bullet doesn't make any sense. I simply with to remove that text. Can someone please tell me where to do that?

If you want to edit the actual text of the 'message' then you need to edit the language files here: system/expressionengine/language/english/

If you want more control over the design of the templates etc then check out the Custom System Messages add-on http://dvt.ee/csm ($12)

  • That is exactly what I asked for. Unfortunately what I meant to ask is how to delete one of those items? In the language file if I set the variable to an empty string the bullet still shows up. So I guess I need to know where to remove it from the code. Any ideas?

OR - go to CP -> Tools -> Utilities -> Translation Utility you need to edit "mailinglist_lang.php"
