Hi!
I am wondering if there is a way to set different messages for the same form, when the frorm is submitted.
I have a custom registration form that I am using for editing profile as well.
When someone registers, I set a message like: thank you for your registration, please check your email and activate your account.
But when someone logs in and make changes to the account I am getting the same message. I would like to change it when the user is logged in.
First I thought about the custom file that I set when I do not have access to the content when doing a search, but that option is only at the search type forms.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi Milli05!
Have you tried to create two different forms? One for registration and one for registered users?

Hi designbengel!
Unfortunately I do not know how to set as a different form for joomla to use that for editing profile.
As I noticed, it uses the one used for registration.
Hello Éva!
You have stumbled upon a really nice challenge there :)
I looked at it, and what I found is that the message must be generated during one of before-store/after-store stages. So, unless you are willing to try injecting another message via Code Pack (30€), you might eventually try something in /layouts/joomla/system/message.php where the message is generated, for example test if the user is logged in, and if not, than probably is submitting a new registration so you can "inject" your new reg. message, or else the edited reg message. On a side note, the message does obey the JText conversion, if that brings any ideas.
My suggestion would be to create 2 Free Text message fields with your messages above the Submit button, and by using Conditional States (Site Form | display mode #5) you can display one message or the other based on if user_id Is Empty condition. Naturally, user_id must be present in the form, but you can put it into HIDDEN position or hide it otherwise.
Thank you Webcastor!
I just modified my message so that it will be ok for both case.
