I think you should change ''You cannot perform this action" to something like:
"You cannot perform this action - please upgrade your membership." with the please upgrade bit being a link to the account upgrade page.
That should not be difficult to do.
You can do that yourself by editing 'includes/languages/your_language/lang.core.php' file.
I know, it's very easy to do. But I thought it should be that way already?
Not necessarily because not everyone wants to run paid websites, some clients run totally free membership sites.
I'm not sure what you mean? If you were running a free site the message would never appear anyway? I just thought it made sense to tell users why they can't do certain things.
If it were the other way around, and you were running a free site, would you then not be complaining about having a message about upgrading?
The way it is, gives you more flexibility, because it makes no assumptions about the way you want to run your site, and you can change the message to suit yourself.
In many instances, messages also appear duplicated, but they appear in different parts of the system, and whilst it may appear duplication of effort, it makes for more customization.
What is suitable for some will not be so for others, hence we all have the juggle our settings and messages and especially layouts, otherwise every site looks exactly like every other vldPersonals site.
I see, that makes sense. Never thought of it that way.
