How do I create my own message replacing:

print_stop_message('no_permission');

I have tried creating a phrase like:

print_stop_message($vbphrase['myphrase']);

However, it says "cannot find phrase: myphrase"

How would I go about doing this?

You only put the name of the phrase in there. "no_permission" is the name of a phrase. The phrase must also be of type "Front-End Error Messages Phrases Containing" in order to work there.

So instead of GLOBAL, I would set it as Front-End Error Messages and I would put:

print_stop_message('myphrase');

Yes. Try that.

On mine, there is no Front-End Error Messages, only Error Messages so I have added it to that. It still says:

Cannot find phrase demoacp_detailsforwarded

What version are you running? I have that group in both 3.6.8 and 3.8.0. I do not see a phrase type of Error Messages in either of those versions.

3.8.0 rc1

That's very odd. I run 3.8.0 RC1 on my test site and it says Front-End Error Messages, not just Error Messages.

Do a search for the phrase "no_permission". What type of phrase does that show up to be? Did you try using the "no_permission" message first to see if you code works? And are you using this in either the admin panel or mod panel?

no_permission works, but its not that phrase I want to show lol.

Here's the screenshot for my findings

What page are you trying to do this on? And I can try to change it and see if it works for me.

You might want to search on print_stop_message. I found this that may help - Success/Error Messages
