Imagine you have a website built using Drupal, which is a tool that lets people create and manage their websites. Now, on your website, sometimes things don't go as planned. Maybe a page fails to load, or there's a mistake in filling out a form. Whenever such issues occur, the website shows a message to the user, like "Error: Something went wrong!" These are called system messages.
Here's a breakdown of the systems' fields and settings:
- Drupal System Messages: These are the messages that pop up on your website to tell the user about something that's happened, usually a problem or a confirmation that an action was successful.
- Error Types Categorized by Color: You can make these messages more user-friendly by customizing the colors of the error types. For instance, if something goes wrong, the message might appear with a red background to indicate it's an error. If everything's functioning properly, like when a form is successfully submitted, the message might be green. Different colors help users understand the situation quickly.
- Permanent Color Settings: Certain colors are fixed and can't be changed. For example, the color red might always be used for error messages, and you won't be able to change it to blue or yellow.
- Text Input Field for Predefined CSS Classes: CSS is a language used to style websites. Think of it as the website's fashion stylist, determining how it looks. A "class" in CSS is a way to apply the same style to multiple items. This system has a field where you can type in the name of a CSS class you've already defined. This could be a class from Solo (a set of predefined styles that come with the system) or any style you or someone else has added to the system.
- 15 Color Input Fields: You have 15 different spots where you can choose colors. This could be for different types of messages (like warnings, errors, success messages) or different parts of a message (like the background, text color, or border).
In summary, you can customize the look of the messages on your Drupal website, mainly through colors and pre-set styles, to make them clearer and more helpful to your website visitors.
