: Customize no access error message I am using joomla 3.x and have restricted access of some articles to certain user groups. When I am not logged in I get a really ugly message "You are not

From the Joomla! online documentation:


To override the system error results, copy the templates/system/error.php file into your templates/ directory.
If it finds one, Joomla! will use the error.php file from the current template, in place of the system file.
You can format the page, as desired, to match your template.


So add something like the following to your template's error.php:

<?php if ($this->error->code == '403') : ?>
<div id="errorboxheader">Not Allowed</div>
<div id="errorboxbody"><p>Sorry! You are not authorized to view this resource. Please login or register.</p>
<!-- Copy the code of the login module here! -->
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
