Hi,

 

I'm translating the login page replacement message on a FortiGate 80F.

 

How can I modify the "Please enter your username and password to continue" contained into %%QUESTION%% variable.

 

Ok, I can delete the reference and insert a static text, but I'd like to find out some better solution.

 

Thanks

    Hello @JakeBlues,

     

                       Thank you for using the Community Forum. Could you let me know if you have tried to customize the replacement messages of the FortiGate using the below docs

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    yes, and it orked perfectly. My question is how to translate %%QUESTION%%.

     

    I see two ways:

     

    1. Replace it with static text. Fast but it's not the correct way to do that.
    2. Edit %%QUESTION%% somewhere. Where? Is it possible?

    Of couse I would like to avoid solution 1 because it's bad practice to hide static strings inside a page, instead of variables.

     

    Any idea?

     

    Thanks

    Not sure what exact replacement page have QUESTION variable and what it is. But it must be fed or used from/by a script (Javascript?) so you can't change but only remove if you don't want to have it there.
