Templates

Overview

Customized templates can be useful:
When you would want the error messages to be displayed in a language other than English.
When you would want to display Company logo, Warnings, Custom messages, notifications.
Templates are used throughout SafeSquid as a replacement for pages which can't be displayed due to filtering, error, or other conditions.
SafeSquid has many default templates. You can replace the default templates with your customized templates.
A template may not necessarily be an html but can also be almost about anything like an audio file, flash file or an executable.
