Custom System Messages

Custom System Messages provides an alternative to the the Specialty Templates for ExpressionEngine. All ExpressionEngine messages, regardless of type or severity, are filtered through the same group of templates, which are only editable within the Control Panel.

On top of this fact the Specialty Templates do not not parse other template tags, so embedding other templates, or using tags from third party add-ons do not work... until now.

Template Sync

ExpressionEngine has basic capability for templates, template partials, and template variables as files, but if you delete a template, template partial, or template variable file from the file system it is not deleted from EE.
