utilising $PORTAL_MESSAGE$ in a custom error HTML

jimmychoosshoes

I have a very simple custom error HTML. The documentation states that errors can be sent to the error HTML and displayed with $PORTAL_MESSAGE$

I am not a HTML coder, what line of HTML could I use to display the contents of variable $PORTAL_MESSAGE$?

Whilst the documentation states this is primarily radius errors, it seems that voucher errors also use this variable. This will be ideal for me as I use voucher and radius.

"Error message displayed for expired vouchers on captive portal error page ($PORTAL_MESSAGE$)."

Check out the example :

<form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$">
   <input name="auth_user" type="text">
   <input name="auth_pass" type="password">
   <input name="auth_voucher" type="text">
   <input name="redirurl" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_REDIRURL$">
   <input name="zone" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_ZONE$">
   <input name="accept" type="submit" value="Continue">
</form>

There is a leading $ and there is a terminating $.

I'm using $PORTAL_MESSAGE$ on the error.html page :

				<p style="color:red;"><b>$PORTAL_MESSAGE$.</b></p>

brilliant, thank you. I saw the example but couldn't find an example with the variable. Not having experience of this Im grateful for the help. I didn't realise it was literally simply put"$PORTAL_MESSAGE$" in the HTML!

I thought it was going to be a php line or some javascript. That was the last thing I needed, captive portal going live...
