Magento – How to customize global message HTML

global-messagesmagento-1messages

How do I customize the HTML for the global messages block? it's called in most templates:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('global_messages') ?>

But I can't find reference to what is generating the HTML anywhere – enabling template paths does not show if it is using a template or not.

The block responsible for generating messages as well as HTML format is under core/Mage/Core/Block/Messages.php which extends Mage_Core_Block_Template class.

All functions are within that class as well as HTML tags that are used to generate messages.

I have a custom product attribute set "prodotti3d", and I change the options.phtml and the reference for the option type file with this code in the local.xml of my theme:

<PRODUCT_ATTRIBUTE_SET_prodotti3d>

    <reference name="product.info.options">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>catalog/product/view/options3d.phtml</template></action>

        <action method="addOptionRenderer">
            <type>file</type>
            <block>catalog/product_view_options_type_file</block>
            <template>catalog/product/view/options/type/file3d.phtml</template>
        </action>
    </reference>

</PRODUCT_ATTRIBUTE_SET_prodotti3d>

Remember to flush Cache and it works!
