Basic status messages for your CMS system

CMS status message

A “status message” is an important message that you want to show to users.

For instance: a user submit a form or does a specific action and you want to report the status of this action like “your profile has been updated” or “Your upgrade has been successful.”.

This module allows to easily display this kind of messages to your users.

Messages are displayed using Twitter bootstrap alerts.

You can add several messages: they will be displayed one after another.

Usage

Python code

Set a message:

msg = _('My important message.')
if request.website:
    request.website.add_status_message(msg)

By default the message type is info. The title (the label at the beginning of the message) matches the message type:

• ‘info’: ‘Info’

• ‘success’: ‘Success’

• ‘danger’: ‘Error’

• ‘warning’: ‘Warning’

You can change message parameters:

msg = _('Watch out!')
if request.website:
    request.website.add_status_message(msg, type_='warning', title='Oh no')

Messages will be displayed like this:

Autodismiss

By default messages will be auto-dismissed after 8 seconds. You can turn this off by setting an ir.config_param like:

cms_status_message.autodismiss = 0

You can customize the timeout by setting the key:

cms_status_message.autodismiss_timeout = 3000  # milliseconds

You can also customize this on demand when you create the message:

msg = _('I will disappear more slowly')
options = {'autodismissTimeout': 10000}
if request.website:
    request.website.add_status_message(msg, dismiss_options=options)

Javascript code

Dependencies:

var msg_tool = require('cms_status_message.tool');
var core = require('web.core');
var _t = core._t;

Inject a custom message on the fly:

msg = {
    'msg': _t('Item unpublished.'),
    'title': _t('Warning'),
    'type': 'warning'
}
msg_tool.render_messages(msg).then(function(html) {
    // wipe existing
    $('.status_message').remove();
    // inject new
    $(html).hide().prependTo('#wrap').fadeIn('slow');
});

Add a status message to the session, useful if you want to show the message only after a redirect:

var msg =  _t('Contratulations! You made it!.');
var options = {'title': _('My title'), 'dismissible': false};
msg_tool.add_message(msg, options);

Customize appereance

By default the alert box is added on top of <main /> content. If you want to customize this behavior just override or disable cms_status_message.add_status_message template.
