A flash messaging system for Kohana v3.0 and higher.
To use, download the source, extract and rename to message. Move that folder into your modules directory and activate in your bootstrap.
To set a flash message all it takes is the following
Message::set( type, message );
type: Use a constant that can be found below message: A message string or array of message strings
When you need to get a message you can: echo Message::display(); or echo Message::render();
There are 4 constants you can use to set a message
Message::ERROR = 'error'
Message::SUCCESS = 'success'
Message::NOTICE = 'notice'
Message::WARN = 'warn'
The message class produces the following code by default
-
<li class"type">Message
... Repeated if an array
To style, set #message and the classes for the constants .error, .success, .notice, .warn
I get the most mileage from this class when validating forms. Here is a quick example.
$validation = new Validate($_POST);
$validation->rule(.....) <-- Add rules
if( $validation->check() )
{
// Validation passed
Message::set( Message::SUCCESS, 'Form Success!' );
}
else
{
// Validation failed
Message::set( Message::ERROR, $validation->errors('_form_');
}
