I want to show a custom message to user after he/she adds a new content of a specific type in Drupal 7. If I change the '@type %title has been created' to what I want the message will change for all content types.
How can I do it? Is there any module to define messages for different actions?
I just did this the other day, it's a bit of a hack, but I couldn't find another way. The basic premise is to get and clear all current messages, loop through and call drupal_set_message() on all of them over again, changing the one you want:
<?php /** * Submit function for the message node form. Check for new message notification and change it. */ function mymodule_message_node_form_submit($form, &$form_state) { $node = $form_state['node']; $t_args = array('@type' => node_type_get_name($node), '%title' => $node->title); $replace_message = t('@type %title has been created.', $t_args); // This call will get all messages and clear them from $_SESSION $messages = drupal_get_messages('status'); foreach ($messages['status'] as $message) { if ($message == $replace_message) { drupal_set_message(t('Thank you your message has been sent successfully. We will be in touch shortly.')); } else { drupal_set_message($message); } } } ?> I am using this to replace an existing drupal message to my custom message.
function _exclude_message($mymessage, $mytype="status"){ $flag = false if ($messageArr = drupal_set_message()) { foreach($messageArr as $type=>$messages) { if ($mytype==$type) { foreach($messages as $key=>$message) { if ($mymessage==$message) { unset($_SESSION['messages'][$type][intval($key)]); $flag = true; } } } if (count($_SESSION['messages'][$type])==0) unset($_SESSION['messages'][$type]);}} return $flag;} function my_theme_status_messages($display = NULL) { if (_exclude_message('Sorry, unrecognized username or password. <a href="/user/password">Have you forgotten your password?</a>',"error")) drupal_set_message("Sorry, unrecognized username or password.","error"); return theme_status_messages($display); }
under template.php
this code will replace existing "Sorry, unrecognized username or password. " with my custom message "Have you forgotten your password?".
Hope this will help you.
I had to do that too. My solution is for error messages in validation hook. But should be quite the same for a confirmation message. You just have to find the id of the message (in my example the name of the field).
First I used a function to prevent the message from beeing sent.
function form_unset_error($name) { $errors = &drupal_static('form_set_error', array()); $removed_messages = array(); if (isset($errors[$name])) { $removed_messages[] = $errors[$name]; unset($errors[$name]); } $_SESSION['messages']['error'] = array_diff($_SESSION['messages']['error'], $removed_messages); if (empty($_SESSION['messages']['error'])) { unset ($_SESSION['messages']['error']); } } So in my validation hook I unset the message and set a custom error message instead :
form_unset_error('field_name][und][0][value'); form_set_error('field_name', t('Custom error message translated'), $limit_validation_errors = NULL); Hope it helps.
