Option to display System Messages in a popup #1652

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

This came up in forum a couple of times and I think it would be good if we could implement this in Gantry 5...

Rather than having just the "system message" particle is would be good to have an alternate particle "system messages popup" particle that would display a modal view of the system messages in an overlaid popup that you could then close once the system messages had been read. The particle should not show anything on the page until there are actually some system messages to show.

This would also help with the time when system messages content can push layouts around (especially in fixed header scenarios).

Just an idea.

mahagr commented 8 years ago

There's really no need to have another particle for this. You can do the same just by some CSS and JS. So its really a theme thing.

ghost commented 8 years ago

It's an often requested item though so I thought we could add it in at some point. A lot of members are not capable of writing the necessary JS and hooks to do this - I must admit I can't think how to do it either.

+1 for all platforms :)

hacki65 commented 8 years ago

I really like the idea. 👍

JVKeller commented 6 years ago

Any movement on this? 👍

I created an atom to do this... https://rockettheme.com/forum/gantry5-for-joomla/278683-popupmessages-atom-freebie-by-mrt

Really only tested in Joomla.

Regards, Mark.

Thank you @marktaylor46 !

mariantanase commented 6 years ago

Hi Mark, Where can I find the atom ? I don't see it

ghost commented 6 years ago

On the link I provided above. It’s attached to the post.

mariantanase commented 6 years ago

Is visible only for rockettheme members I supposed. I cannot see it as a guest. Do I buy a membership for that ?

ghost commented 6 years ago

Yes, you will need an RT account to be able to see that forum but you don't have to have any current subscriptions...

mariantanase commented 6 years ago

Sorry but there is no free RT account, I don't see any register form for registration a free account. "If you do not have an account, Join a RocketTheme Club or purchase a product for access."

ghost commented 6 years ago

You need to have purchased an account at some time in the past (even if the subscriptions have expired). Sorry but there's nothing I can do abou this.

mariantanase commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately, I've never had a subscription on RT. Thank you anyway for intention.

@marktaylor46 @mariantanase @mahagr @N8Solutions What about providing the Atom publicly? I would also take my time to create a GH repository for it together with the changes I already made to the popupmessage Atom? So other people are able to participate provide input and I also would guarantee that I add functionality to the Atom following the release (styling stuff, better compatibility, maintenance,...)! There is no magic implemented so I see no reason for hiding it behind a pay wall! So more people would be able to benefit. What do you think? I would give the reference back to the original thread and creator (@marktaylor46) as well as RT!

I finally created a full rework of the original Atom posted on RT Forums. In the project repository you can find the install explanations as well as the features added. Jump to the lastest release download. It also contains some fixes as well as support for the Joomla Plugin System. I will maintain this repository so please feel free to add any contribution or idea. Participation is welcome. This issue might now be closable if it is something that is not coming directly to Gantry.
