Proper location for pngetstatusmsg call  Bottom

  • I seem to remember a discussion from late 2008 about the proper location to call the getstatusmsg (or pngetstatusmsg) plugin, but cannot find it now. Does anybody remember that?

    I think this plugin used to be placed into each theme's master and home templates above the maincontent, but the discussion I'm remembering was urging it to be included in the module templates instead.

    I believe I can see the logic in requiring the module developer to show the messages where most appropriate.

  • Yes
    and currently the way it works is in the module templates...

    anyways, if you use it in the theme templates, you may disable the module call (i'm almost sure that the theme templates are compiled before the module ones) and when the module call the <--[insert name='getstatusmsg']--> it will not find anyone, because the theme already displayed (and delete) them...

    So, depends on your taste icon_wink

  • Thanks Neo!

    That all makes sense. I just didn't want to go clean up a bunch of themes and then find out they were correct in the first place.

  • I recently moved the 'getstatusmsg' call to reside in the theme templates and haven't noticed anything different. The messages seem to display just fine.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks,
