Show alert instead of error

[Wolfgang Duttlinger, modificado hace 11 años.]

Hi,

In portlet code I create an error with following code:

SessionErrors.add(request, "no-subject-found");

In JSP i display the error using the liferay-ui:error tag:

<liferay-ui:error key="no-subject-found" message="no-subject-found" />

Instead of the red message box i want the text to be displayed in the yellow box, that is used for alerts



What is the best way to do so? Is there something like a liferay-ui:alert tag?

You can use Liferay css style for alerts (portlet-msg-alerts) on your JSP page:

<div class="portlet-msg-alert">
Alert message here
</div>

Thanks a lot Vitaliy.

I tried this code:

<div class="portlet-msg-alert">
	<liferay-ui:error key="no-subject-found" message="no-subject-found" />
</div>

And I got this result:


I think your proposal would work, if I used text instead of the liferay-ui:error tag. However, in this case I would loose the opportunity to use liferay's built-in error system.

Any further proposals?

Hi,

You may use css fix for this.
Override .portlet-msg-error class's background and border properties to none for that portlet only.

For example have css class name as
#id .portlet-msg-error

id would be element id of some top level html element of portlet page.


OR

If you want that alert type message instead error type throughout the portal then simply in theme override css class .portlet-msg-error class and set it as same as .portlet-msg-alert. OR
override html\taglib\ui\error\start.jsp and instead

<div class="portlet-msg-error">

keep

<div class="portlet-msg-alert">

.

HTH,
Thanks,
Pankaj

Thanks a lot Pankaj, you pointed me to the right direction.

in view.jsp I put a div with id "myAlert" around my liferay-ui:error tag:

<div id="myAlert">
	<liferay-ui:error key="no-subject-found" message="no-subject-found" />
</div>

And in custom.css i added this code:

#myAlert.portlet-msg-error {
	background: #FFC url(../images/messages/alert.png) no-repeat 6px 20%;
	border: 1px solid #FC0;
}

And the error finaly gets display as an alert in the yellow box

I'm using 6.2 and and this is how I did it (using the css that Liferay provides out of the box)

<div id="alert alert-warning">
    <liferay-ui:message key="no-subject-found" />
</div>

.. this didn't have the icon though so to add that you can do ..

<div id="alert alert-warning">
    <liferay-ui:icon image="../messages/alert" /> <liferay-ui:message key="no-subject-found" />
</div>

.. don't put the .png on the image attribute. Liferay does that for you -- as I learned the hard way.

Hi ,
I f you want to show your error message in an alert box then it is better to use the message key option and get the value from the property files.
Even the error ui tag does same thing. Only it adds the div tags with the corresponding css class around your message key.

So i advise you to get the property value from the file and achieve your result. Any other proposals are most welcomed.
