Python code

Set a message:

msg = _('My important message.')
if request.website:
    request.website.add_status_message(msg)

By default the message type is info. The title (the label at the beginning of the message) matches the message type:

• 'info': 'Info'
• 'success': 'Success'
• 'danger': 'Error'
• 'warning': 'Warning'

You can change message parameters:

msg = _('Watch out!')
if request.website:
    request.website.add_status_message(msg, mtype='warning', mtitle='Oh no')

Messages will be displayed like this:

Javascript code

Dependencies:

var msg_tool = require('cms_status_message.tool');
var core = require('web.core');
var _t = core._t;

Inject a custom message on the fly:

msg = {
    'msg': _t('Item unpublished.'),
    'title': _t('Warning'),
    'type': 'warning'
}
// wipe existing
$('.status_message').remove();

// inject new
$(msg_tool.render_messages(msg))
    .hide()
    .prependTo('main')
    .fadeIn('slow');

Add a status message to the session, useful if you want to show the message only after a redirect:

var msg =  _t('Contratulations! You made it!.');
var options = {'title': _('My title'), 'dismissible': false};
msg_tool.add_message(msg, options);

Customize appereance

By default the alert box is added on top of <main /> content. If you want to customize this behavior just override or disable cms_status_message.add_status_message template.
