If you haven't seen the RoR Screencast: Creating a blog in 15 minutes with Ruby on Rails, check it out so you have some context to what I'm asking about here: http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov
Now that you've seen how the flash method works within the RoR controller, I ask: how do I make mine function in that fashion. The built-in flash layout and controller method in Cake essentially goes to a blank page, shows the message, then redirects to wherever you specify. The RoR flash method seems to put the message at the top of the page you've redirected to. Here's my real-world scenario. I'm building a wiki. The user is on the home page. They click a Login link at the top of the page. They redirect to the login form. They enter credentials. I need to say something at the end of the login action that says 'go back to the home page and flash this message on the screen.' Can anyone give me a suggestion on that? Part 2 of my question: I want to make the message have something to draw attention to it, so the user will be encouraged to read it, but then have it become more subtle. Ta-da list does this. When I click 'Add' to add my new item to the list, it adds itself to the list with a yellow background, then fades out to white. I want to do the same thing. I assume that I would just do this using a library like scriptaculous or Yahoo UI Library, but if Cake has some built-in way of achieving that, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks for reading my long question! Peace. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
