I've created a JIRA issue requesting that each of the various *Messages() methods take an optional $namespace parameter; this would simplify using the FlashMessenger in most cases as there would be no setup required to use alternate namespaces (other than the default namespace). The issue can be found at: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-1705 This will only deal with namespace usage, not with clearing a namespace after retrieval; that will be addressed separately. > Eric Coleman-3 wrote: > > > > I believe the API is incomplete as I mentioned in a previous email. > > I spent a tiny bit of time testing this and I think the small changes > > are enough.. > > > > What I did > > > > - added getNamespace() - returns current namespace > > - implemented direct method as direct($message, $namespace = > > 'default') > > this was mentioned in the manual but seems to have been missing > > - changed getCurrentMessages() to getCurrentMessages($clear = false) > > if you want to clear out the namespace after retrieval, change it > > to true -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney PHP Developer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
