Ok, got this working pretty good now. Had to modify hobo-1.0.0/lib/
hobo/model_controller.rb:562 to read:
flash[:gritter] = '<script> jQuery.gritter.add({title: "Done!",
text:"'+message+'"}); </script>'
And of course include the right js, css, and images in my application
for Gritter to work and look proper.
In order to make the messages more meaningful, I'll also add "title"
and "icon" to the to flash_message definition and update the method
wherever it's called in model_controller.rb to include those new
params.
I'm not sure if there is a cleaner way to do this, I'm open to any and
all suggestions. I don't really like to hack hobo itself, but don't
know how I might extend it to do the things I'm trying to do here.
thanks,
Jeremy
