If you are using an ajax component, then just set response.flash, and it will work automatically. For other ajax calls, I think you can trick web2py into treating it like a component (for flash message purposes) by setting request.cid=True (or setting it to any value that won't evaluate to False) -- that will cause web2py to add the message in response.flash to the "web2py-component-flash" response header, which will be used on the client side to display the message upon successful completion of the ajax call. Note, you can also manually set that header:
import urllib2 from gluon.html import xmlescape response.headers['web2py-component-flash'] = urllib2.quote(xmlescape( response.flash).replace('\n','')) Anthony On Friday, May 24, 2013 9:22:12 AM UTC-4, software.ted wrote: > > is there a way of calling a flash message defined in web2py when an ajax > call is made...like the way it is in twitter > > -- > > ....................................................................................... > Teddy Lubasi Nyambe > Opensource Zambia > Lusaka, ZAMBIA > > Cell: +260 97 7760473 > website: http://www.opensource.org.zm > > ~/ > Human Knowledge belongs to the world! - AntiTrust > > Man is a tool-using animal.
