I want to add a "close" text to the system messages, e.g. <p style="text-align: right; color: #e8f907;">close</p>.

​Below you'll see my added code to messages.php and elgglib.js. It works well when I change the core (temporarily of course). I've not yet overridden it with a plugin but I believe it will work. However, I think that since the system messages are triggered by events, it should be possible to add the code through a plugin hook, but I do not know how to do it.

Thank you very much.

--------------------------------------------- 

In messages.php the code is:

please note my added code in the comment "my addition". 

echo '<ul class="elgg-system-messages">';


// hidden li so we validate

echo '<li class="hidden"></li>';


if (isset($vars['object']) && is_array($vars['object']) && sizeof($vars['object']) > 0) {

foreach ($vars['object'] as $type => $list ) {

foreach ($list as $message) {

echo "<li class=\"elgg-message elgg-state-$type\">";

echo elgg_autop($message);

echo '<p style="text-align: right; color: #e8f907;">close</p>';//==== my addition

echo '</li>';

}

}

}


echo '</ul>';

And in elgglib.js, the code is:

please note my added code in the comment "my addition". 

elgg.system_messages = function(msgs, delay, type) {

if (elgg.isUndefined(msgs)) {

return;

}


var classes = ['elgg-message'],

messages_html = [],

appendMessage = function(msg) {

messages_html.push('<li class="' + classes.join(' ') + '"><p>' + msg + 
'</p><p style="text-align: right; color: #e8f907;">close</p></li>');//=== my addition

},

systemMessages = $('ul.elgg-system-messages'),

i;

.... etc....

Just override this view:

views/default/page/elements/messages.php

as

/mod/your_plugin/views/default/page/elements/messages.php

And this:

views/default/elgg.js.php

as

/mod/your_plugin/views/default/elgg.js.php

Where add location of your rewritted elgglib.js instead of

$elggDir->getPath("js/lib/elgglib.js"),

Works great.

views/default/elgg.js.php is new to me... good to know :)

Thank you very much RvR

Discussed already: https://elgg.org/discussion/view/2858248/change-image-memory-in-tidypics-23#elgg-object-2858309

You can try this plugin also: https://github.com/ColdTrick/imagick

Works perfectly especially with the plugin.

Thank you very much

Well done RVR

And warm regards to ColdTrick as well :)
