Statusmessages using atkFeedback

If you have the need to disclose a message after an action (like save or cancel) and easy way to accomplish this is to use the setFeedback.

The following triggers the update_success message to disclose, you can also add additional information which is discloses below the normal message.

 function feedbackUrl ($action, $status, $record="", $message=""){
    
     $this->setFeedback("update", ACTION_SUCCESS);
   // create a hyper link to goto the account edit page
     $xxx = href(dispatch_url("accounts.account", "edit",
              array('atkselector'=>'account.id='.$this->v_accountID )), 
             "Edit Record", SESSION_DEFAULT );
   $message = "To directly edit Account press this link ".$xxx; 
             
   return atkNode::feedbackUrl ($action, $status, $record, $message);
 }

The actions you can use are update, save, delete, import. The status values are ACTION_SUCCESS, ACTION_FAILED, ACTION_CANCELLED.

You can change the default message for all nodes by adding it to your language file, here are the list of feedback message tags:

 "feedback_delete_cancelled", "feedback_delete_failed", "feedback_delete_success"  
 "feedback_import_failed", "feedback_save_cancelled",  "feedback_save_failed"  
 "feedback_save_success",  "feedback_update_cancelled",  "feedback_update_failed"  
 "feedback_update_success"

Remember you can override an individule nodes value by appending the node name to the front of the tag.

"feedback_update_success" => "Record has been successfully changed." // all nodes in module

"preaccount_feedback_update_success" => "An account has been created." // override for preaccount
