Is there a message helper?

Permalink
In dashboard pages I have been using the validation helper
Loader::helper('validation/error');

to note and display error messages.

Just wondering - Is there a similar helper mechanism for showing success messages? (to date I have been writing an appropriately styled div the long way).

Nope - don't think so.

My personal approach is something like
if (!$e->has()) {
    $this->set('message', 'Success!');
}

No, do you need this? Error object can be augmented for multiple errors to direct user at everything that went wrong. But success is just success ;-)

If you're in a dashboard page, you can just do $this->set('message', 'Your message here'); -- and it will display that (you don't need to worry about outputting the message in your own view code -- the dashboard theme already handles that).
If you're not in the dashboard, though, then no you will need to output your own messages somehow.
