Custom Error

elazarus3 · Post by **elazarus3** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 12:42 pm

I am using custom files, and on several tables redirect to the custom file after add / edit. The custom file includes common files. However, when the custom file loads, the stored message (add succeeded, etc) doesn't show. It then shows inappropriately when I leave the custom file and go to a standard phpmaker list page.

Is there a way to clear the customerror so it doesn't display, or to get the success or failure message to display on my custom page?

Thanks.

To display the message that stored in session, then you need to call "ShowMessage()" method that belongs to the custom file class page.

Let's say your custom file is "home.php", then PHPMaker will use "$home_php" as the object page variable, and you need to insert the following code into your custom file:

<?php
$home_php->ShowMessage();
?>

Thanks - trying this but getting error. Page name is myjournal.php, so I added the code
$myjournal_php->ShowMessage();

at the beginning of the file's php code.

Getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method cmyjournal_php::Message_Showing() in C:\Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\patient_portal\myjournal.php on line 84

Any thoughts?

Did you put your additional code from the generated custom file, OR from inside of PHPMaker project then regenerate the script file?

Thanks - I've tried it both ways and get same error. In custom file => content, and in the actual file.

I know that this is actually not recommended, but please at the moment, try add this code in the generated custom file:

function Message_Showing(&$msg, $type) {

	// Example:
	//if ($type == 'success') $msg = "your success message";

}

inside the "cmyjournal_php" class. In other words, the additional code above must be the same level with the function ShowMessage itself.

Thanks so much for the tip, but still no luck :-(

I just tried on here, and it works properly.

I can see the custom message is shown when the page that created by Custom File is displayed.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm not being clear. So, let's say I have a custom page called journalhome. Another page, daily_journal redirects to journalhome after add/edit.

When I add a record to daily_journal, the success/error message (like add successful), etc - doesn't show on the journalhome page.

However, If I navigate away from that page to another area (like patient_list), when I click the patient_list list view, I get the "add successful" message - see - it is coming late, on the wrong screen.

Can I add a line of PHP code to journalhome that just clears all these messages? Or, how do I add code to journalhome to display the success message from daily_journal.

thanks!

I know exactly about your needs since the first post of yours. I also tried on my side, and there is nothing issue about displaying message in the generated page of Custom Files.
