CF V4 dynamic Add System Message

Hi,
The event Add System Message is static now.

Is there any way to hack it and display dynamic message?
For example
"Data saved. Reported by {operator}"
or
"Report no {report_no} saved."

Or I missed some way to use it?

Regards
Henryk

Hi Henryk,

Not with the current version of the action - I just looked at the code. But you can do it with a Custom Code action. Add code like this

<?php
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();
$message = "Data saved. Reported by {$form->data['operator']}";
$mainframe->enqueuemessage($message);
?>

Thanks Bob.
That's what I need.
I still miss some knowledge about J! API..

Similar to this, what if I want to display a system message if the SUBMIT button is pressed, but not display one of the BACK button is used? So, if the user saves changes by hitting SUBMIT, a message stating that the changes were saved will appear. If they hit BACK, they are redirected to the last page without a system message.

Hi Rick,

I think that the submit and back buttons have different values so you can check which one was clicked.
