Flash Message after each Ajax request

Rails
1

I need to enable Flash message with each request in my application.
e.g. if i have action on addFeed, after this action is executed, I
have a render :partial ‘showfeed’ but i also want to enable a Flash
Message for the action ‘Feed SAved’
I want to do this with every action in my application?
What would be the best way to approach this?

amy thoughts?

In my app, what i did was extend JavaScriptGenerator:

            def ajax_flash_notice(message)
                id = 'notice_wrapper'
                html = render(:partial =>

‘global/ajax_system_flash’, :locals => {:message => message})
empty_str = “”
#html = render(*options_for_render)
record “Element.update(#{id.inspect},
#{html.inspect})”
record “setTimeout(‘Element.update(#{id.inspect},
#{empty_str.inspect})’, 10000)”

            end

in controller action:

i set flash.now[:message] = ‘blah blah’

in .rjs

page.ajax_flash_notice(flash[:message])

I dunno if its the best implementation but it works for me.

Hi Francis,

call me dumb but i am still trying to understand rails architecture.
Now my problem with that example you gave me to putting it togehter

Here is what I am thinking

def ajax_flash_notice will go in Application.rb

In my controller, I will simpy set Flash message

Now How does this .rjs file get called?
this is my code

Feed.save
Flash[type]=“Task saved”
render : partial “showFeed”

Now how does rjs come into picture here?

I really apreciate your time.

Thanks
