//--------------
In your controller action:
$this->Session->setFlash('There was an error', null, array(),
'error');
return;
In your layout:
// If there's an error, display it - if not, display flash message [if
there is one]
if (!$session->flash('error')) {
$session->flash();
}
In your css
#flashMessage.message {
color: blue;
}
#errorMessage.message {
color: red;
}
//--------------
If you really want to make things simple you could do this:
class AppController extends Controller {
function set($one, $two = null) {
parent::set($one, $two);
if (isset($this->viewVars['errorMessage'])) {
$this->Session->setFlash($this->viewVars['error'], null,
array(), 'error');
unset($this->viewVars['errorMessage']);
}
}
}
then in any controller just do
$this->set('errorMessage', 'Something went horribly wrong'); return;
(you'll still have to adjust the layout and css as above)
