Note, you are not limited to passing just the text of the flash message via
response.flash -- instead, you can send any arbitrary HTML. So, a simpler
strategy is just to build the entire HTML DOM for the flash message and
send that in response.flash. You then just need to make two adjustments in
your layout/CSS: (1) change the HTML markup so it includes a div with just
the "flash" class and nothing else, and (2) create a CSS rule to hide the
#closeflash element automatically created by web2py.js (assuming you don't
want it). For example:
In layout.html:
<div class="flash">{{=response.flash or ''}}</div>
Add a CSS rule (in the head of layout.html or in a CSS file):
#closeflash {display: none;}
Create a flash helper function (in a model or module):
def flash(message, status='default'):
return DIV(message, BUTTON(SPAN('Close', _class='sr-only'),
data=dict(dismiss='alert'),
_type='button', _class='close'),
_class='alert alert-dismissable alert-%s' % status)
Then to set the flash message, just do:
response.flash = flash('This is a default alert')
or:
response.flash = flash('This is a warning alert', 'warning')
