I've added in v1.0beta3 support to a new notification method, additionally to the text label you can now choose to notify with a 2 pixels pulsing line.

Thanks mate

Google documents have a nice way of notifying you about autosaving.

You could take the idea from there...

@nico, I've externalized the notification system as you have suggested in a separate extension using a Stack Overflow similar system.

Will be packaging it soon.

The current features:
- injects HMTL code to avoid tpl editing
- text close button ( [X] ), will add graphic one later
- you can insert multiple notification messages they will be appended one below the other
- you can add a sticky message that cannot be removed (used by QH AutoSave cuz it's a recurrent one)
- you can assign a notification ID, so it is possible to replace an already displayed message (used by QH AutoSave)
- jQuery animated notification removal (resize)

TODO:
- if there are more than two notification messages, only display two and add an 'expand' button at the bottom
- allow the use of cookies to store notification messages for persistent messages
- allow the use cookies to avoid displaying a notification message if the user has already seen it

Also implemented and will be packaged later on: externalization of the ezjscore server function to load eZ INI file. This new extension allows all JS projects in eZ Publish to load a configuration from an INI file qhjsiniloader.ini:

[QHJSINILoaderSettings]


AvailableLoaders[]=my_project


 

[my_project]


Parameters[param1_name]=param1_value


Parameters[param2_name]=param2_value

To use it, a JS file will include:

if( typeof QHJSINILoader != 'undefined' ) {


   // Returns the JSON version of eZINI::variable( 'my_project', 'Parameters' )


   QHJSINILoader.init( 'my_project', callback_function );


}

This will allow a single Ajax call (per page) to load INI settings for multiple projects.
