Hi

I've got another small modification request...

When using hooks to modify the behaviour of an existing action, there is currently no way to generate an error message other than the default "An error occurred while saving", which is shown if you set the abort flag. This is a problem for us because we need to perform additional validation, such as ensuring the user owns the domain for which he is trying to create an email address (ie in create_identity).

My suggestion is simply to add an "abort_message" element to the $args array, which can be checked by each of the action scripts. For example, in save_identity.inc we just need to replace each occurrence of this...

else if ($plugin['abort'] || $DB->is_error())
    $OUTPUT->show_message('errorsaving', 'error', null, false);

...with this...

} else if ($plugin['abort'] || $DB->is_error()) {
    if (isset($plugin['abort_message']) && $plugin['abort_message'] != '') {
        $OUTPUT->command('display_message', $plugin['abort_message'], 'error', false);
    } else {
        $OUTPUT->show_message('errorsaving', 'error', null, false);
    }
}

However, this still has the problem that error messages can’t be made persistent (which I don’t need, but which should be included for consistency). So, a better method would be to only display the default message if the messages array is empty - but I haven’t looked into this yet.

If there’s another way to achieve this, I’d be very grateful if someone could let me know. I’d also be grateful if someone could make the change to the javascript functions requested in my previous email below.

Thanks

Marcus
