Hello Team JB!
I use the New Lifestyle template.
I would like to leverage the Joomla error handler to display my own errors, warnings, etc.

Can you give me an idea of how I could do that with this template?

I'm thinking of using something like:
JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage(JText::_('SOME_ERROR_OCCURRED'), 'error');

in my code.

Thanks in advance!
Pat

Hi Pat,

What is it that you want to display? The error handling would usually go into your logic that detects the errors.

That would probably be best in a plugin, or template override depending on what you are trying to do.

Thanks, Rob.
I do have error handling in my logic. I have a php program that I run and thought it convenient if I could emit a Success or Error to the client using the existing Joomla error handling. Don't know how to bubble it up inside the JB New Lifestyle template, or even if it is possible.

There is an 'Auto message' area just above the 'Auto component' on my template layout.....

Hi Pat

All themes contain the Joomla message output.

In T3 based themes you can usually find it in /tpls/blocks/mainbody.php

Messages are only shown when something is in the queue to output, but you do not need to queue up your message in the template files, it can be a plugin or other extension.

Rob
