Change modal confirmation windows to alerts

Post by NetVicious »

Hi!

What about changing the modal windows with the (Pause) (Ok) buttons with 5 seconds countdown to a more dynamic notifications with colors.


There are tons of libraries which do the same):
https://alertifyjs.com/notifier.html
https://notifyjs.jpillora.com/
https://simple-notify.github.io/simple-notify/

Regards,

I would suggest you make a suggestion via a pull request. This day in age, posting stuff like this is better on GitHub too. The third one I like as it's self documenting.

Hi!
Can you give some little help about which files I need to modify?

As example I will modify the /cacti/graph_templates.php?action=template_edit form

I see on that form one submit button with a JS event. Can you tell me on which JS file I can find the function it run when clicked?

I will need to change also the headers to add the JS library for the alert.

Regards,

That's a big ask. Are you a developer? What is your primary language, if not English, how is your English?

I know PHP and HTML/JS, but I'm not familiar on cacti code.

So I need a bit of help to find those elements (JS file where the click event of that form it's managed, and the php file where the HTML headers are written to add the <script of the JS I need to use the JS library for the notifications.

I have actually not seen this post but already implemented it as part of 1.3.x. The final design of it isn't set in stone yet, just wanted to get something out there. Success notifications should fade away on their own but failures and warnings remain so you can clear them manually.
