[FIXED] CakePHP 3.x How to detect the specific Flash messages?

Issue

I have 8 different Flash elements.

4 of them are like these:

growl_success growl_error growl_info growl_warning

The other 4 are: alert_success alert_error alert_info alert_warning

I want to make it flexible so that at the Controller end, I can freely switch between any of these 8.

The problem is I want the <?= $this->Flash->render() ?> to be at different places in the layout.ctp for growl type messages compared to alert type messages.

Is there a way I can do something like

<?php if ($this->Flash->startsWith('growl') : ?> <?= $this->Flash->render() ?> <?php endif; ?>

or

<?= $this->Flash->renderGrowl(); ?>

Solution

I think you can use the 'key' options when setting the message

in your controller

$this->Flash->alert_success(__('Alert success!!'), [
                'plugin' => 'PluginName', 'key' => 'alert']);

or alternatively

$this->Flash->growl_success(__('The project has been saved.'), [
                'plugin' => 'PluginName', 'key' => 'growl']);

in your layout in two different positions

<?= $this->Flash->render('growl'); ?>

...

<?= $this->Flash->render('alert'); ?>
