Demonstration Message

One of the first plugins introduced with the I-Metrics CMS is the demonstration message that displays here at the top of the main content section as an error message. The Demonstration Message Plugin has a single configuration option to enter a message to display.

The plugin hooks the init_late call then adds a new entry to the message_stack global array by calling the messageStack object. Once the template is processed, messageStack displays the entry (ie: the message you entered on the back-end) as an error message.

This plugin is strongly recommended to people who want to develop plugins for the I-Metrics CMS as it is extremely simple and contains just few lines of code on the web-front. For instance to customize the message to use a success message instead you could alter the parameters passed to the messageStack->add.
