Better Messages enhances Drupal's default messages by providing a customizable popup-like notification system. You can control the appearance, animation, and placement of these messages, with options for auto-closing timers and even drag-and-drop functionality. The module aims to offer a more engaging and controlled user experience for notifications across your Drupal site.

Better Messages is a very simple module that provides "Popup-like" Drupal messages.

Better Messages intends to let you control where and how you want to see your Drupal messages! Combine different animations and override better_messages.tpl.php to create your custom look.

Similar Modules:

This module provides a simple interface to alter the default Drupal messages! Currently it allows you to do the following:

  • Control the position and width of the popup message relative to screen.
  • Control the animation for opening, and for closing the popup message.
  • Enable or disable popup messages at specific pages.
  • Works with AHAH submits. COOL!!
  • Override the popup message by coping and altering better_messages.tpl.php into your theme directory.
  • Override the popup message CSS by coping and altering better_messages.css file in your theme directory.
  • Optional dependency on jQuery UI module which can make the message draggable.
  • Control countdown timer for auto closing messages.
  • Cross browser support! Works with any browser you can possible imagine.
  • This modules degrades gracefully for browsers with JavaScript disabled.
