Change timeout for spUtil.addErrorMessage on Portal

[David Morden]

I have a client that would prefer to have a disclaimer on their community page, but they want it as a "splash" message like an error message.   However, they want to extend the timeout on it so that it lasts for 10 seconds.   I have tried several iterations of different options with no luck.   Here is my base code to play with, and as always, any help is GREATLY appreciated.

HTML Template

<sp-widget widget="c.cri_community_disclaimer"></sp-widget>

Client Script

function($scope, spUtil){
       var c = this;
       $scope.m = $scope.data.msgs;
       spUtil.addErrorMessage($scope.m.disclaimerMsg);
}

Server Script

(function() {
   var m = data.msgs = {};
       m.disclaimerMsg = gs.getMessage("This is the content of the message");
})();

Hi David,

I know this is on the Kingston release, but perhaps it's ok for the client to wait and use that instead. what I'm talking about is the announcement functionality. Here is a great overview from ServicePortal.io about it: The Road to Kingston: Announcements (Part 1 of 3) - ServicePortal.io - Service Portal, CMS, and Cust...

I definitely appreciate the reminder about the new feature in Kingston.   However, the client is a VERY slow adopter of change due to other "home grown" application integrations.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this in Jakarta?

Hi David,

I don't think you can mess with the addErrorMessage to work as you want.

Now I'm just thinking here. But you would be able to create a own widget, with the info and in the link function add a timer, so after 10 secs it will set display:none on element having the message so it will disappear. Haven't don that, but should work and not so hard to do.

It sounds like it's worth a shot, but I'm having a hard time following you.   Would you mind including an example?
