Second Parameter of getMessage() on Client Side

[Mike McCall]

I was recently inspired by Chuck Tomasi's post on gs.getMessage() - The Second Parameter, but when I tried to add a second parameter to the client-side getMessage() function, it didn't seem to work.

Does anyone know if the client-side getMessage() function does not accept a second parameter like the server-side gs.getMessage() does?

(If it matters, we're currently on Eureka Patch 7.)

Hello Michael,

getMessage(String) on client side uses only one parameter vs gs.getMessage(String, Object) that can use a second parameter.

Sergiu could you please explain how you came to that conclusion? I am also curious by Michael's question and the reasoning behind why that is the case.

Hi Kiley,

I checked the source code to understand how the function works.

I hope this answers your question.

Sergiu

Ah ha, straight from the source! Thanks, Sergiu!

Kiley's second question is a good one, too: is there a particular reason (or reasons) behind limiting the client-side function in this way?
