>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1510938. --> Reported by: [MrMaksimize](https://www.drupal.org/user/801596) >>> <p><strong>Description</strong><br> Noty_messages implements <a href="https://www.drupal.org%20http://needim.github.com/noty/">Noty Library</a> inside of the Drupal system, allowing the user to overtake some or all messages and display them similar to the growl messaging system. Normally it was meant for JQuery 1.7, but I wrote an <a href="https://github.com/needim/noty/commit/4ea9e9f24b5039b7206f1c20b44fda13b61b6411">addon</a> to be able to use it with older jquery versions.</p> <p><strong>Similar Projects</strong><br> There are no other modules for drupal that allow to use this specific library. A full <a href="http://drupal.org/project/noty">project</a> has been started by <a href="http://drupal.org/user/726092">iler</a> but he has graciously agreed to let me go through the review process in order to become a vetted user and has been added as the maintainer to this project instead. </p> <p>However, there are similar modules that implement this kind of functionality:<br> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/purr_messages">Purr Messages</a><br> Besides implementing a different library, this module does not provide the per - message type flexibility that this module does. It also provides rules integration which is on the roadmap for this module. It also does not use the queue or or delay systems in jQuery. Furthermore, there is no capability to provide custom buttons or callbacks (which while undocumented at the moment is possible to do in this module). I <strong>really</strong> like this module and believe it be a strong solution, however this module implements a different solution to a similar problem. </p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/growl_notify">Growl Notify</a><br> I did not do heavy research into this module's code, but it does rely heavily on notifications modules and messaging modules which is different than what this module is working to accomplish. Also there is no Drupal 7 Port.</p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/jgrowl">jGrowl</a><br> This implements the jGrowl library which is also a different beast. There is also no Drupal 7 port at the moment.</p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/better_messages">Better Messages</a><br> I saved the best for last. This module also does not implement the noty library, but is a worthy competitor indeed. The same level of customization can be achieved and you can even alter the template files. However, this library uses php templating for theming the messages which makes it much more robust. In noty messages, all the theming is done with CSS and the variables are passed directly through the message. PHP's involvement ends after the scripts are on the page which makes the messages much more flexible and callable. There are much more differences here, and I truly do not consider this module to be in the same category. Also there's no stable Drupal 7 Port.</p> <p><strong>Review Bonus<br> Run 1</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1463044#comment-5824828">Github Flavored Markdown</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1488834#comment-5834858"> Russian Beauty Calendar </a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1505706#comment-5834964"> Profile Visits </a></li> </ul> <p>Run 2</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1508170#comment-5835002"> mediaWrapper</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1254718#comment-5848452">Lognode</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1222472#comment-5848550">Simple Node Archive</a></li> <li><a href="http://drupal.org/node/1359162#comment-5848690">Google Identity Toolkit</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Project Links</strong><br> <a href="http://drupal.org/sandbox/MrMaksimize/1449608">Sandbox</a><br> <a href="http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/MrMaksimize/1449608.git">git repository viewer</a>: <a href="http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/MrMaksimize/1449608.git">http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/MrMaksimize/1449608.git</a><br> <strong>git clone url: </strong><a href="http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/MrMaksimize/1449608.git">http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/MrMaksimize/1449608.git</a></p> >>> [!note] Pre-migration files - [Screen shot 2012-03-31 at 10.23.59 PM.png](https://www.drupal.org/files/Screen%20shot%202012-03-31%20at%2010.23.59%20PM.png) >>>
