This module simply convert the Drupal messages a nice floating layer style. It does not change the default style come with your theme, so that it would keep the style consistent along your site.

I found it quite annoying to have the message in floating style in the administer area , so I added a little options disable SPM in the admin area. To access to the setting pages, go to: admin/config/user-interface/spm

Features:

  • Look & Feel UI settings
  • Width setting of message dialog
  • Maximum height setting of message dialog
  • Show/Hide/Change title of dialog
  • Setting for enabling to drag the dialog either by using the title as the handler or the whole dialog box

Sorry, I didn't put more details. There's no D7 module that could simple make the system message to be a floating layer. This module is simple enough with some useful style settings as well.

I have just committed an update. I fixed all problems found in Coder, and added hook_uninstall() as well. Anyone would review this module?

Lots of those modules in that list say 'Displays messages in an in-browser HUD popup'.

Could you explain how this one is different please?

Actually there's no module that can simply convert messages into dialog in D7. The very popular one "nice messages" didn't come out a release for d7 yet. Nice messages is a very nice one that support d7, however, it doesn't come with settings such as color. Simple Popup Messages would allow coloring settings which I believe it would be much nicer for non-technical users to style the dialog box.

Please could you read our policy on duplicate and similar modules. Could the first one be upgraded? Could the second be improved?

I'm just wondering is it all similar modules will not be approved? Somehow, this module is really different than the others like user can customize the tpl file, and this is not rely on another js library except jquery.

I agree with joachim. This module is similar to other modules. Please combine your work. I had to do the same!

The applicant has been contacted to ask if the application is abandoned.

After ten weeks with a status of needs work: the applicant may be contacted by a reviewer to determine whether the application was indeed abandoned. The action taken by the reviewer should be documented in the project application issue.
