Developer Notice.
While fixing a bug in the page builders in admin i ran into a situation where i needed a msgBox that could be manually closed. This function was created to solve that need, but i also went a little further with it than what i needed so it could do a lot more.
This new function will be available in the next version of Cheetah.
This is the info on the new function.
/**
* Function will generate an advanced Message Box. ;
*
* @param : $sText (string) Text to display in the message box. (Required) ;
* @param : $aOptions (array) Array of additional options to pass to function. (Optional) ;
*
* All params in the $aOptions array are optional. Below is the option arrays defaults.
*
* $aOptions = array(
* 'timer' => 0, // Time in seconds before box is closed automatically.
* 'onTimer' => '', // Javascript function to be called when close timer expires.
* 'showclosebtn' => false, // Show a close button at the bottom of the message box.

function advMsgBox($sText, $aOptions = array())
Below are examples of how to use it, and a photo of the result.
Example 1: (Default options)
advMsgBox('This block has no properties');
Example 2: (With title)
$aOptions = array(
'showtitle' => true,
'titletext' => 'Info!',
);
advMsgBox('This block has no properties', $aOptions);
Example 3: (With title and close X in title)
$aOptions = array(
'showtitle' => true,
'titletext' => 'Info!',
'showtitleclose' => true,
);
advMsgBox('This block has no properties', $aOptions);
Example 4: (With title and close X in title and a close button)
$aOptions = array(
'showtitle' => true,
'titletext' => 'Info!',
'showtitleclose' => true,
'showclosebtn' => true,
);
advMsgBox('This block has no properties', $aOptions);
Example 5: (With title and close X in title and a close button and icon)
$aOptions = array(
'showtitle' => true,
'titletext' => 'Info!',
'showtitleclose' => true,

'showicon' => true,
);
advMsgBox('This block has no properties', $aOptions);

'icon' => 'exclamation-triangle',

'showtitleclose' => true,
'showclosebtn' => true,
'showicon' => true,
'icon' => 'check',
'class' => 'MsgBoxSuccess ch-def-font-large',
'titleclass' => 'MsgBoxTitleSuccess ch-def-font-large',
);
advMsgBox('This block has no properties', $aOptions);
Given you can pass your own class to the message box, title, icon and button, the number of combinations you can dream up could be endless.
For any messages that are simple and don't require a title or close button such as the first example, please use the normal msgBox function. This advMsgBox function should only be used when these extra options are needed.
