We are aware that this functionality is slated to be removed. It is not clear to me that the requirements for such functionality are uniform across different applications. It is my recommendation, at least, that messages for users when the request object is not in scope are best implemented in a 3rd party app. If needed, integration with the contrib.messages framework can be accomplished by implementing a custom storage, similar to the following: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/messages/storage/user_messages.py Cheers, Tobias -- Tobias McNulty, Managing Partner Caktus Consulting Group, LLC http://www.caktusgroup.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
