<?php if ($this->getBuffer('message')) : ?>

[Webdongle]

<?php if ($this->getBuffer('message')) : ?> is no longer needed in the Template because
libraries\joomla\document\html\renderer\message.php
now contains

// Build the return string
      $buffer .= "\n<div id=\"system-message-container\">";

Question is
Where to document it in the Joomla wiki ?

Would this page work?
http://docs.joomla.org/JDocumentHTML/getBuffer

Thanks Nick

That might do it, I was thinking of a page more specific to creating a Template.  But that would be a good place to put it.  Now I just have to work out the wording. So that it is accurate and correct.  I will need to word it to make it clear what's happening now  that prevents the IF of <?php if ($this->getBuffer('message')) : ?>  to not work. http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2566504#p2566504

The fact that the getBuffer('message') now has a value <div id="system-message-container">(etc.) was pointed out by someone else.  The <?php if(count(JFactory::getApplication()->getMessageQueue())):?> solution was sent to me in a PM. http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2566436#p2566436

That's why I would be more comfortable putting it on a page specific to Templates rather than a page dedicated to the code itself.  The one deals with usage the other with specifics.

Hey there, another solution is this:

<?php if(trim(strip_tags($this->getBuffer('message')))!=''): ?>

(its works in 1.5.x and 2.5.x)

hope this helps.
