In January 2010 I released Status Messages Alter, my first Drupal module released to the community. I’ve created many modules over the years, I finally had the time to give something back to my fellow Drupal enthusiasts. I’m very excited about this.

What does this module do?

The module provides developers with a new hook called hook_message_alter. This hook comes handy when you have annoying messages being displayed and you want to get rid of them, or if you want to have your own custom code fire off when specific messages occur. This is an api module and does not offer any kind of theming. You’re allowed to override that yourself. I’ll explain that later.

How do I install the module?

Simply place the module in your modules directory and enable the module. If you’re upgrading from a previous version, you may see a warning message. This warning message is there to notify you that you may have to check your other enabled modules that implement hook_message_alter for compatibility. This isn’t really going to be an issue because only a few people downloaded that first release :)
