Switch from Jquery jGrowl to custom hotengine_notify module
As part of our performance improvement strategy, we have completely replaced JQuery jGrowl with pure JavaScript.
The new module hotengine_notify is our own solution that fully preserves the familiar notification logic, but removes unnecessary dependencies and heavy libraries from the project.
- Speed: No JQuery makes notification initialization instantaneous.
- Weight: The module code is reduced several times compared to the original plugin.
- Native: Full support for modern ES6+ standards.
Guide for developers and integrators
The hotengine_notify functionality is fully identical to jGrowl. If you used custom calls in your scripts, you only need to change the function name. All key parameters (life, header, sticky, theme) work the same way as before.
Usage examples
1. Basic call (Informational message)Simple notification that disappears automatically after 3 seconds.
hotengine_notify('Changes saved successfully');Use the error theme for critical errors. This message will not close until the user clicks the cross.
hotengine_notify('Access error to section', {
header: 'System interruption',
theme: 'error',
sticky: true
});Now you can easily execute code when closing the notification via beforeClose. Useful for working with cookies or sending statistics.
hotengine_notify('You have a new notification', {
beforeClose: function(el, msg) {
// Example: set a read cookie for 24 hours
document.cookie = "notify_read=1; path=/; max-age=86400;";
}
});Interface localization
All text elements (e.g., the “Close all” button) have been moved to CSS. The module automatically detects the page language via the lang attribute in the HTML tag. Currently supported:
- RU: [ Закрыть все ]
- UK: [ Закрити все ]
- PL: [ Zamknij wszystko ]
- EN: [ Close all ]
