drupal_set_message() has a $repeat parameter.

See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_set_message/6

You can check

$_SESSION['messages']

as that's where Drupal stores the messages.

I have some functions which throw info messages like "options saved". Sometimes I call them more than once, sometimes I call some of them; but I want the message appear just once. Where can I store if a message have been saved?

Something like: <?php

global $once_messages;

$message="options saved"; if (!$once_messages[$message]) {  once_messages[$message]=TRUE;  drupal_set_message($message); }

?>

Any hint?

thanks.

I have a custom type that is made up of various CCK fields and my users are then able to add new nodes of this type to his website. One of the fields is a CCK text options widget. The problem I have is that I do not know how I can set it up, so that the user is able to add new options. Lets take a 2nd hand car dealer as an example. A car node has a "Fuel Type" field, and the dealer has the option of selecting "Diesel" or "Petrol" from a drop down. Now, what happens when he gets in an electric car? The user does not have the skills to edit the node type directly. And I do not want to have to go in every time and add a new Fuel Type option. Of course, the example of fuel type will rarely happen. But what happens when we have a field that he may add to monthly? The Taxonomy_Other module does exactly what I want, except in this case these fields really should be fields, and not categories. So, is there a module that does what Taxonomy_Other does, but to CCK options fields?

Now, what happens when he gets in an electric Car? The user does not have the skills to edit the node type directly. And I do not want to have to go in every time and add a new Fuel Type option. I'd create a admin settings page for your site in a custom module, allow the user to define values in a text area, one per line as per the CCK field and then create function to return these. Use this function in the allowed values field on the CCK setup. Kind of duplication but lets the user change the values without being overwhelmed by all of the extra CCK widget/field settings. Hope this makes sense.
