How To Make A Change To The Bottom Right Message Method?

Hello,

It's hard to find anything about it because words "error" and "message" are really popular.

My question is - I am using a form plugin and for validation it is using near the inputs places but there are some kinds of errors it uses - the producer showed me the URL: https://docs.joomla.org/Jdoc_statements#Message

So I guess I could stylize it, etc. but is there a way to actually change the place of such messages? Bottom right with an X to close is not the best choice... I'd rather have it near the form, or in a position of my choice or something.

Could you guys comment on this? https://dev.webastyczny.pl/message.png

this one says empty passwords are not allowed...

Hi,

What you're seeing (the bottom-right box with the X) is a "toast notification" style that Helix Ultimate uses to display system messages, rather than the older inline message block. It's positioned using a fixed container so it floats over the page instead of sitting inline with your form.

You can absolutely reposition it — no core file changes needed. Just add a bit of custom CSS through Template Manager → your Helix Ultimate style → Custom CSS/JS tab (this way it survives future template updates):

To move the toast to a different spot on screen (e.g. top-center instead of bottom-right):

#system-message-container {
    position: fixed;
    top: 20px;
    left: 50%;
    right: auto;
    bottom: auto;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    max-width: 400px;
}

To make it appear inline near your form instead of floating (sounds like what you actually want):

#system-message-container {
    position: static;
    max-width: 100%;
    z-index: auto;
}

Switching it from fixed to static/relative drops it back into the normal page flow, so it renders right where the framework places it in the markup — typically just above your form/component area.

Could you open your browser's dev tools on that page and confirm the exact ID/class wrapping the message box? Depending on your Helix Ultimate version it's usually #system-message-container, but if it's named slightly differently we'll need to adjust the selector above to match. If after switching to static it's still not landing next to the form, that would mean JS is physically moving the element elsewhere in the DOM — in that case let us know and we'll point you to the right place to adjust that behavior.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks

if this message is rendered by

<jdoc:include type="message" />

it is called from

\plugins\system\helixultimate\layouts\frontend\conponentarea.php

which would render the message on top of the component area

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the details. To better understand the issue and check how the message is being generated and displayed, could you please share the URL of the page where this form is available?

Also, could you let us know which form extension/plugin you are using for this form? This will help us determine whether the message is coming from Joomla's default message system or from the extension's own validation handling.

Once we have these details, we can investigate the best way to adjust the message position or behavior.

Thanks

But they are saying to contact you because the template steers the placement of the message.

I think I will handle this.

So it's normally above component but you steered and styled it with CSS.

OK! I will fiddle with it.

Thank you VERY much mate!
