Issue

  • As a user, I would expect if toast success/error messages remain visible until user acknowledgement (until they are 'manually' closed) in order to make sure not to miss a single notification.
  • Current behavior: such messages disappear automatically in a few seconds.

Environment

  • DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • Inside $LIFERAY_HOME/$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/util-taglib.jar , adjust the file util-taglib/src/com/liferay/taglib/ui/success/toast.tmpl : 
    At line 16 (inside ClayToast creation), change the property autoClose from true to false.

Be aware that the original behavior is intended and the described change is considered as a customization. Therefore, could be overwritten in case a hotfix or fix pack is installed and the util-taglib.jar is also adjusted by them.
