I have a form where after submitted it redirects to another page. I would like to have a message at the top of the new page based on the query param generated by the form. How could I conditionally insert a message at the top of my page? Example for params: /admin-dashboard/?QRAssigned=123&success=yes   On the page something like this: If query parm success=yes then "Congrats! you just assigned QR 123" endif

I was thinking of storing a bunch of messages in entries then pulling them up via a view. Ideally a person could click on an x and make the message disappear. Sort of like for certain plugins they add messages to the top of the admin area.

This approach will work, especially with the new Visual Views (which are awesome!). You can also create a custom shortcode to display what you want, but using a view will be easier.
