Errors, warnings and notices can be displayed from any component, module, plugin or template using the method outlined below (took me some time to figure this out, might help someone else):
//Get a handle to the Joomla!-application object $app =& JFactory::getApplication(); //add a message to the message queue $app->enqueueMessage(JText::_('Random error occured'), 'error');
The second argument to the enqueueMessage()-function is the type of message. Default is 'message', but 'error' gives a different style message. Try other types as well, to see how that works. The api for the JApplication-object can be found at: JApplication API The error message will now be displayed if the message-tag is present in your template. The message-field is added with the following statement in your template:
<jdoc:include type="message" />
