Communicate important information to your users by adding an announcement banner to the top of your Refined site. For example, a banner can inform users of scheduled maintenance or an upcoming event.
You can show banners on an entire site or on specific pages.
Announcement banners added in JSM are not shown on Refined sites: you’ll have to create an announcement banner in Refined.
Create an announcement banner
Go to the Refined Administration.
Click Sites in the left-hand menu.
Pick the site you want to work with.
Go to the Audience Features tab.
Click + Create Announcement.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Title and message | The title and message of your announcement. |
Location | The announcement banner shows up on the page you select, and on all its child pages. As an overall rule of thumb, we advice to place the banner in a location where more than 50% of the visitors will benefit from the knowledge. |
Link URL and Link text | Add a link to the right side of the announcement banner. Adding only a Link URL will show that exact link in the banner. By also adding a Link text, you create clickable text that opens the link. |
Published | The banner is not visible on your site until you check this box to publish it. |
Closable | By default, active banners always stay visible while users browse the site. If you check this box, users can close the banner. |
Type | You can choose one of four banner types: warning, alert, info, and announcement. The icon and banner colour change depending on the banner type. |
