Place banners at the top of your sites to communicate important information to your users. You can show announcements on all sites or only on a specific site, category or space.
Add an announcement banner
Go to the Refined Administration.
Go to the Announcements tab.
Click + Create Announcement.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Message | The content of your announcement. |
Location | The announcement banner shows up on the location you choose, as well as all its child pages. From the dropdown menu you can select global (all sites) or login page. Alternatively, type to select a specific site, category, or space. |
Published | Check this to display the announcement: consider it a draft when it is not checked. |
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. |
Copy, edit or delete a banner
An announcement banner can be copied meaning that a new announcement will be created with the same information. This comes in handy when you have updates to an existing announcement, but users may have closed it down. Make a copy and delete the old one to push the message again.
