Project description

Add-on displaying manager defined messages in a viewlet

The three message types.

Features

Messages are defined in control panel.

Multiple messages can be displayed together in the viewlet.

A message contains the following configuration attributes:

  • text : displayed text in the viewlet

  • message type : info, warning, important (different layout in the viewlet)

  • can hide : if checked, the user can hide the message (mark as read)

  • start date : displaying start date (optional)

  • end date : displaying end date (optional)

  • required roles : use must have one of the required roles (optional)

  • location : full site or homepage only

The collective.behavior.talcondition is enabled, providing 2 attributes. * tal condition : optional tal expression evaluated on viewlet context * bypassing roles : optional roles bypassing the tal condition

The management interface.

A workflow is provided with the following states:

  • inactive : not displayed

  • activated for anonymous : displayed for anonymous users

  • activated for members : displayed only for authenticated users

  • activated for localroles : displayed only for authenticated users having local reader role

The hiding functionality uses a cookie. It is necessary to deactivate a message to “reset” the cookie. When activating again, the message will be displayed.

Improvements

  • Modify hidden_uid when some fields are changed: end when gone, can_hide (to unchecked), start when end is gone

  • Message definition from file system

  • Message definition from rss feed
