BN_IT_Support Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 IPS style header block for displaying messages and links across the the top of your board. Use either the built in message formats or set you own custom formatting. Settings Show/Hide Message. Select which groups can see the message. 4 built in message formats. Custom message format including; icon, text colour and alignment, background colour. zhweb, SaltyBart, ric4rdo and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Meddysong Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) It looks great and I shouldn't complain about something that's free but it could be more useful for people with multilingual sites if the message were a translatable field. Maybe something to add in a future version Edited June 11, 2016 by Meddysong BN_IT_Support and MeMaBlue 2 Link to comment
Core4D Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Hi Edward, really nice plugin, thank you. Once note tho, for some reason Left,Centre and Right options doesn't work. My text is always on the left regardless what I do, any idea what could be a problem? Regards, Igor Edited June 12, 2016 by C4D Cafe Link to comment

At the moment the left, centre and right is only for the 'custom' setting. Your screenshot looks like one of the standard IPS styles which are always left or right aligned depending on your language direction. 8 hours ago, Meddysong said: It looks great and I shouldn't complain about something that's free but it could be more useful for people with multilingual sites if the message were a translatable field.

I agree though and will have a look. Core4D and Meddysong 2 Link to comment
Core4D Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks @Edward Shephard for explaining this. Arigato, Igor Link to comment
BN_IT_Support Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) New version 1.0.1 Message is now translatable for multi-lingual sites Note: Upgrading may remove the content of any existing message so I recommend that you copy what you have before upgrading. With thanks to @Adriano Faria and @CodingJungle for some tips and sample code. Edited June 12, 2016 by Edward Shephard Meddysong, CodingJungle and Adriano Faria 3 Link to comment
Meddysong Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thank you for taking on board my comment, Edward. I had a dev do one of these for me already but yours looks much better so I've made the jump! 10 hours ago, Edward Shephard said: This was an exercise for me to start learning the framework and, to ape a well known phrase, right now 'what you see is what I know'!

Hats off to you for getting stuck in. BN_IT_Support 1 Link to comment
EmpireKicking Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It works on the default theme very nicely, idea is to add links Link to comment

I have thought about changing the text areas used for inputing the message for the full wysiwyg editor so that adding some basic formatting and hyperlinks could be easier without having to manually add html tags. What do people think? Might just need to be careful not to get too carried away with fancy layouts or trying to add attachments. Link to comment

The editor's the next logical step, yep, allowing people to format certain parts of the message (with bold, etc) and add links, etc. Link to comment

Unlucky Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi, Although this works with the default theme it is not working with the one we have purchased from IPSfocus We have asked his advice and he needs to know the following... You may need to contact the developer, since I can't offer a solution without knowing the hook point. Link to comment

Meddysong Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I have something similar on my site, Edward. It's working on the regular apps, but not on my manually entered page. I'm not sure what the problem is because my manual page still contains the globalTemplate minus a container (so that my content can stretch full screen), and it still contains the necessary ipsLayout_header before which the plugin is added. You don't need to do anything for me, though - another header message plugin that I have also behaves like this. But it might be symptomatic of a problem with plugins, possibly? Link to comment
BN_IT_Support Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 I can't promise to support heavily modified themes but if you could perhaps send me a screenshot I can have a look. There are a couple of hook points above those that I have used so I may be able to move it up a bit if that is the issue? Link to comment
Unlucky Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi, I think the theme developer just needs the names of the hook points thanks BTW this is the theme http://www.ipsfocus.com/themes/subway/ Link to comment

Thanks Edward Link to comment
Unlucky Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi, Your header message is just not visible on the theme as if the plugin was not installed Link to comment
Meddysong Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Mine's not limited to your plugin, Edward, but I'll give you an example in the hope that it helps you. Your plugin works beautifully in all the apps and pages created using the suite wrapper: But when I create a page using a custom wrapper it doesn't appear: My custom wrapper is the globalTemplate, just with a few bits commented out so that my backgrounds can stretch full screen. It still contains #ipsLayout_header: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="{expression="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->bcp47()"}" dir="{{if member.language()->isrtl}}rtl{{else}}ltr{{endif}}"> <head> <title>{expression="output.getTitle( $title )"}</title> <!--[if lt IE 9]> {{foreach \IPS\Theme::i()->css( 'extra/ie8.css', 'core' ) as $css}}<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$css}">{{endforeach}} <script src="{url="applications/core/interface/html5shiv/html5shiv.js" base="none" protocol="\IPS\Http\Url::PROTOCOL_RELATIVE"}"></script> <![endif]--> {template="includeMeta" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""} {template="includeCSS" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""} {template="includeJS" if="theme.js_include != 'footer'" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""} {template="favico" app="core" group="global" location="front" params=""} </head> <body class='ipsApp ipsApp_front eabSite {{if isset( \IPS\Request::i()->cookie['hasJS'] )}}ipsJS_has{{else}}ipsJS_none{{endif}} ipsClearfix{{foreach output.bodyClasses as $class}} {$class}{{endforeach}} ' data-details="customWrapper" {{if output.globalControllers}}data-controller='{expression="implode( ',', output.globalControllers )"}'{{endif}} {{if isset( output.inlineMessage )}}data-message="{expression="output.inlineMessage"}"{{endif}} data-pageApp='{$location['app']}' data-pageLocation='front' data-pageModule='{$location['module']}' data-pageController='{$location['controller']}' itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebSite"> <meta itemprop="url" content="{setting="base_url"}">{{$lingvo = substr(\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->short, 0, 2);}} <a href='#elContent' class='ipsHide' title='{lang="jump_to_content_desc"}' accesskey='m'>{lang="jump_to_content"}</a> {template="offlineMessage" if="!settings.site_online && \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->group['g_access_offline']" app="core" group="global" params=""} <div id='ipsLayout_header' class='ipsClearfix'> {template="updateWarning" app="core" group="global" params=""} {template="lkeyWarning" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""} {{if !in_array('ipsLayout_minimal', \IPS\Output::i()->bodyClasses )}}{template="mobileNavBar" app="core" group="global" params=""}{{endif}} <header> <div class='ipsLayout_container'> {template="logo" app="core" group="global" params=""} {{if !in_array('ipsLayout_minimal', \IPS\Output::i()->bodyClasses )}}{template="userBar" app="core" group="global" params=""}{{endif}} </div> </header> {template="navBar" app="core" group="global" params=""} </div> <main role='main'> <!-- <div id='ipsLayout_contentArea'> <div id='ipsLayout_contentWrapper'> {template="breadcrumb" app="core" group="global" params="true, 'top'"} -->{template="sidebar" if="theme.sidebar_position == 'left'" app="core" group="global" params="'left'"} <!--<div id='ipsLayout_mainArea'> <a id='elContent'></a> {advertisement="ad_global_header"} {template="acknowledgeWarning" if="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->members_bitoptions['unacknowledged_warnings']" params="\IPS\Member::loggedIn()->warnings( 1, FALSE )" group="global" app="core"} -->{template="widgetContainer" group="global" app="core" params="'header', 'horizontal'"} {$html|raw} {template="widgetContainer" group="global" app="core" params="'footer', 'horizontal'"} <!--</div> {template="sidebar" if="theme.sidebar_position == 'right'" app="core" group="global" params="'right'"} {template="breadcrumb" app="core" group="global" params="false, 'bottom'"} </div> </div>--> {template="inlineMessage" if="member.msg_show_notification and $conversation = \IPS\core\Messenger\Conversation::latestUnreadConversation()" app="core" group="global" params="$conversation->comments( 1, 0, 'date', 'desc' )"} </main> <footer id='elWebsiteFooter' class=''> <div class='ipsLayout_container'> {advertisement="ad_global_footer"} {template="footer" app="core" group="global" params=""} </div> </footer> {{if !in_array('ipsLayout_minimal', \IPS\Output::i()->bodyClasses )}}{template="mobileNavigation" if="theme.responsive" app="core" group="global" params=""}{{endif}} {template="includeJS" if="theme.js_include == 'footer'" app="core" group="global" location="global" params=""} {{if settings.ipbseo_ga_enabled}} {setting="ipseo_ga"} {{endif}} {template="viglink" if="settings.viglink_enabled" app="core" group="global" params=""} {template="metaTagEditor" if="isset( $_SESSION['live_meta_tags'] ) and $_SESSION['live_meta_tags'] and member.isAdmin()" app="core" group="global" params=""} <!--ipsQueryLog--> <!--ipsCachingLog--> {expression="output.endBodyCode" raw="true"} </body> </html> So I don't think the problem is on your end.

BN_IT_Support Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Okay, well I have a bug fix and a couple of enhancements that I might issue later today so, I see that some of the these have put the usernav above the header so I could move the hook point right up to the top at <body> to see if that helps.

Unlucky Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 the skin guy just said this in case it helps Both Subway and Ortem use #ipsLayout_header though, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. Link to comment

Are you sure you've toggled the 'on' switch There is actually a bug in the group selector setting. It shouldn't cause this issue but in any case I will correct it in the next update either later today or tomorrow morning. Link to comment
