Version history
- 2008-10-07: first one!
- 2009-03-11: manage the messages in the admin section.
- 2009-08-04: The txt messages files are now stored in $conf['cachedir'] (and no more in the plugin folder. Thanks to Christophe M). Improved compatibility of the admin screen with templates.
Discussion
- Tell me…
- It would be great to know where to put this in the DokuWiki directory structure. Sorry, I have a problem with the plugin manager not installing this plugin correctly.
- Zip up the plugin directory and any children, but no parents. Take a look at some other plugin packages to see how they are done. — Christopher Smith 2009/01/21 09:39
- It would be great to be able to manage these messages in the admin section. Not very friendly to edit the text file directly. Especially remotely. — Alexandre Fremion 2009/02/23 18:36
- This will be possible in a upcoming new version. — Etienne M. 2009/03/09 14:12
Make message dismissable
It would be nice to make the messages dismissable. Perhaps a checkbox besides each message in the admin section to toggle this function on/off. I personally see many use cases for this, but realise it is a long shot, considering that the developer hasn't updated his plugins in several years. Anyways, I am still happy with the plugin as it is now. Thanks! — Eivind 2016-01-09 16:35
Display based on time
While I'm at it, why not ask for time based messages as well? For instance, I'd like a message to appear only on a set date, and disappear the following day. I'm not expecting recurring messages, as that would likely be grounds for a new plugin, just the possibility to set a start and end time for each message. — Eivind 2016-01-09 16:44
