Announcements

66 sites Security covered
View on drupal.org

This module adds a customizable announcement feature to your site. Announcements can have their own fields, display styles, and specific regions, and can optionally be dismissed by users. Their visibility can be controlled using Drupal's conditional system, similar to blocks, for flexible placement and targeting.

Version 2 - Drupal 9/10

This module has been rewritten for Drupal 9+. The module provides a custom field-able entity type which can be displayed within the site. Separately Display Styles and regions are use to control the design of the announcement and locations it displayed. Announcements are optionally dismissible based on the type/bundle. The availability for an announcement is controlled via the Drupal conditional system similar to blocks using the Condition Field module, which allows further customization and compatibility with other modules out of the box.

Installation

Currently there is a bug with the Condition Field module and the way that Drupal core handles loading base fields from the database. This causes conditional field values to go missing when loading the entity form. Please apply the patch in #3361903: Field value isn't set properly when using conditional field as base field or install the latest Development Release to get this to work properly.

Drupal 7

The Drupal 7 and prior releases are only minimally maintained.

This is an adaptation of the sample module writing article at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/i-osource6/. This module creates an "announcement" content type and provides both node views and block lists.

Translation

Translations should be contributed to http://localize.drupal.org/ now, and not provided in modules.

Issues

As with all contributed modules, when considering submitting an issue:

  1. Read the documentation (two or three times is better). Don't forget the handbook pages.
  2. Review the existing issues list. (Don't forget to select "<all>" for the "Status" field.)
  3. Gather all the appropriate information. This may include (but is not limited to):
  • Error messages, if any.
  • Drupal version.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Database type and version.
  • Module settings.
  • Submit the issue. If other modules are involved, you may need to submit the issue to those modules as well.
