bootstrap_site_alert

Puts a site wide bootstrap themed alert message on the top of every page.

I made this module because some of the other existing modules came close in functionality. However, we didn't want to rely on blocks or panels or anything with a theme layer. We needed something fast and easy with a WYSIWYG enabled message and so this module was born. We use hook_page_alter (D7) / hook_page_top (D8) to display the message and so it is independent of any setup you may have on the site.

You will need a Bootstrap based theme to use this, For Bootstrap 4, I suggest Bootstrap Barrio. For Bootstrap 3, I suggest Kalatheme or Bootstrap.

People without Bootstrap
You can technically still use this, it just depends on the front end library Bootstrap for CSS / JS.

I did however add the CSS / JS in the Documentation for this module so EVERYONE can use it!

3.0.x replaces 8.x-1.x.

There is a clear distinction between 8.x-1.x and 8.x-2.x.

Upgrade from 8.x-1.x to 3.0.x

The 3.0.x is the recommended stable release to use for Drupal 10+. For those using 8.x-1.x you may safely upgrade to the semantic version release 3.0.x if you're on Drupal 10+.

Difference between 3.0.x & 8.x-2.x

  • The 3.0.x version is a config form that uses the state API based to render the alerts.
  • The 2.0 version is content based and uses a view to render the alerts.

Why the differences?

Basically the 2.0 version arose from a client request. They wanted content workflow and scheduling around the site alerts. Instead of spending a ton of time trying to get the existing module to do this, I made the content based version. Both versions are basically the same thing functionally.

  • If you want a simple non content based solution, then choose the 3.0.x version.
  • If you need a more robust version that uses node entities, then choose the 2.0 version.

Similar Modules

Site Alert - https://www.drupal.org/project/site_alert
This module was very close to what we wanted originally. We didn't need a date, something in a panel or block, and we needed a configurable WYSIWYG. Inspiration was drawn from this module. Good module though.

Sitewide Alert Message - https://www.drupal.org/project/sitewide_msg
Close, but didn't really hit the mark on what we needed like site_alert.

Alerts - https://www.drupal.org/project/alerts
Works by attaching an alert to individual nodes. No way for a site administrator to create a site wide alert.
