Site Status Message

This module displays a customizable notification or warning message at the top of every page on your website. It can include an optional link for more details and offers submodules for scheduling, changing appearance, and managing external links.

This module displays a simple message on the top of all pages on your site which can be used as a notification or warning. It was completely inspired by the Drupal.org downtime message displayed in October 2013 before the update of Drupal.org from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.

Features

  • Highlight important information at the top of each page so users have no excuse to claim they have not seen your awesome message!
  • Add an optional link to display more information
  • Show on all pages of the site including Admin areas
  • HTML template so themers can't complain
  • Submodules included to enhance the features of this module including scheduling messages, changing the colour/status type, and external links for the more information page (D7 only currently)

Requirements

The Drupal 7 version will work on any Drupal 7 site, with minimal configuration needed.

The Drupal 8 version is still a release candidate and not fully tested yet.

The Drupal 9/10 version is a completely new rewrite and is ready for testing. (Feb 2023)
