ftw.globalstatusmessage 1.7.3

Shows a global message on every site.

Introduction

With ftw.globalstatusmessage a Plone site administrator display messages on all pages.

This is useful for inform the users about an upcoming maintance downtime or any other important thing.

The message can be changed in the plone control panel:

Exclude sites

With the Exclude sites option it is possible to show the global status message only for certain sub sites. All containers providing the interface INavigationRoot are considered sub sites. Make sure that the object_provides catalog index is up to date after enabling the interface for a container.

When having nested sub sites, the nearest parent sub site relative to the current context is relevant. If the nearest sub site is not excluded but a parent is excluded, the message is shown on the current context.

Supports Plone 4.3 and 5.1.
