Posting notices to user dashboard

Vote 0 Votes

Hello there,

Is there a way to post notices, system-wide, to the Dashboard? Something along the lines with those yellow notices that new users see when they first logon about first posts etc.

TIA

Sok

    That's good to know. Thanks Byrne :)

  • Hey Byrne-

    Are you making it a plugin that uses the dashboard widget framework or are you building it into the core? Two features I would like to see are:
    *send message to select groups of people based on their permissions
    *allow the admin to decide if users are able to dismiss the message

  • +1 to jerm's request.

  • +1 - would love a small notepad-like feature in the dashboard - one of the older MT versions had the ability to change the welcome message, and I used that like a notepad.. was really really useful, would love to see something like this again too.

  • hmm what happened to my comment here?
    Ok again, would love to have a 'notepad' type of feature in the dashboard. An older MT version had a welcome message you could modify, and I used that like a notepad and found it really useful.
    Wonder if this comment will work now...

  • LOL ok now my original comment shows up as well as my new one, made 4 hours later..

  • oh boy.. on the main 'general' page, it shows my recent comment being made 03/17/08, the date of this original topic, whereas my comment was actually made on 04/24/08..

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
