Enhancement: Display admin notifications #185

Closed giesselmann closed 12 months ago

giesselmann commented 12 months ago

Hi,

I have a low-prio enhancement idea: Would it be possible, to display notifications for all users e.g. a banner below the top navigation panel? Background: after a maintenance we had some problems with job-imports and it would be great to inform users not via Mail but directly on the page. Could also be used to announce updates/downtimes etc.

Implementation could be a background thread reading ./var/notify.txt periodically and updating a config field with the content. Would be easy to control as echo hi users > ./var/notify.txt

Would it be sufficient to show the banner on the homepage, means the page with the cluster list at the top? I would not need a background thread. I can just check if the file exists on every homepage render and then enable a banner in the template in case it does.

Yes! Anything that is not on the login page since users might be logged in for quite a while. Thanks!
