This error concerns the Dismiss button:

This error occurs here:

elif request.method == 'DELETE':
    raise NotImplementedError()

This banner was added in this MR. But the backend part was not prepared for this at all.

Hello, @muhammadadeeltajamul, You have been working on this task. Can you tell me if there are plans to continue this work? Would it be possible to add a variable to control the display of the banner? It could help manage user preferences or control this content. As I understand it, in the current implementation the Dismiss button is not needed at all.

Hey @DmytroAlipov I was looking into this issue, but unable to understand the relation between this Warning popup and the code you have linked. I tried to reproduce this issue but nothing happens even it didn't sent out any request to the studio/lms server.

Hi @qasimgulzar But if you reload the page, the banner will be displayed again.

@DmytroAlipov can we find the original issue under which this banner was added, so we can better understand the intention. You are right on refresh it appears again.

Note: We have notifications in openedx to maintain user specific state of the notification. Ideal that would have to be reused here. I can take care of it you are think the same?

In my opinion, it is best to do as it is implemented for this banner. Here, when you click Dismiss, the backend works.

After the Dismiss button for the top banner is pressed, this top banner no longer appears after the page reloads
