<p>On sites that have custom post types defined, it might be desired that when publishing (i.e., changing the status to publish) an additional post be created informing of this event. For example, in a site a defined post type could be <em>project</em>, and the ordinary posts are used as a news feed. This plugin can be used so that when a user creates a new <em>project</em>, the user is requested to create the announcement post. Additional to this plugin, a great companion can be one of the plugins that post to social networks, so that the announcement also gets propagated to these.</p>
<p>The usage of this plugin is quite simple. Only for the post types configured for announcements, when pressing the <em>Publish</em> button a modal box will appear, with fields to edit the announcement title and content. Once the post is in publish status, the announcement modal box will not appear anymore for any edits done the original post.</p>

<p>This plugin adds a jQuery file that will position a fixed bar at the top of your browser screen to show announcements (controlled by a custom post type [CPT]) on each page load. Built with simple HTML and javascript.</p>
<p>Upon installation, you can choose the prefix for your post type. Be sure to choose wisely, because once you publish your first post this can’t be changed. If you are having problems with redirects visit your <em>permalinks</em> page to flush your rewrite rules by visiting your permalinks settings page (no save needed).</p>
<p><strong>New</strong>: A cookie is added and deleted when you toggle the bar open and closed. Depending on the position of the bar when you leave the page is where it will be when you re-visit the site.</p>

<p><strong>The Link</strong><br />
Please be aware when publishing a post, as of right now, you have to fill in the content with non-html text and add a link into the link field. This link is really the permalink and is what gets counted when clicked on. It will also revert to the home page if missing, and not count against the counter. If you’re getting 404 issues when visiting the permalink page, please refer to the FAQ section.</p>
<h3>Future Releases</h3>
<p>This plugin is brand new and has some future planes.</p>
