<p>Breaking Bar is a simple plugin which monitors any chosen category for posts. If there are posts in that category,<br />
the plugin displays (via the [breaking-bar] shortcode) a prominent bar with the latest post from that category.<br />
If there are no posts in the chosen category, Breaking Bar stays hidden. Once the shortcode is in place, this allows<br />
editors and authors to add posts to the Breaking Bar simply by properly categorizing the post.</p>
<p>Current options include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Category selection</li>
<li>A text field for a custom label, (e.g. “Breaking” or “Latest”)</li>
<li>Color options for background, label(text) and link</li>
</ul>


Breaking Bar

A simple breaking news bar that monitors a chosen category and is displayed via a shortcode.

<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>
