<p>A WordPress Customise Widget to add a global website banner, styled using a <a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/alerts/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bootstrap alert box</a>.</p>
<p>The plugin assumes that you’re already using Bootstrap, so you need to load the Bootstrap javascript and CSS separately.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://getbootstrap.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Download Twitter Bootstrap</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bootstrap CDN</a> <em>(directly link CSS and javascript files)</em></li>
<li><a href="https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/alerts/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bootstrap Alerts in action</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Once installed, you can add the alert to the correct location in your theme (for example, in <code>header.php</code> with the <code>global_bootstrap_banner()</code> function.<br />
For example:</p>
<pre><code>if (function_exists('global_bootstrap_banner')){
    echo global_bootstrap_banner();
}
</code></pre>
<p>If you prefer, you can use a shortcode instead:</p>
<pre><code>[global-bootstrap-banner]
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcode Options</h4>
<p>The plugin works best when using the Customizer interface. However, if you wish you can use a shortcode and override most fields.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>enabled</code> <em>(default <code>true</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Whether to show the banner or not.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>colour</code> <em>(default <code>alert-primary</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Bootstrap class to use for styling the alert.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>header_text</code>
<ul>
<li>Header – leave blank to skip the alert header.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>body_text</code>
<ul>
<li>Main text for the alert. You can use HTML.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_text</code>
<ul>
<li>Display text for a button at the bottom of the alert. Leave blank to skip.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_url</code>
<ul>
<li>URL for button to link to.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_class</code> <em>(default <code>btn-primary</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Bootstrap class to use for styling the button.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_new_window</code> <em>(default <code>false</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Whether to open the link in a new window or not.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_btn_lg</code> <em>(default <code>false</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Use the <code>btn-lg</code> class for the button (big button).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_btn_sm</code> <em>(default <code>false</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Use the <code>btn-sm</code> class for the button (small button).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_btn_block</code> <em>(default <code>false</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Use the <code>btn-block</code> class for the button (full width button).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>dismiss_btn</code> <em>(default <code>true</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>Whether to show a dismiss button in the corner of the alert.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>dismiss_expiry</code> <em>(default <code>14</code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>How many days the dismissal cookie should last for before it is shown again.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>dismiss_id</code>
<ul>
<li>Random string to use for the dismissal cookie. Use a new one to force it to show for everyone.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>alert_before</code> <em>(default <code><div class="global-bootstrap-banner container"></code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>HTML to use before the alert.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>alert_after</code> <em>(default <code></div></code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>HTML to use after the alert.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>header_before</code> <em>(default <code><h4 class="global-bootstrap-banner-heading alert-heading"></code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>HTML to use before the heading.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>header_after</code> <em>(default <code></h4></code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>HTML to use after the heading.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_before</code> <em>(default <code><p class="global-bootstrap-banner-btn-p mb-0"></code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>HTML to use before the button.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>link_after</code> <em>(default <code></p></code>)</em>
<ul>
<li>HTML to use after the button.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, a simple shortcode usage would be:</p>
<pre><code>[global-bootstrap-banner body_text="This alert says something different"]
</code></pre>
<p>Note that the shortcode first takes the settings from the Customizer and then overwrites these.<br />
So the above shortcode would show a header if it is set in the Customizer settings.</p>

<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gW2KHrT_a7U?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span>
<h4>DEFAULT WORDPRESS EMAILS OVERWRITE</h4>
<p>Now, with this plugin, you can easily disable default WordPress emails and replace them with your own. To do that you can use our awesome Wizard which will guide you through the process.</p>
<h4>HOW DOES IT WORK</h4>
<p>The Notification plugin is built with three main components:</p>
<ul>
<li>Trigger – a WordPress action, ie. User registration or Post publication</li>
<li>Carrier – the thing which is being sent, ie. Email or Push</li>
<li>Merge Tag – dynamic content, ie. {user_email} or {post_permalink}</li>
</ul>
<p>You can use them in any combination, adding as many Notifications as you want. They can be sent to multiple Recipients with the content you write.</p>
<p>The process is simple:</p>
<ul>
<li>You select the Trigger</li>
<li>Compose your message with Merge Tags</li>
<li>Set Recipients</li>
<li>Save the Notification</li>
</ul>
<p>From now on the Notification is working. Test it out and add more!</p>
<h4>PERFECT FOR DEVELOPERS</h4>
<p>The Notification plugin is easy to set in the WordPress Admin, but it’s even easier to extend with some sweet API.</p>
<p>You can create your own Triggers with any WordPress action. If you do in your code <code>do_action( 'my_plugin_doing_awesome_thing' )</code> you can create a Trigger out of it.</p>
<p>This allows you to use the Notification plugin as a notification system in your own plugin or theme. How? Well, because of two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can easily load it by copying the plugin files and including <code>load.php</code> file. A function known from Advanced Custom Fields plugin.</li>
<li>You can white label the plugin with just one function which is shipped in the plugin’s core. For free.</li>
</ul>
<p>How easy extending the Notification plugin is? Let’s see:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding another Merge Tag to existing trigger – 1 line of code</li>
<li>Creating custom Trigger – one intuitive class definition and registration with a single method call</li>
<li>Defining Global Merge Tag – 1 line of code</li>
<li>Creating new Extension – we have a <a href="https://github.com/BracketSpace/Notification-Extension-Boilerplate/" rel="nofollow ugc">Boilerplate</a> ready for you to start hacking</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://docs.bracketspace.com/notification/developer/general" rel="nofollow ugc">See the developer documentation</a> if you don’t believe us.</p>
<h4>DEFAULT RECIPIENTS</h4>
<p>The plugin comes with few registered by default recipient types for Email Carrier:</p>
<ul>
<li>Email address or Merge Tag – free type email address or a Merge Tag</li>
<li>Administrator – takes an email from General Settings page</li>
<li>User – takes an email from WordPress user profile</li>
<li>Role – notify all Users having selected role at once</li>
</ul>
<h4>DEFAULT TRIGGERS</h4>
<p>These are already defined in plugin’s core and are ready to use. You can enable or disable them on the Settings page.</p>
<p>WordPress:</p>
<ul>
<li>Available updates – sent as often as you set them, ie. every week</li>
