Requirements

  1. For a site-wide/global announcement, it should appear on the landing page [see Picture 2].
  2. The message should link to an announcement thread allowing user comment.
  3. The message should appear like:

"Welcome to RGUNDEALS.com! Please read this critical announcement from nauticalmile (Admin)."

Where nauticalmile is dynamic field representing name of Admin who posted the global announcment

  1. These type of global announcements should only be allowed by Admin (not Mod or user)[see Picture 1].
  2. They should be configurable to allow for easy posting of future global announcements.
  3. User shall be able to comment on announcements [see Picture 2]
  4. Any admin can "lock" an global announcement thread, making it read-only.

This task is only for site-wide announcements which can only be published by Site Mods.

Forum mods will also need ability to post announcements at a forum-level. I create a separate issue for that task #87

Can probably adopt a nomenclature of admin/mod/user since we own all levels now ;P

@nautbot @tstiegler Some additional details here due to recent misunderstanding ...

The announcement needs to link to a submission on the "Announcements" Forum. See below screenshot for visual aid.

  1. Enable Global Announcment: Need to add a "Enable Global Announcment" checkbox so that admins have control over how long the announcement should be shown on landing page.

  2. Announcement header: Global header content goes here. This will appear as header on front page. You can have some default text here:
    "Welcome to RGUNDEALS.com! Please read this critical announcement from the Site Administrators"

  3. Announcement title: This will be the title of the post created in “Announcements Forum”.

  4. Global Announcement: Actual announcement content goes here. The content shown here will be the content to the new post created in the “Announcements Forum”. This should support markdown.

  5. Save changes:
    [if "Enable Global announcment" is true] Results in a global header being shown and a new post on "Announcements" Forum
    [else]: Results in a new post on "Announcements" Forum (identical outcome as an admin posting directly to Announcement forum.)
