Notices
Use Notices to place a site-wide banner above or below the header on your club website.
What Notices is for
- sharing a time-sensitive update near the top of the website
- showing rich text content such as schedule changes, deadlines, or reminders
- turning the banner on or off with an Active checkbox and optional dates
Where the notice appears
Each notice includes a Position setting with two options:
- Above Header
- Below Header
The current implementation renders the active notice with the site header, so it appears in the same general place across the public-facing site.
Main fields
- Name is for internal use only.
- Position controls whether the banner appears above or below the header.
- Activation Date can delay when the notice starts showing.
- Deactivation Date can automatically stop the notice later.
- Background Color controls the banner color.
- Content uses the rich text editor for the visible message.
- Active turns the notice on or off.
How the active timing works
The current notice logic only treats a notice as active when all of these are true:
- Active is checked.
- Activation Date is blank or has already been reached.
- Deactivation Date is blank or has not passed yet.
This lets you prepare a notice in advance or let it expire automatically without needing to return and remove it right away.
Important current limit
Although you can create more than one notice record, the current frontend only shares the first active notice it finds.
In practice, it is safest to keep only one notice active at a time if you want predictable website output.
Practical workflow tips
- Use short, direct wording so the notice is easy to read quickly.
- Set a Deactivation Date for temporary announcements.
- Turn older notices off when they are no longer needed.
- If you are testing multiple notices, avoid leaving more than one active at the same time.
