[solved] Warning Message Feature

[aixnr]

As seen here on Lowyat.NET Hardware Subforum, I thought it is cool if NodeBB has this kind of feature to display "warning message" just after the header before the thread list.

Already possible. (Sort of) You can only apply header widgets to global, so I noticed on the page you supplied that the text inside changed per page. We would have to ask someone like @psychobunny to implement homepage header and category header independently if you wanted it to change.

Edit: Forgot to actually tell you how to do it. Go to ACP>Templates>Widget, drag the HTML widget into Global Header and add your rules in there. then drag a style from further down into the bottom of the 3 boxes.

Thanks a lot for the tips. I guess it would be helpful if NodeBB has the ability to implement the header widget independently according to specific tag / subforum. Thanks again

I wonder what fanboyism means...

You could theoretically change the message using JavaScript:

var someMessage = '';

if (ajaxify.variables.get('category_id') === 1) {
  someMessage = 'Welcome to Category 1, aka Announcements!'   
}

$('#someDiv').html(someMessage)

Don't stare me like that hahahaha.

I know it is blasphemy to reply/reopen an old thread, but I think I have some sort of workaround for this. Say that per-category header warning message is 1) not going to be as native functionality, or 2) still waiting for plugin for that, I think a pinned thread atop all threads would suffice.
