>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2116509. --> Reported by: [ajosephau](https://www.drupal.org/user/2543514) >>> <h2>Module description</h2> <p>The site banner module allows a site builder to display a banner at the top and bottom of a Drupal 7 site. It is fixed (or "sticky") to the top and bottom of the visitor's browser (much like how the administrator's toolbar is fixed to the top of the site administrator's browser) when scrolling through the site's content. It also repeats the top and bottom text on printed copies of a site's content. My clients required the ability to define the sensitivity of their Drupal site's content on the site and on printed copies.</p> <p>It is intended for site builders who host sensitive content on their Drupal site and need to make visitors aware of the sensitivity of the content the visitors are seeing. This module also integrates with the Context module, so if the sensitivity of the content changes then the banner text would need to change accordingly. For example, the Site banner module will combine multiple active contexts tagged with the same tag together with common prefixes and suffixes.</p> <p>More information and screenshots are available on my project's sandbox page.</p> <h2>Project sandbox page</h2> <p><a href="https://drupal.org/sandbox/ajosephau/2105389">https://drupal.org/sandbox/ajosephau/2105389</a></p> <h2>Git repository link</h2> <p>git clone <a href="http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/ajosephau/2105389.git">http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/ajosephau/2105389.git</a> site_banner</p> <p><a href="http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/ajosephau/2105389.git/shortlog/refs/heads/7.x-1.x">http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/ajosephau/2105389.git/shortlog/refs/heads/7.x-1.x</a></p> <h2>Similar modules</h2> <ul> <li>Development Banner (<a href="https://drupal.org/project/dev_banner">https://drupal.org/project/dev_banner</a>) is a great module for developers and site builders to switch between test and production sites, but my client had a specific need for a text-only banner at the top and bottom of a page that appears on screen and in print. It also had a fixed image set (dev, stage and test), whereas my clients' administrators needed the ability to write plain text into the site banner.</li> <li>Environment indicator (<a href="https://drupal.org/project/environment_indicator">https://drupal.org/project/environment_indicator</a>) is another great module for site builders and developers switching between test and production sites. Once again, my clients had the specific need of having banners at the top and bottom of the screen: this module only displays the banner on the top or bottom, but not both. It would also appear that the banner is only displayed on the top if the user has the toolbar active which an anonymous visitor would not need (or want) to see - but would need to see the banner itself. In addition, the module does not have integration with the Context module (which was a client need): I did not want to add context integration functionality to the Environment indicator module as I felt it would compromise Environment Indicator's wide availability. Furthermore my client wanted a very minimal amount of Javascript as possible which I have tried to do in my module. </li> </ul> <p>Whilst both modules are brilliant in their individual respects, I wanted to avoid scope creep by adding unrelated capability (specifically the rather specific Context integration) to their modules. Hence the new project submission.</p> <h2>Developer background</h2> <ul> <li>I have built and maintained several Drupal sites.</li> <li>This is the first Drupal module I have written (hence the project application), but I have treid to stick to the Drupal module development norms by writing some automated tests and running my code through pareview.sh. </li> <li>I have foundation skills in the Drupal API, PHP and SQL.</li> </ul> <h2>Known issues</h2> <p>Integrating with the Context module means that several issues relating to function names are generated, but because these are hooks into the Context module I can't resolve them. The warning for "string literals passed to t()" is generated as I generate supporting description text to support authoring contexts based on validated input.</p> <pre>FILE: ...pal-7-pareview/pareview_temp/site_banner_context_reaction_functions.inc<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>FOUND 8 ERROR(S) AND 3 WARNING(S) AFFECTING 11 LINE(S)<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>17 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerText::options_form" is<br>| | not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>57 | WARNING | Only string literals should be passed to t() where possible<br>69 | WARNING | Only string literals should be passed to t() where possible<br>78 | WARNING | Only string literals should be passed to t() where possible<br>91 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerText::options_form_submit"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>112 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerBackgroundColor::options_form"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>120 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerBackgroundColor::options_form_validate"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>129 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerBackgroundColor::options_form_submit"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>161 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerTextColor::options_form"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>169 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerTextColor::options_form_validate"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>178 | ERROR | Public method name<br>| | "SiteBannerContextReactionChangeBannerTextColor::options_form_submit"<br>| | is not in lowerCamel format, it must not contain underscores<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</pre><h2>Reviews of other projects</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/node/2116843#comment-7987931">https://drupal.org/node/2116843#comment-7987931</a></li> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/node/2114381#comment-7988065">https://drupal.org/node/2114381#comment-7988065</a> </li> <li><a href="https://drupal.org/node/2116923#comment-7988149">https://drupal.org/node/2116923#comment-7988149</a> </li> </ul>
