Top Message Bar

Using Concrete / Help
1

Hello,

We are brand new to Concrete CMS, so please bear with our learning curve. We are trying to sort if Concrete CMS offers a “Top Message Bar” that goes above the Main “Top Bar”. So it would be used as an area to add something like a global link above the logo / menu / navigation Top Bar.

Any direction is appreciated, thank you!

Hey, welcome to the community.

ConcreteCMS as its name suggests is just the CMS.

There are many themes and addons you can use along with custom coding.

As far as i know there aren’t any themes that have that or blocks but i would be more than happy to knock a small block up for you to handle this? Plus i can tweak you theme and show you how easy that is.

Hi!

First, thank you so much for the quick response! And I just spoke to my boss, and he would be interested in getting your help. We will go ahead and contact via your site for a quote.

Thank you so much!

The navigation bar for most themes is a block in a global area. If your ‘message’ bar is global, you can simply add a content block to that area using the usual menus and place it before the navigation block.

If you are ok with coding all you need to do is either place a global or normal area in the top of you template.

Like this

<?php $a = new GlobalArea('Global Top Area bar'); $a->display(); ?>

If you want the same put that on every page or this if you want a certain thing on each page

<?php $a = new Area('Top Area bar'); $a->display(); ?>
