Exclude sites

With the Exclude sites option it is possible to show the global status message only for certain sub sites. All containers providing the interface INavigationRoot are considered sub sites. Make sure that the object_provides catalog index is up to date after enabling the interface for a container.

When having nested sub sites, the nearest parent sub site relative to the current context is relevant. If the nearest sub site is not excluded but a parent is excluded, the message is shown on the current context.

Allow automatic activation

With the Allow automatic activation? option active it is possible to show and hide the global status message in automatic. By default, there is no logic defined for this option. You can define your own utility to specify the logic for the automatic activation as described bellow.

Under overrides.zcml register a utility as shown bellow:

<utility
    name="ftw.globalstatusmessage:automatic_enable"
    provides="ftw.globalstatusmessage.interfaces.IStatusMessageAutomaticEnable"
    factory="mypackage.utilities.StatusmessageAutomaticEnable" />

and create a factory class for the automatic enable logic:

from ftw.globalstatusmessage.interfaces import IStatusMessageAutomaticEnable
from zope.interface import implements

class StatusmessageAutomaticEnable(object):
    """ Global status message utility for automatic enable
    """
    implements(IStatusMessageAutomaticEnable)

    def __call__(self):
        return True

Show on login form

With the Show on login form? option active the global status message will appear only on the login_form for the anonymous users. This option can be useful for example when you want to inform your editors that the CMS login is closed for maintenance. You can define your own utility to specify the logic for detecting the login form as described bellow.

Under overrides.zcml register a utility as shown bellow:

<utility
    name="ftw.globalstatusmessage:show_on_login"
    provides="ftw.globalstatusmessage.interfaces.IStatusMessageShowOnLogin"
    factory="mypackage.utilities.StatusmessageShowOnLogin" />

and create a factory class for the show on login form logic:

from ftw.globalstatusmessage.interfaces import IStatusMessageShowOnLogin
from zope.interface import implements

class StatusmessageShowOnLogin(object):
    """ Global status message utility for show on login form
    """
    implements(IStatusMessageShowOnLogin)

    def __call__(self):
        return True
