Great work @Shandeep !!
This is much needed for announcements in homepage on new features that are being built or mentioning about future application outages.
One query I have does this plugin work for edge browsers ?

@vinnysail,
Yes, It works on all browsers except Internet Explorer.

Thanks @Shandeep. Looking forward to use this plugin !!

Works like a charm! :smiley:

Thanks!

Are you open to pull requests in your repository? I think there’s a better placement for the banner that I’ve used in my own plugins previously.

The announcement text is working good when opening via spadmin. But when i am trying to login via a test account (Account not having admin capabilities), there is a popup asking me for username and password again and again, and i am not able to move ahead. Please suggest?

@shriya_agg ,

Thanks for reporting.
It has been fixed now.
Please get the latest Plugin Zip here

Before importing make sure to remove the old version from IIQ.

Great work dear @Shandeep !!
