Post an announcement
Post announcements to members' dashboards and, optionally, your public site.
Members see published announcements on their dashboard. Public ones also show on your public site.
Post one
You need announcements.manage and the CMS module.
- Open CMS, then Announcements, then New Announcement.
- Enter a Title (up to 120 characters) and a Markdown Body (up to 20,000 characters).
- Turn on Pin to keep it at the top, and Also show on public site to publish it publicly.
- Press Publish, or Save Draft to finish later.
Manage announcements
The list shows each announcement's audience (Members or Members + Public), its publish date or a Draft badge, and its author. Row actions are Pin or Unpin, Edit and Delete. Move To Draft takes a published announcement down without deleting it.
The public Announcements page shows pinned announcements first, then the newest, up to 50. The home page shows pinned ones and the newest five.
