Details
Memo is a plugin for Movable Type and Melody that can display a memo on the Edit Entry/Page screen, as well as a global message on all CMS screens.
Overview
Memo can: * display a global message on top of every CMS screen; * place a text box on top of the other widgets in the right column of the entries and pages edit screen. The memo display and text are customizable per blog.
Installation
- Download Memo.
- Uncompress and move the Memo directory to the MT
pluginsdirectory. More in-depth plugin installation instructions. - Customize your memo in the plugin preferences at the blog or site level.
Documentation
For each blog where you want a memo displayed, go to the plugin preferences and:
- Tick the “Display a memo on Edit Entry/Page screens” checkbox (unchecking it will prevent the memo to show up).
- Enter a short title (defaults to “Memo” otherwise).
- Enter the text of the memo (formatted as HTML). Hint: HTML
<p>...</p>paragraphs or<ul><li>...</li></ul>lists work best.
To display a global message on top of all screens in the CMS:
- Go to the global plugins page and click on the Memo Settings tab.
- Tick the “Display a global message” checkbox (unchecking it will prevent the message to show up).
- (Optional) enter a CSS Class to style the message using MT’s own CSS classes for messages (i.e. info, alert, error, beta).
- Enter the message (formatted as HTML) in “Message Body”. Note: this code will be wrapped into a
<div id="global-memo" class="msg msg-class">...</div>block, where class will be replaced by whatever you put into the CSS Class field above.
