How do I post a site wide broadcast?

This can be done using the button_bar.vm template in the look project.

To add a site wide broadcast, you need to check out the branding repository from the look project. Add a templates'directory and the path into the button_bar.vm file.

The button_bar.vm template can be downloaded from the sample branding bundle available at:

http://collab.net/community/cif/csfe/51/BrandingBundle-Basic.zip or http://collab.net/community/cif/csfe/51/BrandingBundle-Basic.tar.gz

Edit the default button_bar.vm template and add your message to the top as shown in the following code sample:

<p><font color=#ff0000>Site Maintenance Planned</font></p> pfont color=#ff0000>Site Maintenance Planned/font>/p>

Add your message before the <form> tag at the top, and commit the changes to the repository.
