Creating an announcement bar across top of site

Katrina Crocker 2 · May 2018

I want to create an announcement bar across all of the templates of our site to announce our website will be going down for a server upgrade, however we have javascript built into the design that forces our address information, search bar and login form to jump to the top of the screen, so when I add a formatted text part, it is being covered up by those features. Any ideas? Our website is cnycf.org.

Here is a screnshot of what is happening:

I found a solution by putting the bar below all of the javascript parts. Its not across the top of the site as I wanted, but this will do. Thanks!

It ends up in the sidebar on the right when you click other menu options. One thing you might consider is adding it to your logo part if you can, just below the image. Then it is always on top and should be seen on each page more easily:

I've recently had to do this to add a cookies consent bar to the top of our BBNC site. The way I did it was to add a new content container to the layout of the template (to avoid destroying the existing layout I had to add a div using the code view and put the content container in that). Once that's in place you can add parts to the container in the template or page designers.
