A WordPress Customise Widget to add a global website banner, styled using a Bootstrap alert box.

The plugin assumes that you’re already using Bootstrap, so you need to load the Bootstrap javascript and CSS separately.

Download Twitter Bootstrap
Bootstrap CDN (directly link CSS and javascript files)
Bootstrap Alerts in action

Once installed, you can add the alert to the correct location in your theme (for example, in header.php with the global_bootstrap_banner() function.
For example:

if (function_exists('global_bootstrap_banner')){
    echo global_bootstrap_banner();
}

If you prefer, you can use a shortcode instead:

[global-bootstrap-banner]

Shortcode Options

The plugin works best when using the Customizer interface. However, if you wish you can use a shortcode and override most fields.

enabled (default true)
- Whether to show the banner or not.
colour (default alert-primary)
- Bootstrap class to use for styling the alert.
header_text
- Header – leave blank to skip the alert header.
body_text
- Main text for the alert. You can use HTML.
link_text
- Display text for a button at the bottom of the alert. Leave blank to skip.
link_url
- URL for button to link to.
link_class (default btn-primary)
- Bootstrap class to use for styling the button.
link_new_window (default false)
- Whether to open the link in a new window or not.
link_btn_lg (default false)
- Use the btn-lg class for the button (big button).
link_btn_sm (default false)
- Use the btn-sm class for the button (small button).
link_btn_block (default false)
- Use the btn-block class for the button (full width button).
dismiss_btn (default true)
- Whether to show a dismiss button in the corner of the alert.
dismiss_expiry (default 14)
- How many days the dismissal cookie should last for before it is shown again.
dismiss_id
- Random string to use for the dismissal cookie. Use a new one to force it to show for everyone.
alert_before (default
)
- HTML to use before the alert.
alert_after (default

)

HTML to use after the alert.

header_before (default

)

HTML to use before the heading.

header_after (default )

HTML to use after the heading.

link_before (default

HTML to use before the button.

link_after (default )

HTML to use after the button.

For example, a simple shortcode usage would be:

[global-bootstrap-banner body_text="This alert says something different"]

Note that the shortcode first takes the settings from the Customizer and then overwrites these.
So the above shortcode would show a header if it is set in the Customizer settings.
