[Mashup-dev] [jira] Commented: (MASHUP-646) Announcement improvements

[Jonathan Marsh (JIRA)]

    [ https://wso2.org/jira/browse/MASHUP-646?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18072#action_18072 ] 

Jonathan Marsh commented on MASHUP-646:
---------------------------------------

Updates to taskbar.jsp allows an announcement to be a list of <div>s (with class="announcement"), supporting announcementStartTime and announcementEndTime attributes.  The client will walk through and hide any that are outside this range.

So the only thing we don't have is an official "feed" for this, but that doesn't seem necessary at present, and could have perf and complexity issues, so I'm dropping that idea.  I have a mashup that can be used to easily edit the announcements and assign them easily to different projects.

> We would benefit from more fine-grained control over when announcements appear and disappear.  Since we have a 24-hour cache in place, some client intelligence seems appropriate.
> First flush design thoughts:
> 1) replace the HTML snippet we currently use with a feed.
> 2) annotate each item with a list of start/end times.
> 3) announcement reader filters out items outside of the start/end time windows.
> 4) announcement reader concatenates the remaining items and provides them to the UI.
