[Resolved] Remove Close on SItewide Notices

    On the widget for Sitewide Notices, once you close it, it never shows up again. When I want to let new users know there is no spam allowed, I don’t want them to just close the message, because they will never see it again. That is a no no for trying to stop members from doing things, because if you are warning them that their account will be deleted, they can just say they never saw the message.

    Is there a way you can have an option in BuddyPress or in the widget for an option to either have members close or not to close the sitewide notices. There is no option for it anywhere on BuddyPress at all. I even looked in the widget code, and nothing. I think if this is as important as spam warnings, this is an important feature.

    I mean if its a admin notice for all users, it should never be able to close for regular members. It should stick like a sticky thread in a forum. This would probably have members that are tired of spam too, agree with this also. I just had a member sign up on my website, and immediately they just created 7 spam groups for their business. I would like them not able to close warning messages to the whole site of members. I can understand like admin able to close it, but not the rest of the members.

    @utahman1971 hi there, i was reading your problem and i am a little confused to be honest!

    I mean if its a admin notice for all users, it should never be able to close for regular members. It should stick like a sticky thread in a forum.

    If you want a permanent notice to show without users being able to close it would it not be better to just add a text widget and add your own styling to make it stand out as a permanent reminder?

    I rather do just install a widget, then go across google to find ways to do it in a text html styling. If there is a widget of plugin. I rather do that first.

    Thanks danbp, you are the man for showing something better than wasting time trying to code in a text widget.

    This is a widget that came with BuddyPress, and seems to me that with that comment up there, sounds like they rather have me do the work than just take a close button out of there own widget. Not like an adult way, sounds more like I am child and don’t want to do it attitude. Same as WordPress, when you request something. I mean they are developers, and all they want to do is say no for something they already created. Since, getting attitudes are the fondest things on BuddyPress, bbPress, and WordPress forums, then I will just stop asking for things that should be from them. I am not going to develop the software for them.

    For someone like me that rarely asks for anything. I got jumped on pretty fast there.

    Again thanks, danbp for the smarter reply.

    @utahman1971 hey man, sorry if it sounded rude, it was not meant to be! It was purely a suggestion or more of an idea for you to implement.

    I didn’t realize you wanted the notice to only be displayed within the activity stream itself, my suggestion was a valid suggestion meaning if you added a text widget area to one of your sidebars you could of then excluded it from showing from all pages but the buddypress members pages and or to logged in users only, meaning they would of had a permanent notice that was not close-able to them but was always in view to them depending where you placed it in the sidebar.

    I am sorry if it came across the way it did to you, but trust me i am not like that nor was i aware of the plugin that danbp gave you a link to.

    Okay, not worried about it anymore, and I just using what ever I was saying I did not want. Sorry, if I jump the gun thinking you were jumping on my shoulder. I just hate having issues. This is pretty much a no more worry thing for me. I have a bug I need to start another topic to see if they will fix in next buddypress update.

    This one is old too and still open. To tell me you don’t close new threads is beyond me when I see this still open. I see way shorter threads closed with no resolutions to it at all before these kinds that are given up. This one is resolved too since nothing is happening here anymore either. I gave up on this one.
