You can add this code to your custom1.css file (thanks to University of Wisconsin Libraries for sharing):

/* LOCAL BANNER */​
body::before {​
    content: "Our campus is currently experiencing problems with ...";​
    display: inline-block;​
    background: #ecd90f;​
    text-align: center;​
    width: 100%;​
    font-weight: bold;​
}

How-to:

  • Go to Discovery>Display Configuration>Configure Views​
  • Click on the Manage Customization Package tab​
  • Follow the customization package modification instructions
  • Edit custom1.css file under css folder, put code at end of file​
  • Edit wording in content: "  …." to read whatever you want it to say​

Edit Primo VE homepage (note that if users start from your library webpage widget, they may never see this page):

  • Edit homepage_en.html file under HTML>Homepage folders
  • Page is set up with two column layout with first column at 60% of page and second column at 40%​
  • Could add div above first div that would span whole page​
  • md-card coding is what makes the layout work responsively and look the way it does​
