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
