Announcement bar only for login users

[kzm2020]

Hi there.

Currently there is an option to pro-actively inform customers of maintenance days, outages etc.

Is it possible to enable this for only logged in users?

When new users visit my site it appears in the front page 😞

That maybe scary for 1st timers on my site

I can't see it in the settings - you can enable it so that only logged in clients can view details of these alerts, but not that they are shown to everyone... which could put a potential new user in the ridiculous position that the site tells them there is a service issue, but they would be unable to see details of the issue! 🙄

this new "feature" only affects the 21 theme - Six is more sensible in not showing it by default.

if you were using a child theme of 21, then I would say to edit the relevant template and make it conditional on the client being logged in, but using an  action hook would be an alternative...

<?php

# Hide Network Issues For Non-Clients Hook
# Written by brian!

function non_client_network_issues_hook($vars) {

	$client = Menu::context('client');
	if (!$client) {
		return array("openNetworkIssueCounts" => NULL);
	}
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPageHome", 1, "non_client_network_issues_hook");

only clients who are logged in will see the network issues warnings using this hook.
