Updated affected versions

I wonder if there's some unique plugin that might do it too? This seems really cool http://leafo.net/sticky-kit but trying to think of how it would be applicable without further changes to the layout? Maybe stick to those other ideas without getting too fancy?

The other notifications are using the https://sciactive.github.io/pnotify library, but I don't see anything on this that would really fix either of these problems. We'd still have a static stuck notification on top of the rest of the document. I feel like the 2 issues are

1) Blocking non-dismissable notifications will render on top of other content. The only ideas I can think about this are to

• Move the rest of the DOM down and keep this notification on top. Since the mobile has a lot of elements in fixed position (like the tools/sites drop down has a fixed top of 3.6em) doing this seems difficult to me without changing a lot of things about how the mobile view is laid out. (Probably for the better)

• Putting the non-dismissable at the bottom of the page? It might be possible to instead of having these at the top of the page in mobile have them fixed in the bottom. Actually I think this might actually work out.

2) Really long messages take up too much space either dismiss-able or non.

• To fix this, I think maybe the div could have a fixed height and a vertical scroll? I wonder if pnotify does this? I feel like this would be an easy fix without switching.

I sent a message to the Sakai Dev and User lists asking for examples to help fuel this discussion:

Hi, all.

The PA System announcements were turned off for Sakai 11.2 for the mobile/narrow view [1] because they weren't displaying correctly. [2] was created to fix the display of the announcement in the mobile/narrow view in a future release.

If you have examples of how other system-wide announcements display in other mobile sites and apps, please take a screenshot and attach it with a comment to SAK-31910. We can use these screenshots as examples when discussing the best way to fix and display the PA System announcements in Sakai.

Thanks,
-Shawn

let's discuss on the Sakai core team call if no responses on the Jira come it.

I think this would be an important fix to get into 11.3 if we are able to.
