Memo is a plugin for Movable Type and Melody that can display a memo on the Edit Entry/Page screen, as well as a global message on all CMS screens.

Overview

Memo can:

• display a global message on top of every CMS screen;
• display a text box on top of the other widgets in the right column of the entries and/or pages edit screens. The memo display and text are customizable per site and blog.

Requirements

• MT 4.x, 5.x or 6.x

Installation

1. Download Memo.
2. Uncompress and move the Memo directory to the MT plugins directory. More in-depth plugin installation instructions.
3. Customize your memo in the plugin preferences at the blog or site level.

Documentation

For each blog where you want a memo displayed, go to the plugin preferences and:

1. Tick the "Display a memo on Edit Entry/Page screens" checkbox (unchecking it will prevent the memo to show up).
2. Enter a short title (defaults to “Memo” otherwise).
3. Enter the text of the memo (formatted as HTML). Hint: HTML <p>…</p> paragraphs or <ul><li>…</li></ul> lists work best.

To display a global message on top of all screens in the CMS:

1. Go to the global plugins page and click on the Memo Settings tab.
2. Tick the "Display a global message" checkbox (unchecking it will prevent the message to show up).
3. (Optional) enter a CSS Class to style the message using MT's own CSS classes for messages (i.e. info, alert, error, beta).
4. Enter the message (formatted as HTML) in "Message Body". Note: this code will be wrapped into a <div id="global-memo" class="msg msg-class">…</div> block, where class will be replaced by whatever you put into the CSS Class field above.
