I would like only simple text, it's more flexible: on TS we've several kinds of tools, and not all of them output HTML. > Please comment at the toolserver-mailinglist and tell me/us if you > would > implement the sitenotice in your tools. I've implemented this in my tools (e.g. http://toolserver.org/~pietrodn/intersectContribs.php) , here is the simple code I wrote down (in case it could be useful to someone): function print_globalnotice() { $text = file_get_contents('/var/www/sitenotice'); if($text != '') { echo '<div id="globalnotice">' . $text . '</div>'; } } And the CSS: #globalnotice { border: 1px solid silver; background: lightyellow; padding: 3px; } "I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, Can you hear me?"
