Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Problem
- Need to inform my visitors and clients when I'm unavailable or hard(er) to reach, be it for vacations, business/traveling, etc.
- Don't want to write an entire post about it; it's a short status info only.
Goal
- Make it apparent to visitors when I'm temporarily unavailable or hard(er) to reach.
Proposal
- Provide a block that (permanently?) shows very short, tweet-alike status messages.
- Only expose the block if there are any messages currently.
- Each message gets up to 255 chars, a publishing date, and a unpublish/obsolete date.
