1290687 - implement message of the day

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[Lonnen :lonnen]

We often want to warn users of abnormal states. We can provide this by implementing a message of the day style warning -- a solid bar at the top of every page that is not animated or dismissable. It should be populated by the admin panel, and not display at all if there is no message.

bonus points:
* if we can set it to be 'info', 'warning', or 'critical', with different styles for each


I thought we had this on file somewhere. I'll dupe if I find it.

Oh, additional bonus points if it shows up somehow in API responses. Would be nice for consumers to read from that that and know something is amiss.

Will suggested that we add the date to each status message, so that people have a good idea of the time context.

Actually. On second thoughts I realize I don't like how the date is displayed. My reaction when I see the date before the message is that the date is *part of* the message. I noticed that in myself even though I'm knowledgeable of how it works :)
I think it's because it's so unusual to put a date before the headline text. 

Making a little followup and if you disagree, you win and you can close this bug.
