Plan: alert blocks

Open on Drupal.org →

Created on 9 April 2025, 13 days ago

Problem/Motivation

The original thinking was that there would need to be two blocks, one placing anything that is a site alert and one for anything that is an alert.

Proposed resolution

In thinking about this more, I think there needs to be four blocks, but only three new blocks.

Sitewide Alert (category: Sitewide Alert Block) - this is the default block that is created by the Sitewide Alert module. It will display any and all active sitewide alerts.
Sitewide Alert - USWDS Alert (category: Sitewide Alert Block) This block will only display alerts of type "Alert - *"
Sitewide Alert - USWDS Site Alert (category: Sitewide Alert Block) This block will only display alerts of type "Site Alert - *"
Sitewide Alert - Non-USWDS alerts (category: Sitewide Alert Block) This block will display any alerts that are NOT of type "Alert - *" or "Site Alert - *"

For my own clarity, are you thinking that the blocks are as follows:

Sitewide Alert

This is what comes "out of the box" with the sitewide_alert → module.

Sitewide Alert - USWDS Alert

Alert - Informative

Alert - Warning

Alert - Success

Alert - Error

Alert - Emergency

What about Slim alert?
What about Alert with no icon?

Sitewide Alert - USWDS Site Alert

Alert - Informational

Alert - Emergency

Alert - Emergency with no header

Alert - Emergency with list

What about Slim site alert?
What about Site alert with no icon?

Sitewide Alert - Non-USWDS alerts

Why is would this type of alert a part of this module, given its purpose to provide USWDS alerts and site alerts?

Your summary is right.

Why is would this type of alert a part of this module, given its purpose to provide USWDS alerts and site alerts?

It is for the case where sites are using the sitewide_alert module for other things. Installing uswds_alert will render the default block provided by sitewide_alert unusable because it will blindly display all events. So we need to provide a replacement block for non USWDS style alerts.

Ok, that makes sense.
