On a mobile device the menu link is often VERY difficult to activate while all other links are quite active.
I have created a Site Announcement:
That works just fine
Can I make a Site Announcement sticky? That is it cannot deleted by the user.

You must log in to post replies.By the "menu link" I meant the link at the top/right that opens the menu. The links on the menu work fine.
BTW this occurs on Android devices. I don't have an Apple device to check.
Have you tried this plugin? https://elgg.org/plugins/1940056
Thanks for your prompt response.
Yes I am using that plugin when I posted the announcement, but don't see such an option.
You can override this file \views\default\object\site_announcement.php in your custom plugin and delete the 'mark' action for your sticky announcement:
where 777 is a GUID of your sticky announcement.
I found site_announcement.php
I presume the quid is 91 because the edit link is https://elgg.serenitytoo.com/announcements/edit/91
91 does not appear in the file:
<?php
/**
* Display a single site announcement
*
* @uses $vars['entity'] the entity to show
*/
$entity = elgg_extract('entity', $vars);
if (!$entity instanceof \SiteAnnouncement) {
return;
}
if (elgg_extract('full_view', $vars, false)) {
$content = elgg_view('output/longtext', ['value' => $entity->description]);
$announcement_type = $entity->announcement_type;
$message_options = [
'icon' => $entity->getMessageTypeIconName(),
'class' => " site-announcement-" . $announcement_type
];
switch ($announcement_type) {
case 'attention':
$message_type = 'warning';
break;
case 'error':
$message_type = 'error';
break;
case 'info':
$message_type = 'notice';
break;
default:
$message_options['title'] = false;
$message_type = 'success';
break;
}
//error, success, warning, help, notice
$mark = elgg_view('output/url', [
'icon' => 'delete',
'text' => false,
'class' => 'site-announcements-mark',
'title' => elgg_echo('site_announcements:menu:entity:mark'),
'href' => elgg_generate_action_url('site_announcements/mark', ['guid' => $entity->guid]),
]);
$content = elgg_view_image_block('', $content, ['image_alt' =>$mark ]);
echo elgg_view_message($message_type, $content, $message_options);
} else {
$imprint = [
'announcement_type' => [
'icon_name' => $entity->getMessageTypeIconName(),
'content' => $entity->getMessageTypeLabel(),
],
'startdate' => [
'icon_name' => 'calendar-alt-regular',
'content' => elgg_echo('site_announcements:edit:startdate') . ': ' . elgg_view('output/date', [
'value' => $entity->startdate,
'format' => elgg_echo('friendlytime:date_format'),
]),
],
'enddate' => [
'icon_name' => 'calendar-times-regular',
'content' => elgg_echo('site_announcements:edit:enddate') . ': ' . elgg_view('output/date', [
'value' => $entity->enddate,
'format' => elgg_echo('friendlytime:date_format'),
]),
],
];
$params = [
'entity' => $entity,
'icon' => false,
'content' => $entity->description,
'access' => false,
'byline' => false,
'time' => false,
'imprint' => $imprint,
];
$params = $params + $vars;
echo elgg_view('object/elements/summary', $params);
}
In fact the phrase " if($entity->guid ==" does not appear in the elgg.serenitytoo.com directory
You should create a custom plugin.
Override the view of the existing file: copy from /mod/site_announcement/views/default/object/site_announcement.php to /mod/your_plugin/views/default/object/site_announcement.php
Now edit this file in your plugin adding the mentioned code.
Please read Elgg docs for more details.
Thanks I'll give it a try
You can use this skeleton Elgg plugin to quick start
OK did this before your: last reply
zipped folder site_announcements in directory
downloaded, unzipped, opened site_announcement.php
added :
at the bottom of file
What PRECISELY must I delete?
Or was the whole thing I did wrong?
