Installing this component requires an intervention at the theme level (layouts) to allow the insertion of operating messages at the top of each screen layout.

To install the component:

1. Unzip the archive in the “local” directory of your installation.
2. Navigate to the administration notifications to carry out the logical installation.

Moodle themes (Moodle 2.x) are based on typical screen “layouts” associated with logical page types. You will have to slightly modify the main layouts of the theme to add the call to display the notifications just below the opening of the document BODY:

Open the layout files corresponding to the main pages. Beware, the names and the number of these pages can vary widely from one theme to another.

Identify the document opening, usually:

 <body <?php echo $OUTPUT->body_attributes(); ?>>
 <?php echo $OUTPUT->standard_top_of_body_html() ?>

and replace this opening with:

 <body <?php echo $OUTPUT->body_attributes(); ?>>
 <?php 
 require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/local/technicalsignals/lib.php');
 echo local_print_administrator_message();    // <= line to add
 echo $OUTPUT->standard_top_of_body_html() 
 ?>
