Notification Bar / Popup Manager ($$) - ThomasFireheart - 2015-08-06

Anyone know of a Notification Bar plugin or Popup Manager plugin for GetSimpleCMS ? A few examples of currently available wordpress/standalone programs are:

https://www.hellobar.com
http://themergency.com/foobar/
http://popupdomination.com

I'm interested in something that works within GetSimpleCMS and willing to provide an initial $50 bounty (maybe via https://www.bountysource.com/teams/getsimplecms/ ) to help someone create this plugin.

Anyone interested ?

The GS core already has the functions to such simple static things like this. The magic word is „Components“ - does anybody here know this option?  I noticed, however, that the components are generally not very often used by the GS developers, is there any reason why? You don't really need to create a plugin for simple stuff like this. I believe that Components is preferable option for your requirements

components are for end users , not developers, this is slowly changing and will probably be more so in future versions.
But without using plugins the only way to use components is hardcoding in your template files.

2 alternatives for using components is dynpages and sa hook components plugins.

dynpages allows calling components per page using shortcodes
my hook components plugin lets you call components on plugin hooks, without having to write a plugin.

you can try this plugin out i whipped up

it is configured via a component named jbar
example

Code:
<div class="jbar" data-init="jbar" data-jbar='{

 "message" : "jBar, re-imagined. Get version 2.0.0 now!",
 "button"  : "Download",
 "url"     : "http://toddmotto.com/labs/jbar/jbar_v2.zip",
 "state"   : "open"
}'></div>
