How to add Notification Bar to a Sulu website

Embed Notification Bar on Sulu

01

Create a Notification Bar plugin for Sulu on Common Ninja

First, create a Sulu Notification Bar plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Notification Bar and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Notification Bar plugin

When you're done creating the Notification Bar plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Notification Bar Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Notification Bar plugin to your Sulu website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Sulu website.

04

Paste the code to your Sulu website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Sulu website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Sulu’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Notification Bar Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Notification Bar plugin on your Sulu website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Notification Bar plugin on your Sulu plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Sulu website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Notification Bar plugin to your Sulu website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Sulu website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Notification Bar widget when you need to share important information without interrupting the browsing experience. A slim bar at the top or bottom of the screen can highlight announcements, shipping updates, policy changes, discounts, or calls to action in a way that stays visible but not intrusive. This is especially effective for time sensitive messages, site wide updates, and targeted campaigns. Visitors do not need to search for details because the bar keeps them in view as they scroll. A well written notification bar reduces confusion, increases clicks on key offers, and helps guide users smoothly toward the next step while keeping your page clean.
