Q:

Sitecore - Content Editor - Pop-up or Alert for Editors

I'm new to Sitecore so forgive me if the answer is obvious. Is there a way to initiate a popup or alert bar for all users after they've logged in to the content editor of Sitecore? I work for a large organization with a few hundred active editors, and I'd like a way to inform them as we make changes to the toolbars and other functionality, or remind them to review our style guide before publishing content. If it's not an out-of-the-box feature, has anyone implemented a similar solution? 

A:

Customizing the login default page is pretty common.  I think a faster and easier UX approach is to simply modify the login page (\sitecore\login\default.aspx, default.js, default.css) vs. doing some heavy lifting in code possibly when you login to the Content Editor.  If what you need is a  popup then simply display the popup on page load of the login page of some new features BEFORE they login.  Then they can click out of the popup and then login to the Content Editor.  Happy coding!
