mod_announce

Sometimes it is useful to send messages to all online users, maybe because of an upcoming outage or maintenance period. mod_announce allows administrators to do that.

Details

Message method

Only administrators can send announcements. To send an announcement an administrator needs to send a message to host/announce/online.

  e.g. example.com/announce/online

Ad-Hoc command

The module also provides an Ad-Hoc command. Using a client with support for Ad-hoc commands, look for "Send Announcement to Online Users", then simply fill out the form and send.

Usage

    modules_enabled = {
        -- Other modules
        "announce"; -- Enable mod_announce
    }
