Description

This module allows to display a Beta Signifier on specific form elements or on specific pages in order to draw the user's attention on certain features that are not yet fully mature.

Configuration

Beta Signifier on a form element

The Beta Signifier will show up on form elements where #beta is set to TRUE using the Form API, for instance:

$form['myelement'] = array(
  '#type' => 'textfield',
  '#title' => t('My Element'),
  '#beta' => TRUE,
);

Additional settings can be configured on admin/config/system/beta-signifier.

Beta Signifier on a page

The Beta Signifier will show up on pages listed in admin/config/system/beta-signifier. You may configure it to show up at the top or at the bottom of the page.

Permissions

  • 'configure beta signifier' provides access to admin/config/system/beta-signifier
  • 'access form elements in beta mode' allows to restrict access to form elements in beta mode

Possible improvements

  • Create a Beta Signifier at the module level
  • Create a Beta Signifier at the block level
  • Create a permission 'access pages in beta mode'
