In AccountLogin.lua modify the following:

Original

Code: [Select]

function AccountLogin_OnEvent(event, arg1, arg2, arg3)
	if ( event == "SHOW_SERVER_ALERT" ) then
		ServerAlertText:SetText(arg1);
		ServerAlertFrame:Show();
	elseif ...

Modified:

Code: [Select]

function AccountLogin_OnEvent(event, arg1, arg2, arg3)
	if ( event == "SHOW_SERVER_ALERT" ) then
		ServerAlertText:SetText(arg1);
		ServerAlertFrame:Show();
		ServerAlertCustomText:SetText(arg1);
		ServerAlertCustomFrame:Show();
	elseif ...

This will display the serveralert text in the new frame, but it will be merely a mirror of the original one since the text is piped into the game through the SHOW_SERVER_ALERT event.

AFAIK it is not possible to have two server alerts, although you may be able to send both serveralerts through the same event as a big string of text and then divide it.

Add a marker (=======////======== for example) to separate the articles. Then split the string http://lua-users.org/wiki/SplitJoin using the marker.

Necro post but you can do a lot more with SimpleHTML than thought of here, just need to format it correctly.

Code: [Select]

SERVERALERT:
<html><body>
<p>Here's a sample of what can be done in the server alert file.

</p>
<p>There's three different header styles:</p>
<br/>
<h1 align="center">This is header style 1</h1>
<h2 align="center">This is header style 2</h2>
<h3 align="center">This is header style 3 (like paragraph style)</h3>
<hr/>
<p align="left">Text can be aligned left,</p>
<p align="center">center,</p>
<p align="right">or to the right!</p>

<img src="Interface/Icons/Ability_Ambush" width="24" height="24" align="right"/>
<img src="Interface/Icons/INV_Misc_Coin_02" width="24" height="24" align="left"/>
<img src="Interface/Icons/INV_Misc_Coin_03" width="24" height="24" align="center"/>

<p>It is |cffff0000also|r |cffff00ffpossible|r to |cff8080ffcolorize|r |cff00ffffthe|r |cff00ff00text|r,</p>
<p>add icons |TInterface/Icons/INV_Misc_Coin_01:16:16:0:0:64:64:4:60:4:60|t to the middle of the text,</p>
<hr/>
<p>You can have links also: <a href="modcraft.io">This link takes you to modcraft</a></p>
</body></html>

Note that img have to be outside of any text formatting and the src has to be part of the WoW Client. Colors and icons mid-text can be done just as with WoW API for escape sequencing since it gets converted to Lua basically in the end anyways, so those work.

Also seems that - while having "SERVERALERT:" inside the <html><body> on 3.3.5a works - later versions (only tested on Legion) require it to be outside of everything and the very first thing in the file.

Figured I'd put this here though since it's really the only topic on this content.
