how to show banner on portal on login from widget and provide close option for current session

[Jayant Pandit]

My requirement is:

I want to show banner on CSM Portal which will be shown if webservice API returns true.

and If user dismiss this banner, it should be closed. 

I tried stock header widget and added my code there.

Code is getting executed every time I navigate on portal, and I wanted it should not get executed if user dismiss banner for the current session.

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Hi @Jayant Pandit,

Create a user preference in which you save when someone dismissed it. Clear the user preference when a user logs in, so that it can show the banner.

In your widget check the preference to decide if it needs to be shown.
