Channel banners: image banners for info channels

A channel banner is an image as the first message of an info channel, for example "Rules" or "Welcome". yurna posts the image as a normal message. If you change the banner, yurna updates the same message – no new one appears.

You'll find the page under Dashboard → Content & automations → Channel banners (/dashboard/<server>/kanalbanner).

In the dashboard#

1. Click Add banner.
2. Pick the Channel (text or announcement channel).
3. Choose the Banner type: yurna template (free for everyone) or Custom image (Half Moon and up).
4. For the template: enter a Title (large lettering), a Subtitle (small line below) and an Accent colour.
5. For a custom image: enter the Image address – a public https address (PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP, up to 8 MB, ideally 1200 × 300 pixels).
6. The Preview shows exactly the image yurna posts. Click Save & post.

Your banners lists all banners with their status (Posted, Not posted yet, Failed). There you can edit a banner, Post again or Remove it – yurna then also deletes the message in the channel.

How many banners?#

There is one banner per channel.

By command#

You need "Manage Server". If you leave out an option, the previous value stays. The same plan limits as in the dashboard apply.

Common questions#

Why does it say "Failed"?#

Usually yurna is missing permissions in the channel, or the custom image couldn't be loaded (address, size or format). Check that and click Post again.

The channel was deleted – now what?#

The banner then shows "Channel deleted". Pick a new channel when editing, or remove the banner.

Does the banner always stay at the top?#

yurna posts it as a normal message. Best create the banner while the channel is still empty.

Can I upload an image directly?#

No. A custom image needs a public https address.
