Simple banner to advertise workshop.

[CallumWalley]

note:

not a smart banner like for office hours. Will need to be manually removed when regos close.
banner wont show when office hours banner up (too crowded).
closed banner will reappear on reload (no cookies)

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the website's event notification system by introducing a more flexible banner mechanism. It refactors the existing calendar banner functionality and adds a new banner to promote an upcoming workshop, allowing for easier management and display of various event announcements.

Highlights

• Function Renaming: The showCalendarBanner function was renamed to showOfficeBanner to better reflect its purpose, as it now handles general office hours rather than just calendar events.
• Dynamic Banner IDs: The addBanner utility function was updated to accept a dynamic id parameter, enabling the creation and management of multiple distinct banners on the page.
• New Workshop Banner: A new conditional banner was introduced to advertise an "Introduction to HPC Carpentry Workshop", displayed only if no calendar banner is currently active.
• CSS Refactoring: The CSS styling for banners was generalized by replacing the specific #calendar-banner ID selector with a reusable .md-event-banner class, improving modularity and reusability.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog

• docs/assets/javascripts/general.js
  • The showCalendarBanner function was renamed to showOfficeBanner.
  • The addBanner function was updated to accept an id parameter, allowing for unique banner identification.
  • New code was added to conditionally display a workshop registration banner if no calendar banner is present.
• docs/assets/stylesheets/theme.css
  • The CSS rules for banners were updated to use the .md-event-banner class instead of the #calendar-banner ID, making the styling more generic and reusable.
