Installed Thanks

[ragtek]

<br> isn't correct
<br /> is xhtml valid ;)

[kiril_cvetkov]

What is the difference?
It's ok with <br> tag too.

[ragtek]

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_howto.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_howto.asp</a>
<br> is html
<br /> is xhtml
in xhtml (which vbulletin is using) every tag needs an opening and an closing tag
some tags <br /> <img /> also can made this "short" way

[kiril_cvetkov]

And I must use xhtml tags in php codes right? or it's ok there..

Backgrounds are a bit loud but it works fine..!

Can someone advise how I ad an icon to the announcement. I think my problems is that I don't know what to add in the box indicating: "Put the Image icon of this announcement". I tried adding a URL to this box but I got no icon.

Thanks,

JC

[joeycano]

Actually what I'm trying to do is add my logo

[PKGDubber]

Does anyone know where the templates are located?

dont add in the full url, just add the after your forum Directory. For instance:

www.yoursite.com/forums/images/logo.gif

would be

/images/logo.gif

Installed, thanks.. One question, How to I get rid of the "Dear "user name" at the top of the announcement?

Thanks again.. It is just what I was looking for..

[kiril_cvetkov]

You can rid "dear $username" with the option "SHOWING USERNAME" Yes/NO You can put NO and then will be ok

[sml]

I like this hack :up:

THe ability to post an anouncement in plain view for a couple days, then keep it up but move it in a less annoing postion is great.

I moved my whats going on box to a side column and put it there, works great :up:

if you would like, you can see here (http://forums.projektgerman.com)

[silver_wing]

Installed the mod. Just one question, how do you get it to work? Do you have to edit the template, and then post a new announcement and it will show up in the Index page??

[kiril_cvetkov]

Read the instructions...
After that, go to vbulletin options and find "Kc - Announcements" -> double click and you have all the options (it's easy to use)

[unicorn2433]

figured it out!
thank you

[unicorn2433]

okay now how do I make it so all user groups can see it???

Installed.....thank you. Works quite well. (dasportsite.net)

Re: unicorn2433
Just enter each usergroup id # in the box designated for that

[dale sr]

Is there a way to customize the announcement style (backgrounds)?

Would like some basic soft color backgrounds such as light blue, etc.

[dale sr]

Nevermind....I colored over a couple of the existing images in photoshop and that works great

[TopKing]

Thanks....Installed
