Simple global announcement

[tommykjensen]

Inspired by the Welcome headers (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99579) hack I wanted to add a simple global announcement that I could turn on and off via the admin cp and change the announcement from acp.

The Dynamic Announcements (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97073) hack is a bit more than I require so I wrote my own simple global announcement hack.

To install import the xml file as a product in the Plugin Manager.


To enable the announcement goto vBulletin options and open settings for "Global annoucement". Here You can enable/disable the announcement and enter the text to display.


Change history.

1.1.0 Made the announcement box collapsable. See here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101697) for 3.6.x version.
1.3.0 Now compatible with vB 3.7.0 RC 1. No template edits required.

Thats also possible but I did this for the excercise too.

Its just another way of displaying annoucements to your forum members.
