[betts02]

Another great addition to my site

Would it be possible to make it so you have an option to pull the data from a certain thread ?

[Greight]

Thank you for the fast reply and update. However I assume my lack of php knowledge did not allow me to utilize the new feature. I added the code to the bottom of navbar template but while the text is shown correctly, the frame is not visible.

[userform3]

Hi,

in forum, vbulletin 4.0.6 I have not category.
If user call the form, they get immediately the complte list of the topic. I realize this over plugin:

if ( THIS_SCRIPT == ?forumdisplay? AND $forumid == 0 AND $_REQUEST['forumid'] == 0)
{
$_REQUEST['forumid'] = 2 # <? forum id;
}


And I after create this plugin I remember the file forumdisplay.php in to forum.php, the old forum.php was deleted.

My question, is it possible to youse the plugin "News & Announcements"?
If yes, how?

Regards
userform3

[Wifey]

This is not compatible above 4.0.3. When you use it in anything higher, it removes the status icons and just sticks ONE up at the top, on the forum home page

Screenshot:

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/merrillash/error.gif

Any possibility of this being upgraded to be compatible with vB 4.1.x? It's a great mod, but I can't have it on my board when it's not working properly.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Working fine on 4.06 mate no problems at all.

I use it since vB4.0.2 and I never had this problem.
Works fine too with vB4.1, try to clear your browser cache or try with firefox if you get the same error.
Good Luck.

[Wifey]

It's an IE issue. And it's this code <div class="forumrow table"> No idea what to do to fix it.

[Slipperyduck]

Hi,

Is there any way to have this mod use BBCode rather than HTML?

[Slipperyduck]

THE ORIGINAL CODE FOR TEXT IN NEWS/ANNOUCE
if($vbulletin->options['enable_lns'] AND in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['lns_ug'])))
{
$lns=array();

$lns['title']=$vbulletin->options['lns_title'];
$lns['text']=$vbulletin->options['lns_text'];

$templater=vB_Template::create('forumhome_lastest_ news');
$templater->register('lns',$lns);


if($vbulletin->options['enable_lns_place'])
{

$template_hook[forumhome_above_forums].=$templater->render();


}
else
{
$template_hook[news].=$templater->render();

}


}

What I'm trying to do, is then take the
lns_text --> then parse it through the class_bbcode.php

this is so that my old Admin/Moderators can simply use BBCode as they do not quite know how to do HTML.... I'm the only one that knows how and it's a burden.

I'm by no means a web specialist, but I'm not completely stupid.
I've tried several things and just can't seem to get it to parse.

here's some dummy code, that I've tryed and failed with (bottom snippet)
*Note that I've ADDED "-->" here to illustrate my additions - the arrows are not actually in my code.


$templater=vB_Template::create('forumhome_lastest_ news');
$templater->register('lns',$lns);

-->require_once('includes/class_bbcode.php');
-->$parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
-->$lns_text = $parser->do_parse($lns_text);

if($vbulletin->options['enable_lns_place'])
{

$template_hook[forumhome_above_forums].=$templater->render();


}
else
{
$template_hook[news].=$templater->render();



It's probably obvious to coders out there, but since I don't quite have a clear understanding, I'm clearly doing it wrong. Can anyone help?

Many thanks

[Slipperyduck]

Ok, no reponse yet, but how about a WYSIWYG Editor for the News & Annoucements? That would really take the cake! possibly pull in the editor.php ?

I really like this MOD and would like to see it go a little further....

[Syxguns]

Installed on vB 4.2.0 PL2 and appears to work fine.

Hmm, my adminCP doesn't look like that. Did you make a change to the XML file?

[ProFifaLeagues]

No changes mate Just make sure auto template is set to off

[Syxguns]

Love this mod, but I have a question if anyone knows a little HTML to help me out.

I want padding on the width of the content. The problem is that because of different aspect ratio's the screen is going to look different on almost all computers. If I center the text then everything looks okay, but I want some text justified, and when I do that the text will go all the way against the side boarders of the announcement box.

Is anyone familiar with how to code the HTML to give side padding for this? Say like around 10px.

[Madita]

This one does not work with 4.2 :(

Another great addition to my site

Would it be possible to make it so you have an option to pull the data from a certain thread ?

Any news on this ?
Cheers

As mentioned by two previous posters, it would be great if this could be modified so that moderators could change the News & Announcements.

4.2.2 This plugin starts generating errors:

In my case:
Warning: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ..../includes/class_bootstrap.php(561) : eval()'d code on line 26

[ozzy47]

Warning: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in ....Bla Bla Bla

Try this fix, (Untested)

Edit the plugin titled, Templating Starting under the group, News & Announcements

Replace everything in there with this:

if($vbulletin->options['enable_lns'] AND in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['lns_ug'])))
{
$lns=array();

$lns['title'] = $vbulletin->options['lns_title'];
$lns['text'] = $vbulletin->options['lns_text'];

$templater = vB_Template::create('forumhome_lastest_news');
$templater->register('lns',$lns);

GREAT WORK OZZY47 - that did indeed fix it :) :up:

**NOTE above fix from OZZY47 for the 4.2.2 patch upgrade of vbulletin

[ozzy47]

Cool, I thought it would.

[john7911]

Thank you

[tanzeelniazi]

When i tick Auto Add Template? (No) i cant see announcement
when i tick yes (Auto Add Template?) i see but both i try i only see but other members cant see latest announcement why ? help please

[john7911]

Thank you
Installed on 4.2.1 :)
What is the variable to put below the navbar?

[LordVader!]

5/5
installed and it's exact what i was looking for!

[ProFifaLeagues]

Is there a way to add a background image into the news box?

[tanzeelniazi]

why its not working in my side i have 4.2.0 ?
Only admin can see and guest not members see why ?

[steviewonder44]

Edit: can see it now

[MarkFL]

NO ONE CAN SEE WITH VB4.24 BETA1

Please don't post in all caps...this is equivalent to shouting. Also, please note the vB version stated for this product. A more appropriate post would be to ask the developer to update the product for vB 4.2.x :)

Take a look a few posts back at a fix by Ozzy...this might work for you. ;)

[steviewonder44]

Thanks for your help sorry caps were on, not intentional, I had to move vbdonate bar to footer and now it works

[Gn_Snake]

Is there a way to define the size of busy space?
I need to include responsive ads and I would like to limit it to a defined space.

Thx
