Hmm, I don't see any Advantage over putting the HTML directly into Templates FORUMHOME/FORUMDISPLAY?

Anyway, I'd suggest to make it at least hassle-free by using a Product (see attached File).

This would cut down the Instructions to

- Import Product XML
- Make the 2 Template Edits

WOW - thanks.... waited for that one ;)

I just don't get it. The annoucement feature is already available in vB so why make thsi hack again?

[Sovereign]

To allow for more precise control of announcements, maybe?

Ok, I'm lost here. What will this do that isn't already done with the Announcements in RC 3?

This is probably me being a little teeny bit moronic but... where do you write the message to display in the announcement?

I've tried the built in announcement tool but that just posts a standard issue announcement.

I'm not installing till there's a screen shot or a demo please.

I've tried the built in announcement tool but that just posts a standard issue announcement.I have looked at the raw code of the XML file. Surely you don't expect us to edit that every time we want to make an announcement?

I can not find where to change to Annoucement content.

Please specify where I can manage the annoucement
