Forumteaser 0.9 for vBulletin 3.5.x
20051103 by mip

Adds a moderator-editable "teaser text" to each forum, which could be used to display forum-specific rules, help texts, announcements, etc.

INSTALLATION:
Install product "forumteaser.xml".
Copy "forumteaser.php" to your moderator control panel directory (usually modcp/).

USAGE:
Use $foruminfo[forumteaser] somewhere in your FORUMDISPLAY templates (text appears in your forumdisplay) or e.g. in your header template (text would then appear in forumdisplay, showthread, newthread, newreply).
As admin, you can edit the teaser texts from within the admincp forum manager.
As a moderator with the permission to add announcements, you can edit the teaser texts inside the modcp.
You can use bbCode.
If unsure, visit the basic Forumteaser Flash tutorial (http://prao.mine.nu/tmp/forumteaser_tut.htm).


SCREENSHOTS:

For admins there's an additional way of editing the Forum Teaser texts from within the admincp forum manager.


NOTES:
This product changes the forum table by adding two columns during installation and dropping these columns on deinstallation.
Default language is English.
See the

CHANGES:
* 0.9
- Installation query fixed and split into two separate queries.
- Fixed usage information.

UPGRADE:
* from 0.8 to 0.9
- Make sure that forumteaser and forumteaser_raw columns are present in you forums table. If so, install 0.9 over 0.8 (overwrite). If not, remove 0.8 first, then install 0.9.
Sorry for any inconveniences.

I installed it and now I'm having a problem with my database.......

What does it install and how do I get rid of the tables without being able to uninstall it from my admincp???

There's a new Forumteaser version 0.9. which fixes the installation procedure and clarifies the usage information. Additionally, a basic flash tutorial is available.

@RasMasta:
Sorry for any inconveniences with my premature 0.8 release.

The Forum Teaser text would then appear in forumdisplay, showthread, newthread, newreply.

Please have a look at: http://www.cheerforum.de/technik-f15.html

Do you have an idea, what could fix this issue?

Hi,

ok, another thing I got, this time I am sure it is not my fault ;)

When creating or editing a forum, leaving the teaser field empty and saving it, the "empty" <div></div> tag is written into to the database.

Hello everybody,
can it be that this Add-on is not compatible with VBulletin 4.03?
I have upload the php-file and include this line (<vb:if condition="$foruminfo[forumteaser]"></vb:if>) in forumdisplay but no Teaser is at the desired position...
