This is unrelated and a small suggestion. Rather than have the admin function tucked away at the end of a very long page. Why not have it linked directly off its own control panel navigation link in the left hand column?

it would require a little bit more hacking and an additinal 1 query in your main page so this is why I integrated into vb settings section (detailed info is somewhere in the thread). But if you find the announcement edit column small, you can enlarge it. I gave the hack for it in the thread.

BTW. can u still not see bbcode after you applied the change I gave you above?

Correct - Still doesn't work - that's what post #110 says.

Thanks for the rest of your post above BTW.

Logician, if I change "bbcodeparse" to "bbcodeparse2" in the code section I posted about 5 messages up I get the bold, and quote and smilies working BUT i still get "$bbuserinfo[username]" (without the surrounding quotes) appearing in the announcements.

Hi,

does it work with 2.2.9 ?

Regards.

I didnt test myself but I believe it should work provided that you apply the 2.2.8 modification in the installation. I appreciate if someone who tested confirms this.

okay, thanks.

I'll try it :)

Thanks, This is fanatasic......

Well, I just tried installing on 2.2.9, and have absolutley nothing to show for it. The options arent coming up in AdminCP. I'm a bit confused, and pretty new to this, so any help would be much appreciated. But still, it's a very nice hack.

sounds like a template problem. Make sure you made the template modifications/additions correctly (check template name, it's caps etc. too) and if you have more than 1 template sets, apply the modifications in all sets..

Also make sure you clicked "APPLY" in vb settings section after you installed the hack
