i am aware that this hack is kinda old, yet its the perfect thing for me...

i installed it into my main style and followed the install file to the end (well at least i think so) but the announcement doesnt show up somehow.

instead index.php shows "l l " before everything else and in options.php i also have a "l l " before everything else.

any help on that would be appreciated.

[EDIT]

i figured as much as that it has to do with the templates - as the || shows up in every page.

im using 2.3.2 at the moment.

I can not suggest much except advising to uninstalle first and then reinstalle. Apparently you installed it wrongly.

i edited all the files i edited previously and killed the entries in SETTING and SETTINGGROUP. anything more?

[EDIT]

index.php doesnt show anything now except || and if i access anything inside /admin it also get tagged with the || thing. i killed the templates aswell and edited forumhome.

[EDIT]

found the prob ... a very strange prob occured. while i was coding an instant message window popped up and i entered some text there.. then returned to coding view but the im window remained active somehow and i entered some letters in the functions.php :) all solved now... now im going to get that announcement thing working.

forgive me my being a noob ... it works (as always)

this was my 25th hack i installed and i would have been kinda ++++ed if it didnt work out :) but all is fine.

ok glad you solved the issue :)

sweet hack :) thanks for writing it

WOW! Works great! Running 2.3.2 and this installed with no problems!

Thanks!

MEGA super cool hack installed it, had some minor problems but fixing them I spoted some other bad parsings etc, everythings works perfect took 20 minutes and then I installed it in my other forum in 6 minutes, Works like a dream in 2.3.0.

THANKS AGAIN

One question:

Can I put in the conditionals an image path instead of some text?
For example I put [i m g] bal bla bla path to image [/img]
and Will it show up?

yes.. announcements are parsed for smilies, [i m g ] tags, an all other vb tags that is available in your board..
