how do you add this to the admin cp so that way instead of going to vb options i can just go to Global Announcements edit or whatever?

Marky

I feel that because it doesn't have too many options it's best to keep the options in there. Also I think you must use FTP access to do that, I like to keep my modifications clean and really simple to install.

Great Hack

Super easy to install.

Is it possible to change the position of the global announcement? I'd like to place it between the Navigation bar and the forum description if possible.

Hmm Ill look into it tonight. It's a nice idea - and if I ever get round to making the modification into announcements in selected forums, I'll definatly put it in there ;)

As I said Ill look into it and get back to you :p

Like I previously mentioned I like it a lot. Thanks for the nice work.

It might be nice to add a little checkbox to make the link "open in a new window" as an option

Nice idea - In the next version, you will be able to edit how the window opens (i.e. _blank etc)

Hey.

Don't know how I missed your reply.. So you will be updating at some point to allow multiple styles? Brilliant, Smithers! :D

I will definitely use this then.

hello
after upgrading to 3.5.4 Global Announcements dissappeared
it does not work any more I tried to remove it and reinstalled
but no luck

any chance for upgrade

thanks

GoodKarmaKid

03-31-2006 10:12 PM

3.54 isn't the isssue, because I am running global announcements with 3.54 no problem.

Something else must have gone awry.

Hi
but the problem only startrd after I upgraded the forum to 3.5.4
I tried reistalling it just does not work
what a pitty

Marky

May I ask how you upgraded your forum? Also when you uninstalled Global Announcements - did you fully delete everything? (i.e. navbar edits, product deletion etc.)

i think you should have a ^ arrow so you can minimize the annoucements window.
It gets annouying when its in the way all day.

So you wish for collapsable tops? :)
Good idea! Next version ;)

Here is my code for the globalannounce template.

Please note that I changed some of the thickness of the cells as well as the classes to display the way I wanted it. Changes are in GREEN.

Code:



<if condition="$vboptions[global_status] && $vboptions[global_announce] != ''">



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="{$vboptions['global_border']}" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

<td class="tcat">

<a href="#top" style="float:$stylevar[right]" onclick="return toggle_collapse('global_announcements')">

<img id="collapseimg_global_announcements" border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat.gif"/></a><center>LIMMAC Global Announcements</center>

</td>

</tr>



<tbody id="collapseobj_global_announcements" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_global_announcements]">



<tr>

<td class="thead" align="{$vboptions['global_title_align']}">



        <a href="{$vboptions['global_title_link']}"><font color="#{$vboptions['global_title_colour']}">{$vboptions['global_title']}</font></a>

                </td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

<td class="alt2" align="{$vboptions['global_text_align']}">

        <font color="#{$vboptions['global_text_colour']}">{$vboptions['global_announce']}  <if condition="$vboptions[global_menu_by]"><a href="{$vboptions['global_title_link']}">More...</a></if></font>

                </td>

        </tr>





</tbody>





</table>

Hehe great news :)
I'll be implementing the collapsable option in the next update which will be when my site is up and running, which unfortunatly might be a little longer as im waiting for the skin to be coded :p

By the way Kelee, I noticed the title of your Global Wisdom is still linking to MgArcade.com - you can take it off if you wish, i won't sue lol

Marky, I suggest also adding the documentation for vBAdvanced display that I provided?

Yeah I will, if you don't mind ;)
When I update my modifications, I will be including a totally new manual for all modifications, so it is even easier to install and understand etc. ;)

|oR|Greg

05-03-2006 07:09 PM

Mark, here is a MUCH easier and better way to do it that I just realized.

Anyone that wants to add this to the vBAdvanced home page

AdminCP > vbaCMPS > Default Settings > Portal Output Global Variables

add:

globalannounce

Marky, something that has been bothering me is that it won't display if for instance a user clicks on the "New Posts" button, and returns no new posts. But it shows on all the other search pages... any idea why?

"Click Installed"

Thank you for such a great hack! Extremely easy to install and works right out of the box. Very nice. Been using for awhile now on our forums and it works beautifully.

Does everything I need except it does not have an option to allow me to select whether to display globally or just on forumhome. Sometimes that can be very handy depending on what type of announcement you are making. No big deal but thought I would mention it for future consideration.

In any case, fantastic hack and thank you again!

I'm trying to add it to a friends vbadvanced portal, it works fine on the forums but not the portal :( where do I need to put the code??

05-19-2006 08:43 PM

i modified it a bit cause i wanted the text and title color to match my styles

Code:

<!-- Global Announcement - Version 1.2 - Created by Marky -->

<if condition="$vboptions[global_status] && $vboptions[global_announce] != ''"><if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid] != 0">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="{$vboptions['global_border']}" width="100%" align="center">

        <tr>

<td class="tcat" align="{$vboptions['global_title_align']}"><span class="normal">{$vboptions['global_title']}</a>

                </span></td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

<td class="alt2" align="{$vboptions['global_text_align']}"><span class="normal">{$vboptions['global_announce']}  <if condition="$vboptions[global_menu_by]"><a href="{$vboptions['global_title_link']}">More...</a></if></font>

                </span></td>

        </tr>

</table>

<br />

</if></if></if>

<!-- End Global Announcement - Version 1.2 - Created by Marky -->

Sorry, since I don't use vBAdvanced, I don't know how it's system works. I shall take a look for you and get back to you on how to put it on. Thanks,

I know how to do it for Menu control - my other mod - maybe you do the same...

So, try this:
Add:

globalannounce

to 'Portal Output Global Variables'.

Thanks,

Marky

Thanks - this is a nice hack. But I would need it with a function so that I can have the text according to the selected language because I ran a multilanguage board.

Would that be possible?
