Love this hack! I now have the message showing in my OT area only:
http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/fo...play.php?f=161

But, check this out:
http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/fo...ad.php?t=30396
In this one thread, the default Dynamic Announcement seems to have been inserted as the message for a number of the posts. I'm baffled!

I'm reported this bug a few times before but it just happens (infrequently, not always) if you hack the hack to apply it to global.php. I don't use the hack this way and I suggest using it as its original release (as a forum home announcement only) so I didn't trace the roots of this problem.

Edit : Turning off post caching (vb admin cp/options) may help. Give it a shot!

Okay, I'm not that familiar with the impact of turning off post caching. Would that have other adverse effects?

BTW - the problem is very interesting. If I look in the post table, the correct text IS present for the post in question. So ... where in the world is it pulling that text from??? I don't have that in my announcements anymore. Time to poke around some more. I like having this in global.php so I'd rather find the cause.

Thanks for the very quick reply!

Edit - hmm, the problem is in post_parsed. 26 records have "Hello Unregistered! Welcome to our board!" in the pagetext_html field. A rebuild of the post cache (via the AdminCP) fixed the problem.

Great hack! Is there a way to specifically exclude spiders from seeing the "guests" annoucement messages?

Thanks,
Brian

did you got a working solution to fix the problem, when dynamic annoucements are added to global.php ?
Rebuilding post_cache fixed the problem temprarily only. :(

Any plans for a VB3.5 update?

SirJonathan 09-22-2005 12:48 AM

I'd LOVE to have this again for vB 3.5 :)!

Logician 09-25-2005 08:47 AM

I need a few beta testers for 3.5 version. Anybody interested please email me.

I need someone who is:
* Already using this hack in vb 3.0 version and familiar with the hack
* Already upgraded his board to 3.5 (latest version ie RC3) or at least has a test 3.5 enviroment to test the hack.
* Ready to install the hack to his board (or test board)
* Let me know the results adn give me feedback

Please contact me via PM or email and let me know your email adress if you meet ALL the conditions above and I'll send you the hack.

3.5 version is coded as a pluggin so it does not require you to hack your vb codes. You can easily install it through vb3.5 pluggin system and can also uninstall/disable it with 1 click.

I've tested it in my localhost and it works fine but my own board is not upgraded to 3.5 yet, so I want to get a few confirmations from others before releasing the hack officially.

Thanks!

Great! Yet you are running it as a "code modification" (ie hack), however 3.5 version I ported runs as a pluggin so it is manageable through your admin cp/products section and can be installed without modifying vb code. ;)
