Strangely enough, in the edit "announcement.php" I cannot find most of the "find this" parts. I think I could only find the first one.

I am using 2.3.0...hmm...can't remember if I edited the announcement.php file or not...I don't remember doing it.

i think announcement.php has changed during the versions, for vb226 it worked.

you have to try to find similar parts in the code and apply the cahnges manually

exactly what i needed. my first installed hack and it took 15 minutes and worked immediately.

my only technical note is that i installed on 2.3.0 and noticed that there was a minor discrepancy in the instructions for hacking announcements.php:

the hack says to look for:
but my announcements.php showed:

Code:

---

$getperms=getpermissions($foruminfo[forumid]);
if (!$getperms[canview]) {
  show_nopermission();
}

---

looks like they cleaned up the code a little -- or maybe this has something to do with the skin i have installed? in any case, i rubbed a couple of brain cells together and simply added the new code below as instructed and it seems fine.

thanks!

yeah i know, it was a bugfix
at least i was the one who reported it ;)

i'll update the instructions in the future time ;)

well ok, have updated the instructions today to fit vb2.3.0 :)

well, on behalf of future hack installers, i thank you. ;)

on a related note, i just realized today that many of the most popular hacks on this site don't officially support 2.3.0. i wonder why that is? is 2.3.0 that new? i guess it is, in the larger scheme of things. it's just odd that as a new vBulletin user, i come here and see that most of the activity seems to have somewhat died down when you get to the more recent versions of vB.

well at first, yes vb230 is really new :)

then second, the version number jsut means for which vb version the hack is written, but normally the also work with newer versions :)

you can't force every author to update every hack he releases whenever a new vb version is released ;)

Really Wonderful ....

I was thinking about this hack since my friend wanted to add more than one annoucment as a seperate ...

wish you the best man

Awesome hack! I was looking for something just like this :D

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Much thanks.
