Seems that I get a blank page on index.php (forum not admincp) everytime I make an announcement.

I know you're going to get tired of hearing this, but I'm gonna say it anyway - you missed something important/messed up a step.

Go back to the original versions of the files and do it again line by line. You missed something - a quote, a comma, a ;, something, I guarentee it. Either that or you did the edits with a crappy editor like Notepad which inserted invisible line breaks for you.

Never mind.....

AWESOME HACK! Thanks!!

How do we use the field id part? I've tried numeours codes and can't get this to work.....??

Thanks

Actuall yI forgot to update my user option, I'm using 3.0.0, thanks for reminding me to update that.

As for the editor I used. I have Erwin's vBFTP installed, which comes with a built in editor for php and such. Obviously I used that editor. I'll give it a try again.

Hmm, seems that I skipped function.php or something while I edited this, I was sure I edited it right. Oh well.

Anyone know a simple way to make this work for all pages?

I've made the HTML for a quick registration and it's displayed through the DHTML announcement. It'd be nice to have it enabled on all pages. I don't currently have the time to look at the editing which is why I ask.

Cool hack

Announcement 3
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you set this text as your announcement, the hack will:
Show Announcement 1, if user's userid = 32
Show Announcement 2, if user's usergroupid = 3 (=email confirmation waiting members)
show Announcement 3, For ALL other users

What if user 32 is also from user groupid 3? He will be displayed Announcement 1 because even if he matches both conditional 1 and conditional 2, conditional 1 (which is above) has a higher priority.

Can you make it display both (all) announcements (1+2+3) if user32 is also from usergroupid3? or will you have any plan to make it posible

STEP 1 - Edit admincp/options.php,find:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
if ($debug)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Replace it as: (Important : there are 2 instances of this line in options.php. Make sure you replace BOTH!)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
// Logician Hack: Always debug on while adding a setting
$debug=1;
// Logician Hack: Always debug on while adding a setting
if ($debug)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Upload the file into the server NOW. (Important : before you proceed to step 2 make sure you upload hacked options.php in step 1!)

Should we remove these $debug=1 after installation? (upload the original file, maybe?)

You can create a conditional for this and put all 3 announcements in it. ;)

eg.
[[($bbuserinfo[userid]==32 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3)]] Announcement 1
Announcement 2
Announcement 3
[[/($bbuserinfo[userid]==32 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3)]]

It is upto you. It does not hurt if you don't and it does not hurt if you do. But if you want a technical suggestion, I say leave it "hacked", it is better this way if you later decide to add an option to vbsettings. Because the hacked version allows you to make the setting perminent.
