Thank you for posting the link and me being able to see what this does. We need a bit more powerful version of this type mod but this is nice.

We installed this mod and adjusted all 4 notices then save settings. Doesn't work. Any ideas why? It should appear in guest mode but nothing appears and everything appears to be set right.

I upgraded from 4.11 by installing the new xml and selected overwrite. I got no errors, however there were not notices. I installed it again... same thing. I then unistalled the product and re-installed it and the notices finally showed up!

Quite simply an amazing add-on and one nobody should be without. :cool: I'm proud to say that my forum looks loads more professional after using this mod. Thank you very much! :up:

Ok we have 2 usergroups that have notices - girl talk and guy talk. We created the guy talk and edited the original default notice for girl talk. BOTH have same conditions, just the difference is one is for males and other is for females. Why does one usergroup work (female) and the other (male) doesnt show?? They have identical conditions except usergroup??

I don't get it.. :(

-using 3.7.3
-first time fresh install for mod
-notices show up in notice manager
-notices are the same for said usergroups as are conditions except the usergroup condition.

Anyone know why it's showing for one usergroup and not the other??

Well if the conditions are identical than either the logic is wrong (i.e. you incorrectly changed the usergroup) or your test is wrong (i.e. you weren't logged in as a member of the second usergroup to test with it). There's really not a whole lot more direction I can give you than to double check your changes and the group IDs.

To be clear, are you using the 3.7 version of this addon which uses notices or the 3.6 series which uses conditionals?

If so, run the query:

SELECT * FROM notice; If nothing appears, uninstall and reinsall.

This is the error that I get:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'xxxx_xxxx_xxx.notice' doesn't exist

I replaced the sensitive data above ;)

I have already removed/reinstalled the mod a couple of times.

EDIT:

The query works when using bb_notice instead of just .notice

The problem with everything that I have going on is that the notices don't show up, at all.

3.7 version, fresh install. I deleted the notices that weren't working then re-did them. Now it works! Don't know what happened but seems ok now.

quick question. How can you get rid of the default guest message that comes with vb? It looks overbearing having 2 guest messages...urs and Vb's. Thanks and GREAT MOD!

Are there advantages this plugin has over the existing notices system in 3.7?

As explained in the main post, this isn't an external system but rather a series of pre-set conditions and phrases for the notices system.

I installed this and I'm not getting any options in the admincp. Tried searching and you said to uninstall and re-install, trued several times and spent a while looking in my admincp

Any help would be great. Installed for now, can't wait to use. :)

In navbar template:

Change:

Code:

<if condition="$show['notices']">

To:

Code:

<if condition="$show['notices'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">

This will keep notices from showing on any cmps pages which is what I needed. Just in case anyone else may need it :)

If some wants to exclude the notices from just the index cmps page use this

Code:

<!--exclued notices cmps index -->

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">

<if condition="$show['notices']">





        <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

        <tr>

                <td class="thead">$vbphrase[notices]</td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

                <td class="alt1">$notices</td>

        </tr>

        </table>

        <br />

</if>

</if>

<!--end notices hack -->

Great mod!

But I have vbportal installed and I get a 404 error page when selecting "join our community" and "contact us" from the Guest Message Notice. All notices seem to work ok in the forums, just not the portal. I think it is because that the address that gets pulled up when selecting either of those two options. The /modules/Jig/ may have something to do with it. How can I fix this?

yep....none of them work. the first installed - they worked (sort of)...i uninstalled, then reinstalled...now none work.

they work fine on my 3.7 forum (which i just upgraded to 3.8)

Ted S

02-15-2009 04:39 PM

If you see the notices and they appear correct (i.e. the logic in them doesn't say to only show this when you click 5,000,000 pages) then either your notices settings are off or your templates are no longer calling the correct notices variable causing the messages not to show.

The best way to check is to manually create your own test notice; if it shows something is up with the logic, if not, it's the settings/ template in vbulletin.

So what's the difference between this and just using notices?

Nice analogy.

This addon is notices. The idea being that while the notices system helps you do all sorts of things it doesn't give you anything to start with. Coming up with basic logic and messages can be a pain and this addon provides 4 time proven messages to get you started.

From there the sky's the limit but you can edit everything with the notices manager.

Hey, love your mod. Only problem our site is having is it seems to be showing more threads and posts in your header than on the forum itself. Some things we have thought may be a cause of this:

- It is counting forums that are set to not share post count
- We have recently done a fresh install with impex and some things may be acting up posts side.

Our website:

On the latest version of vBulletin is included this mode for diferent users and is very useful. When i installed this mode in my previous vBulletin, I had to uninstall it immediately.

did you bother to read the hack description? This mod is not functionality, it's preset notices for the built in feature that you mentioned. So not only does this work with 3.7 and 3.8 it is meant specifically for the notices system.
