With default settings...I enable this and it makes my forumhome go blank.

installed - a great hack

is there any way for the pop up to show on all pages not just forumhome ?

I want the announcement to be displayed on every page , what should i do ??

First of all you should read first post:
or that post that post

Will it work in the Future with vBulletin 3.6 ?

hi,

actually i'm not getting this to work if i just want to show the message to users who are not primary but just secondary users in that group.

is there a way to do that?

It's working for me with vb3.6 beta 2.

Same here :(

is there anyone who can helpme out with this problem ?

What other hacks do you have installed?

I have 3.5.4 installed with about 10 hacks in place already. Added in this one, enabled it and it works quite nicely.

Maybe another hack you have installed is conflicting?

Vbseo but I can?t figure out, what the problem could be :(

Do you use any conditionals? Set announcement as "Hello" and see if it will help?

If we enter 0,25 (or 0.25) means after all 15 minutes?

1 Question...how can I do it, that all Guests get the popup on all forums except 1...So 1 Forum Section should be without the popup! the rest should have it :)

I've got this excellent product/hack installed and it all works perfectly.

I'm trying to use $vbphrases so that I can get the messages translated and house them all in one place easily (I read it was BBcode parsed but I thought I'd give it a shot!).

I used this:
To replicate the initial welcome for guests and for the most part it works perfectly except for the variables and line breaks which don't get replaced properly.

Has anyone else tried this and is it working for them. I guess more importantly should it work at all (i'm guessing not)?

Thanks for your help.

Steph

Sorry, this wont work.

I figured. I kinda half got it to work but looking at the code it's a whole bunch of hassle to pre-parse it.

It doesn't matter really because I can use the standard welcome message banner thing anyway and the rest is taken care of by your excellent product/hack!

Is there anyway i can get this to work in the UserCP and how could i add this to other pages aswell?

OK I'm sure you get lots of suggestions.

I understand it displays the first matching string in the list. That makes sense.

Is there anyway to expand the messages so that we can add a random switch...maybe in combination dc3dreamers excellent recursion hack....

Something like $dfharandom==3 so that any messages with the same random id number will be selected from randomly (assuming the rest of the conditionals are true for those messages)?

I'm guessing this is a lot of work though since you exit the parsing at the first logical true, right? Would enable us to do tips and such like from a library of little messages...

Also how could we do a date test such as Christmas and Easter?

I uploaded "functions_dfha.php" into vb's /includes/ folder.

I Edited forumhome/forumhome template and replace the code

Uploaded xml file as product

No what i didnt understand is,,

Login to your vb admin cp, go to settings page and configure your announcements in "Dynamic Forum Announcements" settings.

I logged in to admin control pannel, where is the settings page???

emforum

in vb options

@emforum - Scroll to the bottom of the drop down list you'll see Dynamic... thats where you edit the annoucements.

BTW is there anyway to make the edit boxes for the conditionals/strings wider/tall by default?

Nice hack... had it installed for a while but unfortunately, Photopost no longer functions when this product is enabled. Once I disabled the product, Photopost fired right back up again.

I noticed someone else asked about this but didn't get a response. Does anyone have this working with VBA/Photopost?

Thanks

*I'll leave it installed until tomorrow night. I'll fool around with it a little and if I figure anything out, I'll be sure to post the results. Too bad, I really liked this one!

Interesting experience, I cant think of why. Frankly speaking I installed it to a few boards which already use photopost but I didn't have such a problem.

Possibly my directory structure?

root
- /vBulletin
- /photopost

Photopost is installed into a seperate directory than vBulletin. Could that possibly have something to do with it? Any ideas. My site is, http://www.njflyfishing.com Maybe after seeing the site, something will click. Keep in mind that the hack is disabled.

Are you using "photopost" or "vbpicgallery"? I dont have any experience with the latter.

Also please make sure you use the original (supported) version of the hack which displays announcement in forum home page only. If you installed unsupported version (which displays announcement in all pages), I'm not sure what kind of problems it can cause with other hacks and scripts.

I'm using Photopost.

Ok, so vba would not be considered supported? If not, I'll remove it from my vba template.

I just installed this Plug-in last night and so for I have been getting good reviews, thansk for the script!

I did have a couple of my members make a suggestion that the annoucements be able to be shown on the "New Posts" page results as that is how they have my forum bookedmarked.

Would this be possible?

Is there a way to use this multiple times? I see you can use this a max of twice, one for the forumhome and one for the popup. What if I want two popups? Or wahtever

does this work on 3.6?

Yes, it should

Please update the thread to 3.6.0 to stop confusion and confirm compatibility ;).

How does this hack compare to

Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=119572

There's definitely overlap in some of the functionality, though your hack seems a bit more flexible ??

TIA

As you said: Similiar concepts but mine allows you to create ANY announcement with conditionals while Ted's is easier to configure for users if you are not after a flexible solution but happy with a few message pre-configured for your convenience.. They are both easy to install hack so I'd say, install both and make your decision according to your needs..

Installed on vB 3.6, "general table announcement" works but "popup announcement" don't :(

I've tested and confirmed the hack is compatible with 3.6.x too as it is. No changes needed, hack thread updated to stress this point..

It works fine for me. You probably don't see it because you didn't wait for 12 hours (default option) before revisiting the site. Set pop-up frequency setting to 0 and you'll see it.

hi,
thx for the hack.. installed and its workin beautifully...

i want the dynamic popup to be shown also on a particular forum page (not just home). what can I do for that?
I inserted the same code (as in forumhome) in the header template, but it doesnt work. am a n00b at this, and am sure am missing something basic. can u please help me out... thx.

anyways to show the annoucement once per day? or per x amount of day?

Can this hack used for showing rules if a member starting a new thread in a certain forum?
