Thanks For It
First Intsall

need it indeed ......

Thanks, very useful! :)

just as a note new version released :) any suggestions please post here, i can't really think of anything more to put. i may be realeasing a multipage version (puts it at the top of everypage) after i realease the vb3.5.x compatible one...

after i installed this...i get a page not found error whenever i try to get into the products management screen or plugins screen...i haven't done anything else but install this product...anyone else have this problem??

Try reimporting the product and allow overide. Have you upgraded to beta 2? It sounds like a beta bug to me.

I can't...i can't even get to the product page...

Do you get an internal server error?

i'm just getting the 404 error...i can't check my server logs at all because i'm out of country with the military behind an retarded firewall...can't get into cpanel or whm at all while i'm here.

i do have ssh access though...but i do everything through whm so not sure how to do it through ssh...is there a way to check the logs via ssh?

i also but in a bug report at vb.com...they haven't responded yet but i'll see what they say about it as well.

I wouldn't know i don't use it. Are you sure you uploaded all the files?

yup, i'm positive, i've even just reuploaded everything this morning to make sure. It didn't start happening until after I imported the product (though i'm not saying it's your product...it might have been any product...not sure since i can't disable it and try another one.)

Can you read the pm

I'm having the exact same problem.

I ahve fixed iresfire's problem and he gave me a donation (thank you) He had plugin manager reloaded. It managed to latch on during the upgrade and messed up the pluygin system just do me 1 think. Go to your forums, Go to admin cp, right click on Pruduct Manager, Open in new window, tell me what the link is. If it is advplugins.php then you have the same problem as him. Just upload the new plugin mananger for vb3.6 reloaded and then run this query: (if ou have a table prefix please add it before plugin` eg. so if your prefix was vb it would be `vbplugin`) and then manually add this plugin:
Then the plugin system should work. So you can import the plugin manager reloaded xml properly so it has all the phrases.

This should be a stock feature!!! Very nice!

Amazing Addon Thanks :) *Clicks Install*

This is a fine (although simple) hack.

Kudos for making it though. :)

Thanks! This is pretty useful.

I get the following error when I try to install:

(Installed).

Thank you.Installed

Simple but good !

One question: Maybe you can add a option to show the "Announcment Box" only for registered User's of the Forum ?

Excuse my bad english

Can the settings page have a righ text editor, and can the input box be larger?

You could make it that way so it gets the most recently created thread from a selected forum and show its title on forumhome ;).

Hi there, ive installed it and it works brilliantly. Just one thing to ask though. Is it possible to get it above the navbar?

Great hack - how easy it is to make this usergroup based? Basically I want all other usergroups other than not logged in/not registered - so viewable only by members.....

Cheers

Hey nice hack. But I've got one problem.
You can add a plugin to cache template. 'll you please?

Also I need a small help. I'm using custom skin & Zero Tollerence's 'Welcome Panel'. So 'll it be possible to show the block above 'Welcome Panel'?

One more request. You can add collupse option :).

Once again, I've found uncached template in everywhere in my forum. I 'll post the screenshot if u need.

Ok, I'm lost.. what exactly does this do? I imported the xml file, but now what?

How can i turn announcement on all vb pages? or forumdisplay and showthread?

by the way.. I have just edited the plugin and added following codes:
And its works fine on Forum Display.

Installed

Change the format so it's like using the regular announcements? Thanks.

installed, and works fine on 3.6.7 PL1

Holy Kittens that was quick and works beautifully! Thanks muches!

Always, Bree
vB 3.6.7 PL1

Question,

Is it possible that other user can modify this announce ?
