CES Board Inactive Alert Placement
 

CES Board Inactive Alert Placement
Version: 2.0.1

What It Does:
Normally vBulletin automatically places the board inactive alert that admins see when the forum is turned off directly after the header and footer templates. On some boards with customized styles, this may not result in the most handsome placement of the alert.

This hack will allow admins to place the alert anywhere on a page in any frequency.

Usage:
Use the <!-- Inactive --> tag in your templates to put the alert
wherever you wish.

Note: The tag will only parse when the forum is turned off and the
user is an admin.

Thanks Installed...

I'm with ^. :p

Thanks, mine shows up in the header and footer by default though ;)

This is where it should show up by default. However, some of us have customized our templates to the point where the alert appearing in the header and footer doesn't exactly look too great.

For example, I use several layers of divs. This resulted in the alert appearing BEHIND my site, and one immediately following the other (on the same line). Until I created this mod.

need this...can you please update this to make it work on vB 3.8...thanks in advance ;)

This has been working on 3.8.4 for me. Have you tried installing it yet?

thanks for the reply...tried many times to make it work by inserting

<!-- Inactive --> to make that board alert under my navbar...copy all code to the original templates and put to navbar templates now i can see 3 places...above and below my page and under my navbar... or did i make it all wrong?

please appreciate any help here...coz i got the skin style HERE and everytime i turn my board off it really break my header..meaning it push the header downward when the alert box appear up there...

thanks and best regards

Mark Supported But Nothing! Thanks Anyway...

Ah, thanks @princeedward didn't realize the ZIP was not up to date (hadn't been updated in over 2 years). It should now match what we're running on 3.8.4.
