[AJAX] News/Announcements
 

With this add-on you can quickly add new or announcements on your forum's index, forum display, or thread display. Each forum and thread can have their own unique message.

In the vBulletin options you can choose which user's can edit the text by entering their user ID into the box.
You can choose whether or not moderators can edit the message in the forums they moderate.
You can choose if you want the news/announcements to display on forum home, forum display, or thread display.

You can use bbcode and HTML but only if HTML tags have bbocde to convert to.
For example if you type <b></b> it'll convert to [b][/b].

I hope you like this hack.

Thanx

This should work on 3.6.0 with totally customize template?

I can't promise if it will work.

Before anyone asks I like to explain some things.

If you want the moderator's to be able to edit the news/announcement of the forums they moderate you don't have to enter their User ID in the text box.

If you want line breaks in the news/announcements you'll need to use the break tag ( <br /> ).

installed, but nothing is happening as far as AJAX. I have AJAX on, other things work, but this one, I click and click and it stays a line of text. It's on, and I have ability to moderate it. Nothing.

When I click to Mark all Forums as read, I get a database error.
Everything else seems to run pretty smoothly.

I would prefer though if when you click to edit it that the codes stay in BB format, because HTML doesn't show up.

Suggestions:
Make it global for all the boxes. (I don't want to manually edit every single forum's box and put the message I want.)

I'll look into the database error.
When you edit the message doesn't show the way I want it to but when you refresh the page it should show fine.


I'll try to do this in the next release.
