Michael-

Tried to apply your lesson on announcements but have not succeeded. Somewhere I'm missing something. Hope you can help!

1. created new templates:
newsflash_all
newsflash_guest
newsflash_noposts
newsflash_pending
newsflash_staff
newsflash_subexpiring

2. Added the following to phpinclude_start:

PHP Code:

// ##################################################### 
// #####+++++++++++ +START NEWSFLASHES+++++++++++++##### 
// ##################################################### 

eval( '$newsflash = "' .fetch_template ('newsflash_all' ) . '";' ); 

if (empty( $newsflash )) //If it's empty we'll get our usergroup newsflashs 
{
    if ( is_member_of ($bbuserinfo ,1))   // Guests 
    {
        eval( '$newsflash = "' .fetch_template ('newsflash_guest' ) . '";' ); 
    } 
    else if ( is_member_of ($bbuserinfo ,3)) // Pending Registrant 
    {
        eval( '$newsflash = "' .fetch_template ('newsflash_pending' ) . '";' ); 
    } 
    else if ( is_member_of ($bbuserinfo ,4)// Mods 
        OR is_member_of ($bbuserinfo ,5)// Supermods 
        OR is_member_of ($bbuserinfo ,6)) // Admins 
    {
        eval( '$newsflash = "' .fetch_template ('newsflash_staff' ) . '";' ); 
    } 
    else if ( $bbuserinfo ['posts' ] == 0)// User has never posted. Encourage them. 
    {
        eval( '$newsflash = "' .fetch_template ('newsflash_noposts' ) . '";' ); 
    } 
    else if ( 1 > 1209600 )// Placeholder for subscription expiration notice 
    {
        eval( '$newsflash = "' .fetch_template ('newsflash_subexpiring' ) . '";' ); 
    } 
} 


3. Called the appropriate template by inserting:

$newsflash

in the forum_home template.

it doesn't display the content of the newsflash template. What did I miss?
