Quick News v2
By Adrian at Development Chat
Tested on v3.6.1, should work on 3.6.0 and 3.5.x

Hey,

This is a very simple mod', it allows you to add news/important notes or announcements, on the homepage of your forum.
You can enable/disable or add news via the admin panel.
The "Quick News" box, matches your forum theme. Just so it doesn't look out of place.

New in Version two.
  • Abilty to hide Quick News from guests
  • Abilty to show Quick News to admins only
  • Abilty to choose to show Quick News on everypage, or just forum home

Installation
Import the product-quicknews.xml
Go to vBulletion Options > Quick News (Read option descriptions before configuring)

Template Edit:
Open Forum Home Templates > FORUMHOME

Find:
HTML Code:
<!-- main -->
After Add:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_enabled'] == 1">
		<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_forumhome'] == 1">
			<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
	<!-- No message for guests -->
		</if>
		</if>
		
				<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_admin'] == 1">
					<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	<else />
							<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
								<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 1">
<!-- No message for guests, if admin view only is set to no, and guest view is also set to no -->
	</if>
	
	<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	</if>
		</if>
	</if>
	
		</if>
	</if>
Now open Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

Add at the very bottom:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_enabled'] == 1">
		<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_everypage'] == 1">
			<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
	<!-- No message for guests -->
		</if>
		</if>
		
				<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_admin'] == 1">
					<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	<else />
							<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
								<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 1">
<!-- No message for guests, if admin view only is set to no, and guest view is also set to no -->
	</if>
	
	<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	</if>
		</if>
	</if>
	
		</if>
	</if>
Done.

Upgrading:
If you are upfrading from Quick News v1 to v2.
Do the following.

Import the new product-quicknews.xml (Overwriting old version)

Then, open up:
Forum Home Template > FORUMHOME (if you installed it in FORUMHOME)

Find:
HTML Code:
	<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_enabled'] == 1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
And replace it with:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_enabled'] == 1">
		<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_forumhome'] == 1">
			<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
	<!-- No message for guests -->
		</if>
		</if>
		
				<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_admin'] == 1">
					<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	<else />
							<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
								<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 1">
<!-- No message for guests, if admin view only is set to no, and guest view is also set to no -->
	</if>
	
	<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	</if>
		</if>
	</if>
	
		</if>
	</if>
If you added the code into Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar, do the following

Find:
HTML Code:
	<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_enabled'] == 1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
Replace it with:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_enabled'] == 1">
		<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_everypage'] == 1">
			<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
	<!-- No message for guests -->
		</if>
		</if>
		
				<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_admin'] == 1">
					<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	<else />
							<if condition="$vboptions['qnews_guests'] == 1">
								<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 1">
<!-- No message for guests, if admin view only is set to no, and guest view is also set to no -->
	</if>
	
	<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat">Quick News</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">$vboptions[qnews_news]</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
	</if>
	</if>
		</if>
	</if>
	
		</if>
	</if>
Done.

I can't see why it's doing that, but could you specify a link to your forum please?

I tried the one in your profile, i just got a parking page.

This is terrific, I'm going to use this..

I would recommend changing your <br> in your html to <br /> to maintain xhtml compliance.

I would also like to know, to cut down on processing time, if I will never change these two settings:
Allow Guests = Yes
Only Admins Can View = No

What code could I pull out safely that would always assume those 2 settings, thus cutting down on the extra if statements and processing time? That would be killer. Thanks!

By the way, the code in forumhome should be placed before: $forumbits if you want it to show at the top.
