News Box v5.1

With this hack, you'll add on your board a news system that you control from the admin control panel. These news, you choose them, they appear on the forum in a box, with marquee text viewable for each member. They can be used, to display a general message to your members ...

you can insert VBCodes and smilies. You can choose to display or not the news box on the forum.

Improvment in comparison with VB2 version :
- Display of a special news if the user is unregistered. THe news is a link to the register form.
- Use of expand/collapse system to reduce the box. The position of the box is saved



Ce hack permet d'ajouter ou vous voulez sur votre forum un systeme de news que vous gerez via le CP, ces news c vous qui les choisissez, elles apparaissent sur le forum sous forme d'un texte deroulant visible par chaque membre. Elles servent en fait a faire passer un message a vos membres ...

Vous pouvez inserer du VBCode dans ces news et des smilies. Vous pouvez choisir via le CP admin d'afficher ou pas le systeme de news sur l'accueil du forum.

Amelioration par rapport aux precedentes versions VB2.xx :
- Affichage d'une news supplementaire si le visiteur n'est pas enregistr? lui disant qu'il n'est pas enregistr?, le texte est un lien qui lui permet d'acceder a la page d'enregistrement
- Utilisation du systeme expand/collapse pour reduite l'affichage de la boite de news avec enregistrement de la position de cette fenetre

Hi, nice hack but how can i make that guests only see the "You are not registered, click it to do it now !" Text.
My Guests see that

Hi VBDev, could you please make an option that let admins disable the marquee of the text and add another option (below 'comments') that let admin specify the url to the news. I ask for this add-on because I used to export news from some important threads and I want my members can easily go to the news by clicking the text.
Thanks in advance

@bigreefer : Use conditional in your template news_news, it's the best thing to do this and the faster

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=1>Template news_news</if>

@zerozone : I didn't understood what you wanted to do. Isn't it possible using BBCODE ?!

Took a little work to get it to integrate into my site, but it's a great hack and is working nicely.

I could not use the BBcode for this hack. Whenever I put a BBcode (like url, img....) in the comments it didn't show up in the news box (the script doesn't parse the bbcode)
One more question: I don't want to put the $news_affichage in FORUMHOME template but I want it to be in HEADER. I did put it the HEADE but it didn't show up. What should I do?

[KamuiX]

Ahhhh Just noticed a flaw when checking the hack with Mac's Safari browser. The text box stretches for however much news is contained within... gah.

Any idea how to have browser detection for this, so that either the news hack isn't there for Safari, or at least closed?

If you have Safari and want to see the occurance, my forum's here: http://www.animegamer.com/forums/index.php
