I know there are a lot of announcement hacks, but I made this one especially for my forums. I want my announcements to be accessable at all times. However, I don't want to force users to have to read them more than once. I'd rather give them the option of having it open at all times, or closed.

Description
This will allow you to create announcements under your navbar that users may collapse after viewing it. If they want to read it again, they may uncollapse it. Otherwise, it collapses to a 25 pixel high box, much like the statistics at the bottom of the forumhome.

Templates to edit: 1 (navbar)
Files to Upload: 0

Instructions
1. In your AdminCP, go to Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> navbar.

2. Find:
HTML Code:
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->
Add Below:
HTML Code:
<!-- Announcements -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td align="center" class="tcat" colspan="2">Announcements</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<!-- Example -->
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="thead"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_ann1')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_ann1" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_ann1].gif" border="0" /></a>Title of Announcement</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_ann1" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_ann1]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" border="0" /></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Put whatever you want in here.</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- // Example -->
<!-- Example 2 -->
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="thead"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_ann2')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_ann2" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_ann2].gif" border="0" /></a>Title of Announcement</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_ann2" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_ann2]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" border="0" /></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">Put whatever you want in here.</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- // Example 2 -->
</table>
<!-- // Announcements -->
Notes
If you want more than one accouncement, Just copy the section between the <!-- Example --> part. Then you'll need to change all five of the forumhome_ann1 to fit each announcement. Example: forumhome_ann2, forumhome_ann3. There are five in each announcement. They must all match. Remember that each announcement has a title and a body.

More Notes
Unfortunately, this hack is not cooperating with additional hacks. If you are using the ibProArcade, they will not stay collapsed. However, they will stay collapsed on v3Arcade. If you're using the PhotoPlog, they will not stay collapsed. I have no idea how to fix this. If anyone can help, let me know. Also, if you are using the columns on either side of your forum within FireFox on a 100% wide board, this may also cause issues such as expanding passed the 100% mark. I have been unable to fix this at this point.

I know it's kind of choppy, but all of my users like it. I like it too.

I'll have to toy with it. I think the reason it's happening because of the two sides.

I'm still workin on it. I'm having someone else take a look at it. I have no idea why it's not working for you. It honest doesn't make sense to me. It was designed using IE and that usually creates problems for FF users in the long run. You'll be the first person to know when I've resolved it.

Links are done just by putting:

<a href="http://site.com">Text People See</a>

I truly am unsure of the problem. I've noticed that FireFox makes boxes larger than Internet Explorer. I noticed it when editing input textboxes that FireFox makes them about 20 pixels wider. This may be happening for you and I am not sure how this modification is effecting it. I really don't know how to help.
