hello
after upgrading to 3.5.4 Global Announcements dissappeared
it does not work any more I tried to remove it and reinstalled
but no luck

any chance for upgrade

thanks

3.54 isn't the isssue, because I am running global announcements with 3.54 no problem.

Something else must have gone awry.

Hi

I tried reistalling it just does not work
what a pitty

[Marky]

May I ask how you upgraded your forum? Also when you uninstalled Global Announcements - did you fully delete everything? (i.e. navbar edits, product deletion etc.)

i think you should have a ^ arrow so you can minimize the annoucements window.
It gets annouying when its in the way all day.

So you wish for collapsable tops?
Good idea! Next version

The 2nd if-tag is redundantly.

Here is my code for the globalannounce template.

Please note that I changed some of the thickness of the cells as well as the classes to display the way I wanted it. Changes are in GREEN.

<if condition="$vboptions[global_status] && $vboptions[global_announce] != ''">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="{$vboptions['global_border']}" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a href="#top" style="float:$stylevar[right]" onclick="return toggle_collapse('global_announcements')">
<img id="collapseimg_global_announcements" border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat.gif"/></a><center>LIMMAC Global Announcements</center>
</td>
</tr>

<tbody id="collapseobj_global_announcements" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_global_announcements]">

<tr>
<td class="thead" align="{$vboptions['global_title_align']}">

	<a href="{$vboptions['global_title_link']}"><font color="#{$vboptions['global_title_colour']}">{$vboptions['global_title']}</font></a>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
<td class="alt2" align="{$vboptions['global_text_align']}">
	<font color="#{$vboptions['global_text_colour']}">{$vboptions['global_announce']}  <if condition="$vboptions[global_menu_by]"><a href="{$vboptions['global_title_link']}">More...</a></if></font>
		</td>
	</tr>


</tbody>
