Global Announcements v1.0 · **Released**: 04-13-2006

Introduction:

This hack will allow the admin to edit an option in the Admin Control Panel and it'll update announcements throughout the whole forum. Now, the hack doesn't read from a specific forum and it doesn't have any "forum integration" with news or anything. It's all manual.

Installation:

Download & Install the attached .xml file.
Place the following code at the bottom of your "navbar" template:
HTML Code:
```
$global_announcements<br />
```
Modify Options (ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Global Announcement Settings)

Features:

Shows on every page that includes the navbar.
On/Off Switch
You can modify the title (Announcements is default)
Add as much news as you'd like (parses HTML! News MUST use HTML!)
Collapsable
Signal New/Old news by a graphic.

Support:

Post here to gain support.

Screenshots:

See Attached.

Picture 2: Default Values w/ "New" announcement signifier.
Picture 3: Default Values w/ "Old" announcement signifier.
Picture 4: Non-Default Values w/ "New" announcement signifier.
Picture 5: Admin Control Panel vB Options Screen w/ Default Values

Note:

This hack was in no way based off of this hack. I actually discovered the plugin AFTER the posting. This is all my work.

I'm going to restart on this and use a newly installed test vB for creating this file.

I got it working.

3.6.8 compatible?

I don't see why not. There shouldn't be any problems with it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
