Dynamic Announcements: Programmable Forum Home Announcement/Message with conditionals
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
This hack allows you to post powerful dynamic announcements (changing according to different conditions) on forum home page. It differs from vbulletin's default announcements in 2 ways:
This hack is the VB3 version of my Dynamic Forum Home Announcement Hack and it is a bit more improved in that it is now able to display your announcement as it was before AND also in DHTML popup box as well which ever you prefer better or even both. (DHTML poupup announcement is not technically a popup so popup killers can not kill it either.) Basic Usage : You can set a text in your Admin CP and it's displayed in forum home to all users. Advanced Usage : With conditionals you can set different texts/notifications/messages/announcements and they will be displayed if your pre-configured condition applies. This allows you to create powerful announcements/private messages/texts which address their receipt only if a certain condition is met. Some examples: You can set to show an announcement in forum home IF:
It's tested in vb versions from v.3.0.0 to 3.0.9 and works fine with all of them. It will work for all future 3.0.x versions too. For vb2 version click here. Here is a Screenshot from a general table announcement. Here is a Screenshot from a popup announcement. Some Features:
If you install the hack, click INSTALL, thank you.. Hacks of the hack: * Hack 1: Puts the announcement into header instead of forum home page so that announcement appears in all forum pages. * Hack 2: Integrates announcement with vBA_CMPS portal hack. * Hack 3: Popup announcement will popup once in every XX hours.

I agree it's not the hack authors issue.
I was just pointing out to people that had https should use it. |

I applied the additional hack to move the announcement into the header. As a result my CMPS page now works fine (no announcement though), and the announcement didn't budge on the forums page. Unless I get someone willing to take a look and help dissect the problems Ill leave this hack as is. It a great hack however, because of the work that my predecessors have done to the navbar and header Im getting weird reactions to the tweaks. Id like to get this working with CMPS but until I understand this stuff a bit better or get some help, Ill leave a working product alone.
Thanks Logician for your hard work, this is a very powerful tool for getting info to users. |

How can I change the background color of the DHTML popup window?
It is very sharp and eye hurting.. while I would like to choose a smoother that can be seen as part of my board style?? BTW.. nice hack |

However if you want, you can make an announcement only visible to member who are: a) with 0 posts and/or registered XX days ago and/or b) in Email confirmation waiting group So this should cover most of the people you are targetting. |

Installed but have one problem.
I created a popup announcement. It displays as expected but wont close. The close button is there, it reacts when moused over and clicked, but the window remains. Thought maybe was a firefox issue so I tried IE, same problem. |
