Miscellaneous Hacks - [AJAX] News/Announcements

With this add-on you can quickly add new or announcements on your forum's index, forum display, or thread display. Each forum and thread can have their own unique message.

In the vBulletin options you can choose which user's can edit the text by entering their user ID into the box.
You can choose whether or not moderators can edit the message in the forums they moderate.
You can choose if you want the news/announcements to display on forum home, forum display, or thread display.

You can use bbcode and HTML but only if HTML tags have bbocde to convert to.
For example if you type <b></b> it'll convert to [b][/b].

Thanks a lot, harmor ! I love your hacks.

It's very clean and i like it

harmor, i've a little problem.

I indicate my ID in the options, i activate your hack, but when i try to change the news, it indicate me "Direct Access is Prohibited". Why there is this message ?

I read the php file :

PHP Code:

if($can_edit == 0 OR !$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])
{
    die('Direct Access is Prohibited');
} 


$can_edit == 0 -> i can edit

!$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] -> ???

So when i delete !$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], it's good, but why ?

Thanks

When posting news with any (") or (') I get a database error Also when adding vBcode int converts the coed th HTML this also needs to be fixed and you will have a great hack
