Configuration Notes:
We've coded this version so that you can controll the images that displays. Entering an url to an image in the text box will cause the default image to disapeare and the new one you entered to take its place. Also, make sure you've got "Show image" set to yes. Global displayment is now do-able, by setting the displayment point above or below the navbar. It will then Display globally on your forum. Colors are changable, but must be in ASCII code for instance white = #FFFFFFF . Same goes for the text font. If you use a custom image, remember to enter the image width in the text area that follows, otherwise the whole allignement will be messed up.

Screenshots and Downloads
[Admin End | User End | Demo]

*It was very hard to create screenshots for the user end, since it is up to you what the displayments must look like. The screenshots were taken on the default available styles, but keep in mind that everything is customizable via the admin-cp*

Included Files:

• Admin End Screenshot
• User End Screenshot
• Read me
• 5 images
• XML Product file

Planned Updates:

• Hide Announcements from guest and show a "please register" message instead (Going to be enhanced allot)
• Better Admin Panel Layout?
• Show certain Announcements to certain Usergroups
• Show certain Announcements to certain Users
• Whatever you guys suggest

Final Notes:
This modification was built from the ground up and was enhanced as we went on with the production of it. None of the codes here were leeched of the other modifications out there that are available to do the same basic function. This is not an updated version on any of those and must not be considered as one. It is a mod on its own.

Hello,

[Millenium IT]

[Hengest]

I am loving this mod, but is there a way to prevent guests from seeing the announcements?

Glad you like it

At the moment, there's no way of enableing/disabeling guest displayment, unless your up to some template modifications. However, I will be adding this function to the soon to be released upgraded version of this mod

[Hengest]

Excellent, I'll look forward to it.

Sorry about the delay on the update guys, but theres a very good reason for this.

I overclocked my PC a bit too much, wich resulted in my mainboard getting shorted out. I've already ordered the new parts, but until it arives im stuck on a crappy laptop

So please bear with me through this frustrating time, an update will be released soon
