Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Notices Criteria - Additional Conditions for Displaying a Notice

What is it?
----------------------------
This mod adds new criteria that can be used to configure when a notice will be displayed or not. (These came from separate requests in the forums which I decided to release as one mod.)

1) Show notice only on one or more days of the week
2) Show notice for any style other than one selected style
3) Show notice only for specified threadids (in this case the notice will on display on the showthread and newthread pages).
4) Show notice if THIS_SCRIPT value is (or is not) in specified list of values
5) Show notice if user has been registered for more/less than a certain number of days
6) Show notice only during certain months
7) Show notice only when user is/is not browsing selected forums (this duplicates the functionality of the standard functions, but adds flexibility).

Installation:
----------------------------
Just import the product XML file from the Product Manager. The new criteria will appear when adding or editing a notice in the Notices Manager.


Notes:
1) Should work on 3.X and 4.X versions.
2) Since notices aren't shown on the register.php page, adding "register" for the "THIS_SCRIPT value is" option will not work. If you want to show notices on the register page, you must edit the navbar template and remove the check for THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'.

Is it possible to have an additional criteria to have notices NOT display on specific forums/subforums. Currently there's a criteria to have notices displayed on a specific forum/subform but it cannot work to EXCLUDE certain subforums.

can you add option to show only on forumhome

Sorry I forgot to respond to your question. I'll look in to adding that.

You should be able to do that now using a THIS_SCRIPT value of 'index' (without the quotes).

Thanks! Will be looking forward to it.

By the way, is it possible to have this add-on also work for the "Advertisements" Section? Ads and Notices seem to be using simlar types of criteria so it will be great if this "additional" criteria can work for ads as well!

I am really hoping to be able to exclude notices and ads on certain subforums

Thanks for reminding me - I'll look at it.

I remember noticing that ads looked similar and thinking that it might be adapted, then I thought that since I had never seen anyone ask about that, there must be no demand for it. But I'll look again. If the same hooks exist for the ad criteria, it should be simple.

Great! That would really help me immensely!!! Looking forward to your good news!!

Keeping my fingers crossed on this.

[kh99]

Yeah, sorry. Which is it that you're waiting for, the "not in this forum" or the ads?

[ArchAngelz]

Actually both! However, "not in this forum" is more important as I am trying to exclude certain ads from certain forums; some of my ads are currently placed in notices boxes and some using the default ads. So doing the first is more important than the second (which is not really useful for me without the first) if you can do both, that will be the best of both worlds!

Thanks so very much for helping to look into this!

Don't mean to sound impatient, but just checking on the progress of this Am now facing some problems getting my ads to display the way we need it and this mod will really help us a lot!
