Looks good, I plan on installing this after moving my board to a new host. I've got a suggestion. How about an option to automatically create a thread in a specified forum when you post an announcement? If the option is selected, you specify the forum, a thread is created with the same title and contents as the announcement and the announcement automatically contains a link to the thread.

Yup - this is a thought that's crossed my mind

I'll look into doing it soon

What about this in reverse.... post in a specified forum and it shows up in the global announcement... this way you could allow admin's, moderators, or whatever you set your posting rules to be... toeasily make an announcement without going into the admin panel..... ?

** Thanks Installed **

In the fresh install - 1.1 text file, there is un-necessary </if> in end of code to be added in the navbar template. I thought i would let you know.

Thanks again.

What I'd like to see ;

1. The ability to control which usergroups see an announcement.

2. The abilty for multiple annoucements - linked to the above.

The result being that different usergroups see different announcements.

Version 1.2 Released

Features:

*** Announcement Title Link - The ability to create a link from the title of your announcement to an external link.
*** 'More' Option - The ability to add an 'More...' to your announcement. This links to the same link as the title.

Just download the .zip, and follow the correct instructions

This version is easier to install as all you must use is '$globalannounce' in the navbar! It automatically Cache's the templates for you

Thanks,

Marky
