News Box v5.1

With this hack, you'll add on your board a news system that you control from the admin control panel. These news, you choose them, they appear on the forum in a box, with marquee text viewable for each member. They can be used, to display a general message to your members ...

you can insert VBCodes and smilies. You can choose to display or not the news box on the forum.

Improvment in comparison with VB2 version :
- Display of a special news if the user is unregistered. THe news is a link to the register form.
- Use of expand/collapse system to reduce the box. The position of the box is saved



Ce hack permet d'ajouter ou vous voulez sur votre forum un systeme de news que vous gerez via le CP, ces news c vous qui les choisissez, elles apparaissent sur le forum sous forme d'un texte deroulant visible par chaque membre. Elles servent en fait a faire passer un message a vos membres ...

Vous pouvez inserer du VBCode dans ces news et des smilies. Vous pouvez choisir via le CP admin d'afficher ou pas le systeme de news sur l'accueil du forum.

Amelioration par rapport aux precedentes versions VB2.xx :
- Affichage d'une news supplementaire si le visiteur n'est pas enregistr? lui disant qu'il n'est pas enregistr?, le texte est un lien qui lui permet d'acceder a la page d'enregistrement
- Utilisation du systeme expand/collapse pour reduite l'affichage de la boite de news avec enregistrement de la position de cette fenetre

But, I ve changed the some sets into phrases, for example the menu of news. Can I also change the other ones to phrases without any probs? Like the whole menu and the red sentence showing up to guests??

@M@rkus : Yes you can change phrases without problems

Nice hack! I have one request though... it would be better if instead of all the news piling up underneath each other, they just scroll continuously through a cycle. eg., news 1 scrolls, 2 second wait, then news 2 arrives.

I like everything to look neat and tidy on my forum. If you aren't going to implement this - do you know how I could?

Thanks a bunch.

@M@rkuS : I didn't try but put

PHP Code:

$newusername 


in a news, the newest user should scroll in the news list

@sephiroth : Remove the

PHP Code:

<br> 


grom the news_news template

I'll try these 2 mods now and say you if all is OK

[VBDev]

@sephiroth : Replace all then news_news template with :

PHP Code:

$new[comments]          


You can add

PHP Code:

  


as much as you want It just adds a space


@M@arkus : It doesn't work but it wasn't done for this
There should be a solution by modifying the code, but it should work by adding this

PHP Code:

Welcome to our newest member : $newusername<br /> 


At the end of the news template
