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

Any idea how to have browser detection for this, so that either the news hack isn't there for Safari, or at least closed?

If you have Safari and want to see the occurance, my forum's here: http://www.animegamer.com/forums/index.php

Put the news part in a conditional that check the browser and have it do whatever you want for different browsers.

PHP Code:

<if condition="is_browser('safari')">
// Stuff For Safari Here
<else />
// Stuff For Other Browsers Here
</if> 


If you don't want anything to show for safari, use:

PHP Code:

<if condition="!is_browser('safari')">
// Stuff For Browsers Other Than Safari Here
</if>

Replace the template news_fin by

   </table>
  </td>
 </tr>
</table></table>	
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table><br>

@skullycapone : the text shown to guests (please register...) disapeared if the user is logged
To add new news, go to your admincp > News and manage them as you want

However : sorry for this "absence"

Hurm, I'll review the code this evening to make it 100% compatible with RC4, other templates code may have changed since RC1 and my code has to be improved and modified

Sorry for this

Are you sure you didn't do an error during the installation ?

Check up modifications in the index.php please

Have you well activated in News Options the option do display them on the forumhome ?

[KamuiX]

Ah, thanks for the info Pikok! That should help, big time.

ok installed with the advice you gave red_baron in the news_fins but now everything at the bottom is centered, example whats going on is in the center. Any solution to this would be greatfully appreciated.

I used this as a "now playing" ticker for the embeded music I play on my forumpage, worked out nicely! You can all check it out at:
