Are you making a fresh install or upgrading from an older version?
If your upgrading, try uninstalling your old version and re-installing the modification by using the fresh install product of version 1.2

Installed and working, but I have 1 suggestion, and 1 question.

Suggestion, BB code compatible, it's nice that HTML works, but still, BB code would be nice too.

Question, Is there a reason it doesn't display on a vBAdvanced home page? I tried directly editing the vBAdvanced templates with the $globalannounce and it's as if it doesn't exist no matter where I put it (even though I shouldn't have to since it's in the NavBar).

Any idea?

I figured it out...

Anyone that wants to add these announcements to the vBa home page, open up includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php

Toward the bottom of the script find:

Code:

global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $show, $pmbox, $vba_options, $vba_style, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $gobutton, $pagetitle, $pagecache, $db;

Add:

Code:

, $globalannounce

after the last entry, and before the ;

So it should look like:

Code:

global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $show, $pmbox, $vba_options, $vba_style, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $gobutton, $pagetitle, $pagecache, $db, $globalannounce;
