Dynamic Announcements: Programmable Forum Home Announcement/Message with conditionals
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
This hack allows you to post powerful dynamic announcements (changing according to different conditions) on forum home page. It differs from vbulletin's default announcements in 2 ways:
Advanced Usage : With conditionals you can set different texts/notifications/messages/announcements and they will be displayed if your pre-configured condition applies. This allows you to create powerful announcements/private messages/texts which address their receipt only if a certain condition is met. Some examples: You can set to show an announcement in forum home IF:
The conditionals even allows you to design "Board Tips" ever changing according to user's seniority or post number. See how-to document for conditional usage and more info.. It's tested in both v.2.2.6 and v.2.2.7 but it should work with any versions > 2.0.3. (v.2.2.8 or later Users READ HERE!) I'm using it in my own board and a friend's board for more than a month and found it quite stable and released it. Although not likely, if you found any bugs, holler and I'll fix it.. Here is a Screenshot from a "general announcement". Here is a Screenshot of announcement which is addressed to a certain user. Some Features:
If you have problems displaying HTML/smilie/bbcode in your announcements, make this tiny change in hack code If you install the hack, click INSTALL, thank you.. Logician \\=^)) Show Your Support

Hmmm, I finally remembered this hack. Sheesh
Anyway, I have your dynamic templates hack installed, and that works wonderfully, but now I tried toi install this, and it does not seem to be doing anything. Would the fact that I renamed my index file to forums have anything to do with this? I applied the changes that were for index to my newly named index. If you follow what I mean. I receive no errors, nothing. It seems that I could do a similar thing with just modifying the forumhome template using your other hack. So...should I just use one and not both? Summary: I have renamed my index, and applied the hack to it. Shouwld this affect the hack adversly? Are your dynamic announcments and dynamic templates hacks compatible? |

Please check : 1- If you have more than 1 template sets, have you created D.Announcement hack template in all sets. 2- Have you clicked SAVE SETTINGS in vb options after installation. 3- If you have a conditional, does it apply when you check it? Or simply remove the conditional and see if it works |

Well, minus the running of the script, I will retry the whole installation.
I know how to apply hacks, and I know you do a great job on hacks, so it must have been somewhere that I messed up in applying it. I do have a couple styles, but they are forum dependant and not user-selectable. |

I just tried to use the <normalfont> tags in the announcement and it still shows smallfont and the tags themselves. I tried the fix from page nine of this thread and it didn't make any difference. Am I doing something wrong somewhere?

you need to edit that part in the hack's template:
<smallfont>$matches14[2]</smallfont> |

Ahhh, ok. I supposed I should have looked there before I bothered you with this. Sorry about that.
But there's no way to be able to do it in the announcement itself? That would make it easier if you want to change the size of text on the fly. |
