I hope to get version 1.2 out tonight - it will contain one new feature:

'Global Announcement Page' - This will add a link to a seperate page, where you can add a more descriptive announcement.

Hey, nice idea. Looking forward to it. Or, can you make it to link to a page of our choice??? I use it to make announcements for my vbdrupal section (and it works quite well for that!)

Sure I'll include that as an option in the admincp

Marky · #48 01-12-2006, 07:51 PM

I've created an option to include a link to the title of your announcement, and also an option to turn on and off, a 'More...' link, which will link to the same link as the title and will appear at the end of your announcement should you want to include more.
I must now create the option to turn the link on and off, and also create the page in which you can re-direct to include the 'more' announcement

But I must dash now, so I'll release it when it's finished tommorow

Thanks,

Marky

Sorry for the delay in the latest release - I've just currently taken on a new project and it's hard work getting it all done

I'll try and rap the new release up for tommorow morning
