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

[jaliam]

$globaltemplates = array(
'calendar_smallmonth_day',
'calendar_smallmonth_day_other',

I was able to implement this change, vbDev, but the news isn't displaying at all. I already activated the display news box on forum but I do not see anything. How can I make it show? Thanks!

Wowie, config.php is found in the includes folder. Check in there first. Thanks!

Wowie, just copy this replace what you have in your /forums/index file. It should work...

$globaltemplates = array(
'FORUMHOME',
'forumhome_birthdaybit',
'forumhome_event',
'forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost',
'forumhome_forumbit_level1_post',
'forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost',
'forumhome_forumbit_level2_post',
'forumhome_lastpostby',
'forumhome_loggedinuser',
'forumhome_moderator',
'forumhome_pmloggedin',
'forumhome_subforumbit_nopost',
'forumhome_subforumbit_post',
'forumhome_subforumseparator_nopost',
'forumhome_subforumseparator_post',
'news',
'news_news',
'news_fin'
);

Wowie, you must first create that table you are running before it can be executed. Maybe others can help you out on this as I'm not very good with PHPMyAdmin and MySQL. Sorry.

[maverick1236]

anyway you can get the news ticker to only show 4 guests?

[M@rkus]

@VBDev:

Nice Hack, installed!

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??
