[AJAX] News/Announcements · **Released**: 04-08-2007

With this add-on you can quickly add new or announcements on your forum's index, forum display, or thread display. Each forum and thread can have their own unique message.

In the vBulletin options you can choose which user's can edit the text by entering their user ID into the box.
You can choose whether or not moderators can edit the message in the forums they moderate.
You can choose if you want the news/announcements to display on forum home, forum display, or thread display.

You can use bbcode and HTML but only if HTML tags have bbocde to convert to.
For example if you type <b></b> it'll convert to [b][/b].

Here are some screensohts

I installed per instructions, go to my forum, set my message, click outside the box. and the message displays 'false' and no changes get made. If i reload the page, the default message is shown.

Couldn't add News originally in firefox to no avail, but worked flawlessly in IE. You an see the news once entered in IE but you can't enter it. So I'm adding news from IE but it looks great in FF too. Thanks for such a great mod.. wish I had known it wouldn't allow me to edit in FF but it worked out. Thanks!

This is not working for me at all

I have global message turned on - but looking in the mysql table it's still saving the messages I type into a specific forum in the database

But then when you go around the site its always pulling the first message out!!

Fuzzy Orange · #70 07-01-2007, 09:21 AM

OK it seems to work as long as I only ever edit the message when im on the index page!!

Could do with some polishing of the php code, as if you have global message on but edit the message inside one of the forums, that message just saves into the database with the forum location and obviously never gets displayed

PHP code needs changing so that if you have global message turned on then it saves the message in the database with a location of "global" and always shows this "global" message on every page!

Also if you put bbcode in the message - when you click to edit it again you get the actual html instead, and that wont save again!

Uninstalled - way too many bugs and unfinished product

Decided to just put a global message hard coded into the navbar template instead!
