Did you set the Usergroup Permissions?

[TWTCommish]

Hmm, no, I hadn't. I didn't see any mention of it when installing, or when reading the readme, so I didn't realize usergroup permissions were involved.

That certainly fixes the problem, though. Thanks very much! Great hack. I plan to use it for scrolling site updates and news and such, rather than tips. Seems like it could be used for almost anything.

Odd: the tips are showing up, but they appear even if I don't add $GLOBALS[tip] to my navbar. What's more, they show up in the middle of the navbar template. Is the hack somehow inserting the variable itself, without the template edit?

Yes, the Templateedits are Done automaticaly. Go to the Hackoptions and Disable the Setting "Enable "Automatic Templateedits"".

Thanks! This is a wonderful code mod. =)

I'm using it for the Hope for Another Day Foundation forum. We're using it differently, not tips, but we are using the Did you know...? header to our advantage with excerts like:

Every minute that ticks by...another life is lost in Darfur, due to a genocide, a genocide that major countries have been ignorant of, and organizations refuse to help.

Every 41 minutes, a wish for a terminally ill child is granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. A total of 149,179 wishes have been granted. Truly yours, Nicholas Burrus, Head Chairholder is one of them.

Thanks again!

Ahh...thanks

How do I change the background color of the tip box or some other color css. I think you should make it configurable in ACP for the font size, type, color, etc

I'LL not add norma?l Options - if i would do so, you could not set the Color for each Style. Please edit the Template tip.
