What is it?
----------------------------
This mod adds new criteria that can be used to configure when a notice will be displayed or not. (These came from separate requests in the forums which I decided to release as one mod.)
1) Show notice only on one or more days of the week
2) Show notice for any style other than one selected style
3) Show notice only for specified threadids (in this case the notice will on display on the showthread and newthread pages).
4) Show notice if THIS_SCRIPT value is (or is not) in specified list of values
5) Show notice if user has been registered for more/less than a certain number of days
6) Show notice only during certain months
7) Show notice only when user is/is not browsing selected forums (this duplicates the functionality of the standard functions, but adds flexibility).
Installation:
----------------------------
Just import the product XML file from the Product Manager. The new criteria will appear when adding or editing a notice in the Notices Manager.
Notes:
1) Should work on 3.X and 4.X versions.
2) Since notices aren't shown on the register.php page, adding "register" for the "THIS_SCRIPT value is" option will not work. If you want to show notices on the register page, you must edit the navbar template and remove the check for THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'.
Hey KH, any way to add/update the usergroup settings? I'd like to show a notice to all usergroups except x,y, and z. The only way to do this is to make a lot of the same notices for each group I do want to show it to (upward of 15+). Would be a great feature to add! ^^
Sorry guys, I guess I missed your posts. I haven't had time to work on the "weekly" thing, sorry. The group thing seems like it shouldn't be very hard so I'll look at that (maybe you've figured out something else by now, but I can add it in any case).

I could not see how to do that with the current options available).
Are you talking about social groups? I can look in to that.
Are you able to add in a way for us to show a notice ONLY if they are on a specific page.
I would like to have my notice only appear if people are viewing the activity.php page.
Is that at all possible?
I think the most needed feature is to allow selecting multiple usergroups for viewing notice.
You know, I think someone had that covered in a different mod, but I guess it's gone now. I can't even find that user's account. He was one of those people who liked to leave and remove everything, to make some point I guess, and then come back later. I guess he left again. Or else I'm not searching for the right thing.
In any case, I can add that. I'm trying to make some time to actually work on some updates I promised long ago.
OK, I was wrong, pretty much about everything. I was thinking about this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=281087 and I couldn't find it because I was searching for the wrong thing, I couldn't find the member because I forgot he changed his user name, and that mod doesn't allow selecting multiple usergroups anyway.

Hah, more like me xD.
My members have just reported that they could see notices in a hidden forum. Of course they couldn't access that forum, but the notices were still there.
Imo this must be a bug for criteria "user is browsing forum".
All those standard criterias will not work, only multi select for usergroups may do.

Just to clarify, the "user is browsing forum" I mentioned is default criteria of vbulletin, I haven't tested your mod.
I'll give it a try when I'm home.
