How do I create a table?

[Mahar]

Okay...I'm looking to create a Table for my announcements...to completely replace my announcement box right now.

I want to create a table that has four columns and have it look like this:
________________________________________________
Announcements | Created By | Date Created | Views
________________________________________________

With the possibility for infinite rows so the announcements can stay shown up.

<table>
<tr>
<td>Announcements</td><td>Created By</td><td>Date Created</td><td>Views</td>
</tr>
</table>

Where would I put that into my templates to make that my new announcement table though?

Owe on forum home or as a new annoucement that your able to update by the annoucements link the the acdmincp.

The second one. I'm looking for a way to make that my announcements table...as in..instead of the box for announcements above each forums threads, it's that table with each row being a different announcement.

can you do a sample screen shot on what you want ..kinda got idea but not sure

[Mahar]

Yeah, not a problem.

This is exactly how I am aiming to make the table:

That is exactly how I am trying to make my announcement box.

Make a backup first of your own template before you do anything. This is working on a test board that is not modified at all but the standard template. if you have problem it could be mod and just post up your code and i can take a look at it .

the two templates you need to backup are
1. FORUMDISPLAY
2. threadbit_announcement

this is where all the modifications where added.

YOU need to backup both of those and then download the ones i have put up and cut and paste them into the appropriate template. I am not held liable if something is not working right when you apply this modification. If that happens post your code up here and I will take a look at it.Also if you run into problems just cut and paste your old code back.

this modification was a tricky one as it affected two different things. Enjoy

here is a screen shot. i have put in yellow what was changed

also if you want it to show all the announcment you can change a setting in vbulletin .thanks to mahar for showing me

vBulletin Options -> Forum Display Options(forumsdisplay) -> Group Announcements
change that option to list them out .

Thank you very much. I was beginning to think it was never going to be done and I was going to be out of luck. You're awesome!
