Global Announcement Popup v1.5 · **Released**: 10-24-2004

As requested by Overlord, here it is. The "Popup At New Global Announcement"!

This hack's function is quite simple. Whenever you add a Global Announcement (IE one that will display in All Forums), all users will see a popup notifying them of this.
(See screenshot)

I won't make it recurring (IE if user clicks Cancel, they get to see the popup again), because it will piss users off.
And I won't have it displaying for Local Announcements (IE announcements that are only displayed in 1 forum) because this would clutter an user's screen if it is an active forum where lots of announcements are made.

Tested and working on 3.0.3, but should work on 3.x.x fine.
Enjoy!

This is perfect! Up to now I've had to edit my navbar template and hard code stuff to ensure it was seen. Thanks for sharing this one.

Ok, some of my members are receiving a no permision page when they click 'ok' on the announcement. even tho the announcements are global. even super mods are getting the permission denied page.

Any idea what'sc ausing this?

Crap... I know whats causing this...
When I wrote the code to decide what forum the announcement should be in (because you cant just view an announcement, it has to be in a forumid), I queried the forums dbase and ordered by RAND(), so it takes a random forum id.
So if a forum smods cant enter is chosen, the announcement is pwned.

Ill try to fix this when I get home.

Yeah I see :P I checked the php and saw where you did this, although I don't know php very well, just changing it to link to any specific forum anyone can view would work would it not? if you can alter the code to allow users to just replace whatever is there with their 'news' forums id number or whatever that would be handy.
