Alert mod simply adds BBC codes to the post reply box. Useful for when creating announcements.

Demo: Alerts (https://www.idesignsmf.com/index.php/page,page1511.html)

Making this little mod was prompted to my head when i was clearing the cache in admin this morning. The green alert box called my attention.

[Reserved]

I can see where this could be useful.

Not on my boards, though, as I doubt my members understand Latin  ::) ;)

Latin isn't that hard... Just 200 rows of grammar, 7293 words and a teacher.

Nice mod :)

lol latin was used for demo purposes.

Not bad for an hour worth the work.   Im thinking making this for admins only. As it is, every user can use it. It may be abused.

I can see this being useful to the average user really. What about adding a switch to the admin panel?

on/off?

I got a lil ahead yesterday. It has a dropdown just like the 'color change' dropdown. Only seen by users 1,2.

Something like this may be used...
[alert=green][/alert]

But im thinking im going the long way instead of the short way.

This is a perfect mod, thanks for share with us!

Thank you.

Glad you guys like it. ;)

Hi

I would really like to have this mod, looks cool.

I had it installed, the options appear very well on the menu on top, but they have no effect on the text in the message.

I guess its the laguage Im using: Spanish ES

Im using also core theme and SPortal

Any help on making this work with this language?

Thanks

I like the mod as it works well for news items.

Was adding this as a possible admin only option still in the works? If not, I just played around a bit and removed the arrays in the subs-editor.php. Looks like the code still works when you manually type in [yellowalert],[/yellowalert] yet hides the bbc icons in the reply box.

Is there any harm in doing it this way?

Figured 2 1/2 weeks was enough of a wait time to bump this. ;)

Any update in an admin only option, or at the very least; any harm in removing the arrays in the subs-editor.php so members couldn't see the tags? (I would like to use this mod just for the news)

Well, I don't know if you'd noticed, but Mick hasn't been active in over a month, so he wasn't going to answer you.

Removing the items from Subs-Editor.php prevents users seeing it, however it doesn't prevent them using it.

As I've found in the past with doing such things, there are all kinds of edge cases around such permission handling, and that it's generally not a smart idea except in very limited cases.

Personally if you have members that abuse it, a warning usually gets the point across...

Yeah, I hear you. Kind of figured it wasn't the best way to do it. I think this is a great mod, but personally I really only wanted to use it for highlighting different updates in the news, and not really in posts. When installed there are 3 new bbc icons that appear, and it would be kind of tough to say to the members "here are new shiny buttons, but don't use them". ;)

I know vbulletin has something like this for board news specifically, and kind of thought it was cool.

Nice Mod

when Update dont forget portuguese linguage

Sorry to bump a topic thats a year old but I was wondering if the Compatible With: on the mods page could be updated to the latest version I mean it works with 2.0.10

How can I disable this mod for regular members?  :-\

Uninstall the mod. Then, install the mod again and make sure you select the custom theme you are using.

If that doesnt work, simply add this code at the very end of Softer theme's css index file...



.red_alert {
        border: 1px dashed #d10000;
padding: 10px;
        background: #ff7d7d;
}
.green_alert {
border: 1px dashed #00bf00;
padding: 10px;
background: #95fa89;
}
.blue_alert {
border: 1px dashed #1f35db;
padding: 10px;
background: #659cdb;
}
.yellow_alert {
border: 1px dashed #edb415;
padding: 10px;
background: #faf889;
}

I havent done much investigating on 2.1. I'm waiting for rc3 to come out so I can upgrade myself and study the new code.

Thanks @Mick. for your response, you're very kind and keep it up. :)
Cheers. ;)

Mick

Do you know if this will work with 2.0.17 ? This looks brilll, but it would need to have admin only rules

Yes. i'm also waiting on RC3 to come out to revamp the mod for admins only.

I Found back the Alert mod

Hey mate have you done any work on this for 2.1?
Just curious not hassling.

I can't see any demo etc of what its supposed to look like but does it do prominent announcements similar to this on xenforo:
(blue box near top)
eg https://yttalk.com/threads/anyone-wanna-collab.301449/

no, arantor posted an image here of what it looks like
this just uses bbc in a post to stylize an "alert box" around the text
