Hello. Is there a mod for SMF 2.1 that allows to add an announcement inside the board? I mean that after entering the board, the user sees, for example, the introduced rules on a red background. phpBB has something like this:

There is no such mod for Smf 2.1.x a.f.a.i.k.

Though, board descriptions can be shown inside a board - and if you want you can basically achieve what is shown in the picture through that and some theme editing.

I use ezportal and create a BBC block to display where you want it and use this mod to insert a red, green, grey or yellow (I think) alert message. ;)

Thanks for the informations. Such a mod would be useful. :)

How can I put a board description inside a board?

Shades, thanks for the info. I use TinyPortal, so I can probably do it the same way as in ezPortal. I'll check it. :)

I believe this used to be optional, but I'm not actually sure if this is the case anymore or if it's simply default behaviour (tried to check this, couldn't find the setting right now), but board descriptions can be shown on the forum index and the board index like in my attachment here. How exactly it is shown, is theme dependent, and so customizable.

The basics,

1: Create a Upper panel BBCode block
2: Choose the membergroups that will able to see this block
3: Actions: Post
4: Boards: Select the board you want it to show in.
5: Turn on block and save.

Tweak Frame options as desired.

I know that, I used the BBC Message Boxes mod and this mod did what I wanted but I gave up using this mod because it has no permissions, I don't want the bbcode that this mod provides can be used by everyone on the forum. That's why I'm waiting for an update to the Message Boxes mod that has these settings. Unfortunately, I misunderstood lurkalot a bit, I thought he wrote that you on TinyPortal support use such an announcement with a red background.

@lurkalot anyway thanks for the information.

If you don't want to use that mod you can still do it in TinyPortal using a php block and doing the css / html inline.
