Global Announcements

[twistmystic]

Hello Jay, i just installed your mod and i didnt find anything in this topic bout my problem. Here it is:

i installed your mod successfully and it all works. Except for downloaded themes. It works for default and it shows the Announcements and the Modifications section, but on the WoW theme i used the code:

Code Select Expand

//Global Announcements adminIndex text strings.
$txt['global_announcements_admin'] = 'Global Announcements';
$txt['global_announcements_mods'] = 'Mods';
$txt['whoallow_globalAnnouncementsAdmin'] = 'Managing the <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=globalAnnouncementsAdmin">Global Announcements</a>.';
$txt['whoall_globalAnnouncements'] = 'Viewing a Global Announcement';

and it showed the Modifications section and the Global Announcements, only thing it doesnt show is the ANnouncements on the forums. When i go to one of my threads It doesnt show the Global Announcements anywhere. But in Admin panel it shows the global announcements section.

Any ideas? If you already posted a solution, im sorry i must of misunderstood or i missed it.

You need to edit the MessageIndex.template.php file for the custom theme.

[twistmystic]

Sorry. Im new to SMF so idk what i should edit with what.

So i add this code to the messageindex.template.php ? or do i remove something and replace it?

[JayBachatero]

You add it.  Look at it.  It says to open the file for your theme and find the line.  After that it says add before.

[twistmystic]

What if i were to tell you i dont got the line

Code Select Expand

// Create the button set...
$normal_buttons = array(


I dont got that line at all. Here is the MessageIndex.Template.PHP [nofollow]
(note: I uploaded this to my server, it is the one im using for World of Warcraft theme!)


EDIT: Is every theme supose to have a Display.template.php? Cus mine does.

[JayBachatero]

No the only file that a theme *needs* to have is index.template.php then the rest are optional.  Also I cant download the file.

Hey Jay... I registered here to ask you a few questions...     I run a programming community at www.undug.net [nofollow] and have SMF forums.  I've seen your announce mod, and want it quite a bit. Its for an older version than 1.0.8 if i've seen correctly, and it doesn't work right when i try and install it via the plugin manager. Is there anyway i can get it on my 1.0.8 forum with a non-default theme now? or do i have to wait until you put out another script... which reminds me, what scripts of this sort are currently in development, if any?   Thanks alot man, i appreciate the help.

Well none of my mods are written for 1.0.8.  With a few tweaks it might work.  Why not use 1.1 RC3?

[twistmystic]

Did you rightclick the link then save as?

[JayBachatero]

You can't right click and save as for a php file.

[twistmystic]

i Do it all the time. Im using firefox... let me check with IExplorer. Dont work in IExplorer, if you got Firefox then try that. But if that dont work tehn tell me where to send the file so you can recieve it or ill upload it somewhere.

[JayBachatero]

Email it to [email protected].  The reason as to why you cant download it is because the file its being parsed.

[twistmystic]

Ok sent.

[JayBachatero]

Here you go.

[twistmystic]

what did you do to it?

Yup, is there a mod for a 1.0.8? Thanks in advance

[JayBachatero]

twistmystic:  I added the code so that it shows announcements on that theme.

pbcnx: I don't see myself backporting this mod any time soon.  Specially now that 1.1 final is around the corner.

[Robbins]

jay, can't you just tweak it a little for 1.0.8...  dude, its like the only mod i want really bad, but i'm not that great with php.  please,  i would like it to work for 1.0.8.  isnt there anything you can do?
