Hey um how can I upload the global announcement to my forums after I downloaded it.

[chubbyboy]

It doesn't support utf. I try to post in chinese, but it displays . Any idea?

[chubbyboy]

my current linktree is like this

My forum >> Global Announcement > Board Policies

I want to change it to

My forum >> Global Chested Posts >> Board Policies

You guys know which file should I edit?

[squirrelof09]

SMF Version 1.1.1

8: Undefined index: global_announcements_mods
File: /home/*****/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2829

When I go in the admin panel I do not see the global announcements category to the left of the screen.

.
.
.
.

but in install.xml file which goes with hole GA package writes

Code Select Expand

<file name="$themedir/MessageIndex.template.php">
- <operation>
- <search position=[b]"after"[/b]>
- <![CDATA[ // Create the button set...
$normal_buttons = array(

  ]]>
  </search>
- <add>
- <![CDATA[ // Global Announcements...
if (isset($context['globalAnnouncements']) && count($context['globalAnnouncements']) != 0)
{
echo '

Manual Installation of Mods

[Farmacija]

i know fo that manual and i tried by hundreds time to install that mod following instructions in manual and simply doesn't work nd i'm share i quiet good replace or add everything its needed!

[JayBachatero]

Well in regards to your other post that is correct.  SMF has two formats for mod installation.  Boardmod and xml.  The xml can be a little more confusing to install from.  In the board mod we have <search><add after> but in xml we have <search position="before"><add>.  Meaning that the search goes before the add.  So it's like saying add after.

Take a look at SMF Package Parser - The perfect utility for installing mods manually.

parser isnt usefull at all

does your server have an error log that you can get to via FTP?  if there is, check out the scripts.log or something like that and see what's fouling up your forum.  It might be your Load.php file.  If you can restore that file from a previous version or from the latest SMF package, that might do the trick.

From there you'll have to add the lines of codes from your mods or something, but this might be your screen back.

I'm confussed.  Was this a user error or mod error?

I'm confussed.  Was this a user error or mod error?

After i uploaded this mod,my site went blank. I typed my URL and nothing showed. I renamed the index.php and everything came back up.  Im not really sure what happened but the mod is working just fine now.

You need to manually install that mod for the theme.
