Any idea how to make it display the announcements on the SFM2RC1 versions of the default YABB and Babylon themes ? It works perfectly fine on Core theme and most other 2RC1 custom ones.

@edi67: I make the mod for separate Sticky and Normal Topics , I just have to uploaded to the mod site , I will add support for the YAGAM Mod

Using newest module - however, when I try to add a new announcement I get the following error:
 

An Error Has Occurred!

[/t]

The installation have any error??

U have all the files mod uploaded??

292 Bug Fixed (I hope)

Bug with the delete comment string fixed

NIBOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOO great now work finally the more useful mod for SMF working thx again bro, i will attach italian translation immediately

Thanks for your comment and I will be happy if you help with the italian language

Just re-installed this mod and it works fine no more errors! There is one thing though, would it be possible to have the avatar under the member group rank in the announcement to make it the same layout as the rest of the forum?

The avatar is already a feature of this mods

Make the manual edit to the MessageIndex Files on that themes

Make the manual edit to the MessageIndex Files on that themes

I'd adore to. Unfortunately I can't find, in these themes' MessageIndex.template.php, the quotes that would allow me to locate where to add the YAGAM code, or what to replace with it. There is no "no topic, sorry bub" comment, I couldn't find any "if (empty($context['topics']))", and I'm not knowledgable enough to recognise the equivalents.

When you'll have some time, would it be complicated to have a quick look at these themes templates (or just babylon), and give me a few indications on what parts to change ? If you haven't erased them, you should have both Babylon and YABB by default on SMF.

YAGAM v1.5 will have Babylon and Classic theme support

Also spellchecker and announcement preview.

Any idea is more than welcome

Any idea is more than welcome

Well, I'm not sure how it can be ameliorated further, then.

Say, for the ideal usage I'd make of it, I'd need the announcement itself to be displayed directly on the "topicsllist"  page. That is :

Board name
---------
Announcement title.

Whole announ-
cement con-
tent (aka post
body) displayed
there.
---------
Topic title
---------
Topic title
---------
Topic title
---------
etc

Is that feasible, or already planned, or already available ?

NIGOBO: you might want to change the title of the FIRST post in this thread, as it still says 1.1.4 in the overall header.

[edi67]

NIBOGO: one little bug, permission for manage announcements NOT work for me, membergroups enabled to MANAGE them cannot create new announcements can ONLE edit one existent announcement, only admin can create new, others view only grey title not clickable, is possible give permission to create new to others usergroups ?

I am NIBOGO not NIGOBO

I change the versions in this way:

1.2 = 1.1.2
1.3 = 1.1.3
1.4 = 1.1.4


So the current version is 1.1.4 and the next release will be 1.1.5

I will check that , thanks for report

Edit : And permission problem is here..
I want to ; Guest can see announcement body but cannot comment. But Guest can see comment area and try commenting get this "You can`t comment this announcement".

[Nibogo]

Version 1.1.6 - Feb 23, 2009
- Fixed the Linktree and Redirect Bugs with the new URL Style
- Changed all the ManagePermissions Edit , Now the guest can comment too (with the permission of course) and the Manage YAGAM is an Administrative Permission

I hope of this new version is stable , Don't worry about the bugs actually I don't think in add more features so I hope of YAGAM will not have any additional bug 

[edi67]

Installed the last version 1.1.6 and well i have some problem too,

1° for make view and manage announcements to others usergroups i must move to part of mod in Admin.php and put in there:

Code Select Expand

<search position="before"><![CDATA[ 'postsettings' => array(
'label' => $txt['manageposts'],
'file' => 'ManagePosts.php',
'function' => 'ManagePostSettings',
'permission' => array('admin_forum', 'moderate_forum'),
'icon' => 'posts.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'posts' => array($txt['manageposts_settings'], 'admin_forum'),
'hidetagspecial' => array($txt['manageposts_hidetagspecial_settings'], 'admin_forum'),
'bbc' => array($txt['manageposts_bbc_settings'], 'admin_forum'),
'censor' => array($txt['admin_censored_words'], 'moderate_forum'),
'topics' => array($txt['manageposts_topic_settings'], 'admin_forum'),
// Add the tab for the Highlight Message Backgrounds Mod Sub Action .
'highlightmessagebackgrounds' => array($txt['HighlightMessageBackgrounds_tab_heading'], 'admin_forum'),
),
),]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
        'announcements' => array(
'label' => $txt['yagam_admin'],
'file' => 'Announcements.php',
'function' => 'AnnouncementsAdmin',

I installed 1.1.6 also and can't edit or delete announcements. Can't add comments either.

All of these give a:

An Error Has Occurred!

100th post! Sweet!

[drhamad]

Yeah there's definitely a problem going on here.  Existing announcements work, but can't edit or create new ones.

[fords8]

I can make a new one!

Version 1.1.6.2 - Feb 23, 2009
- Fixed more bugs with the new URL Style
- Changed the admin.php editing with a new position of the YAGAM Panel and Add Global Announcement subsection
- More, more and yet more bug fixing

I really need a bug tracker for YAGAM
