Hey really a good mod but there is no tutorial tht how to make it work?
i am not able to find it anywhere in admin menu after installtion in my 2 RC1 ??

You just have to make topics global, like you are setting them as sticky. You should be able to see the button in the moderator buttons area when you are viewing a topic.

If you want to hide global topics in some boards, you can disable the feature from Admin > Boards > modify (for the board) and you should see the related setting there.

Yes i already checked it but How to make a topic Global topic???

When i created a new topic or modified a topic in a board where
global topics is enabled there are only this options ???

Notify me of replies.    Lock this topic.
Return to this topic.    Sticky this topic.
Don't use smileys.    Move this topic.
Announce topic.

You should be able to see the button on Message Display screen. If you are not seeing it, you probably are using a custom theme. Using the manual installation instructions on the Mod Site, apply the theme edits to your custom theme files.

Sorry, I'm not planning to update it for SMF 1.1 versions. There are couple of similar mods you can use for your version.

Thanks Tenma for the screenshot :)
Please add this screen shot in MOd area so that users can know it easily :)

Indeed a great mod that reminds the Announcement topic of PHPBB ,, But as a suggestion try to make a space between Global topic and normal topics...

Very nice mod.I have a problem: I can't change the background color of global topics.I installed it on my custom theme,and changed the background-color for global on style.css.However,nothing happens.

In messageindex.template.php:

Quote// Calculate the colour class of the topic.
         if ($context['can_approve_posts'] && $topic['unapproved_posts'])
            $color_class = $topic['approved'] ? 'approvebg' : 'approvetbg';
elseif ($topic['is_global'])
$color_class = 'global';

         else
            $colour_class = !empty($settings['separate_sticky_lock']) && $topic['is_sticky'] ? 'windowbg6' : 'windowbg';



Is this right? any help,please?

Try doing a hard refresh on the page. (Ctrl + F5)

Lamarck

onepiece

Attach your style.css file here.
