Got such mods?

[eric1234]

I search in the modification and cant seem to find 1.

I want a mod that when i posted something on the news and announcements board, i can make a notice that will appear at the top of the forum in every forum pages with a title i prefer that link all the members to the announcements tread that i just make. Like in the attachment . Do SMF got such mods?

Have you tried the Forum News feature in the Admin panel?

You can use bbc to add links masked over text, and they'll appear on every page.

Only thing is it wont automatically make it.  when you post the new topic, you'll have to manually create the news item link for it to appear.

Eh mind to elaborate more on how to manually create the news item link for it to appear?

Same way you'd put a link in a post, both use regular bbc.

[url=http://whatever...]Text that should be a link[/url]

[NanoSector]

Just go to Admin > Admin dropdown > News and Newletters (if I'm correct) and you can input everything.

For example,
Go to my site and get 50% off!
will be:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

[url=http://mysite.com/]Go to my site and get 50% off![/url]

You can even input multiple items so SMF cycles through them randomly.

[hcfwesker]

Also, to add, goto Admin > Theme Settings > ( chose theme name)

UNcheck this item :  Enable random news line in the forum header:

And CHECK this item : Show news fader on board index:

^ doing that will make it appear at the top of the forum in a table.  http://www.brawldomain.com/AASMF2/index.php?nowap  <-- youill see the News table at the top. 

Use the instructions from the above post to Add your links, and the news box will make them appear randomly every few seconds.

[eric1234]

I see. Thank you very much for that.

How that forum do that? I mean making different sentences appeared? @.@


However, the news only shown it on the home main page, not in the boards or topics >.< How can i set them to be visible in everywhere in the forum?

Where you added the News item, there's a button under the box you typed ... theres a link labeled "Click here to add another item."

However, the news only shown it on the home main page, not in the boards or topics >.< How can i set them to be visible in everywhere in the forum?

Hope you can handle some php editing in files.  Make the same edits in custom theme files if they have one of these 2 listed files.

Some themes have code changes, and as such not every theme has the same comments.

Can you attach your Index.template.php here, in your next post? Thanks.

[eric1234]

[hcfwesker]

Try placeing the code ABOVE this in that file.

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show the navigation tree.
theme_linktree();

[eric1234]

Is place after that code right?

haha, anyway, what if the theme only got index but no boardindex file??

Oh ya. this is the index file of my another theme .. i cant find it again >.<

Oh ya, do you got any solution of this problem? >.<

Erm, got any idea how to change the News to Notices? @.@

[hcfwesker]

Before or After, really doesnt matter.  Before shows it before the linktree, After shows it under the link tree & above the first Category listed ( as it is on my test site).  http://www.brawldomain.com/AASMF2/index.php?nowap

what if the theme only got index but no boardindex file??

index.template code appear on all pages.  Ignore the changes to a custom themes BoardIndex file if it doesnt have one.
