Forum Announcement(s) on CMPS

[Shon]

This adds the latest announcement(s) to vBadvanced CMPS from a specific or multiple forums.

You will need to edit $sqltext within announcements.php depending on how you want to use it. Read note inside of file for more information.

BB Code, Smilies, and HTML are parsed per announcement settings.

Follow instructions in text file

Right off hand, I'm not sure about each page... if it's not added in the next version or if there is a big demand for it, I may try to add it on to the admin cp options... but I think you said one time that each usergroup would see a different announcement or something. So if that is the case, you could do the following:

In announcements.php find the line that begins:

$forumid =

and replace with:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==XX)
{
		$forumid = "XX";
}
elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==XX)
{
		$forumid = XX;
}

Repeat this directly after for as many usergroups as you would like.

elseif ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==XX)
{
		$forumid = XX;
}

But other than that right now... I'm not really sure about. I'm only showing announcements on one page with announcements per usergroup. So I didn't really get deep in it ;x

Ok I understand, I will try something. I just wonder how you can look wat ?page= is. Maybe Brian knows;-)
Thanks for the help so far.. I am really happy. Now I can do something.. Only one thing I must find out and that is if there is a way to use the WYSIWYG editor with Announcement(s)..

[pdatotaal]

Get it working like this

PHP Code:

 if ($getpage==psion)
 {
    $forumid = 63;
 }
 elseif ($getpage==pocket)
 {
        $forumid = 39;
} 


But is there a way to put $forumid = # in a template?

[Shon]

I don't think so

If there were more people interested in this, I would probably try to put it in with the CMPS settings per page... but it seems like you're the only one interested ;x

Great job, Shon - this is the very thing I've been waiting for!

Viks, Did you ever get the problem fixed? Looking at your code above, it looks like a typo on the filename. There is no letter 'C' in your announcements.php.

I get the same error
What do we fill in here?
// get announcements
$announcebits = '';
$announcements = $DB_site->query("
SELECT

Did you ever figure it out?

I just implemented the code - I really like - nice and simple...

It would be great if this was integrated more with AdminCP to make forum changes and choices - but that's way over my head...

BTW - the error is something in this line in the php file:

//Forum(s) to pull announcements from
$forumid = 1;

Post your php code down to:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------
// end configuration - no other changes necessary
//------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know this was 2 months ago - but you never know if you still need help...

Currently I have the Annoucement working on the CMPS page by setting up in the forums CP under Annoucements and placing under one forums catagory. My question is how can you put the annoucement in every forums catagory and still be able to refrence the CMPS annoucment to open up and view it completley if you so desire? Basicly if I just make it Global and not assign any one forum but choose to put in All Forums it will show up on the CMPS page but not refrence back to any one catagory or allow you to click on it without displaying a error. Does this make sense?

So how would I solve this issue.

Yeah .. I've just noticed this too

Any help to get this fixed would be great ..

I'm also after a way of getting different announcements on different pages btw .. so if someone comes up with a way of getting that to work please let us all know ..

Thanks

[Slave]

No one able to fix this problem with this module?

[dleblanc]

I was waiting for a response but don't know if it can be fixed or not?

[Slave]

Still waiting .. I can't believe no one else is having this issue with this module ..

[Slave]

I'm afraid that's not the problem I'm having Viks ..

Looking at the error you're having I would go back and look at the code you inserted .. seems like there's an extra comma somewhere where it shouldn't be ..
