Todesengel wrote:Great mod, I got it to work but I had some problems. Main problem was, your SQL says to create this table.

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE `phpbb_announcement_centre`
And then the mod is requesting this table

Code: Select all

ANNOUNCEMENTS_LEFTY74_TABLE', 
All I had to do was change the name of the table in the codes. Is there anyway to add the annoucement to the overall_header?

Also my guests see the same message my reg users do, they are not seeing the announcement_guest_text when a guest is browsing. Any ideas on where I can start? I dug through the code as much as possible and I cannot figure out why it will not work. My SQL tables are updating with the information that I have put in the guest field. But it is not displaying it. Here is my code for the disply in index_body.tpl. (I am using the scrolling one I found on your site.)

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN announcement_displayed --> 
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" class="forumline"> 
<tr> 
<th class="thCornerL" height="25" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_ANNOUNCEMENT}&nbsp;</th> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td class="row1" width="100%"><span class="gen"><marquee align="middle" behavior="scroll" direction="left" height="30" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="8" loop="true" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">{SITE_ANNOUNCEMENTS_LEFTY74}</marquee></span></td> 
</tr> 
</table><br /> 
<!-- END announcement_displayed --> 
<!-- BEGIN guest_announcement_displayed --> 
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="forumline"> 
<tr> 
<th class="thCornerL" height="25" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_ANNOUNCEMENT}&nbsp;</th> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td class="row1" width="100%"><span class="gen"><marquee align="middle" behavior="scroll" direction="left" height="30" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="2" loop="true" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">{GUEST_ANNOUNCEMENTS_LEFTY74}</marquee></span></td> 
</tr> 
</table><br /> 
<!-- END guest_announcement_displayed -->
hi, there was actually no need to change the table names in the code as in the includes/constants everything is taking care of.

I am at work at the moment but will have a look tonight. I do not believe that the scrolling bit was for the latest version though,I never tested it myself to be honest.

One thing I would ask you though is to
a. doublecheck your edits
b. make sure that in the ACP 'Show Site announcements to:' is not set to Everyone but to registered members

cheers

Yes, it worked fine for me when I tested it with Easymod. However, I only tested it on Vanilla boards, not on heavily modded boards.

Here is the code in my constants file, even when I put the standard code back in, it keeps saying the database does not exist. Maybe I left something out? I triple checked the installation, line by line and I still cant get the guest announcement to show up. When I changed it to registered users only can see it, guest announcements still does not appear. I am lost at this point.

Code: Select all

// BEGIN ACP Site Announcement Centre MOD lefty74
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_TABLE', $table_prefix.'phpbb_announcement_centre');
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_SHOW_ALL', 0);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_SHOW_REG', 1);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_SHOW_MOD', 2);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_SHOW_ADM', 3);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_SHOW_YES', 1);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_SHOW_NO', 0);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_GUEST_YES', 1);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_GUEST_NO', 0);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_FORUM_TOPIC_LATEST', 1);
define('phpbb_announcement_centre_FORUM_TOPIC_FIRST', 0);
// END ACP Site Announcement Centre MOD lefty74

Hi, thanks for this mod.

Now i have an problem, this don't appears on admin board.
I use the integramod and presume i have done everting ok.
i can acess directly to the file if i wrigt the adress, just don't see on admin board.

btw CrackerTracker bloks this mod, to bypass include, "define('CT_SECLEVEL', 'LOW');" after "define('IN_PHPBB', 1);" on admin_announcement_centre.php

hi, i just found the reply i sent to someone that had integramod installed:
lefty74 wrote: Hi,
I had a quick look at integramod, i noticed they have a subfolder called modules in the admin folder.

You could try to create a file called admin_announcement_centre.php with the follwoing contents and stick it in there.

Code: Select all

<?php
/***************************************************************************
 *                      	admin_announcement_centre.php
 *                     	 -------------------
 *   begin		: Sunday, Feb 25, 2007

 *   email              	: [email protected]
 *
 *  
 *
 *
 ***************************************************************************/

if( !empty($setmodules) )
{
	$file = basename(__FILE__);
	$module['General']['Announcements'] = $file;
	return;
}

?>
If that does not work I recommend to ask on the integramod site, they probably know the answer straight away. This does not mean I don't want to help, just that they will probably more capable in helping.
cheers

one question...
Do you have to use the standard phpBB theme (Subsilver) to use any mods???
i haven't been able to install any mod on the other theme, the files that have to be change in the "subsilver" dir i hve change the in the other dir, let's say my theme is "pinksilver" i have then changed the files accordingly to the install, file but when it comes to ".../theme/subsilver" i have changed the files in ".../theme/pinksilver" so back to my question can i only mod if i use the standard theme???

i have a whole bunch of problems that i can't solve with ACP 1.2.3...

you should be able to install it on most themes. However, the finds for the templates in the install isntructions would not be 100% accurate. there is only one edit to make so shouldnt be that much of a problem.

have you tried easymod?
