have you tried it with one of the default styles if it works or not?

i asked that to determine if it something to do with the template edit or with the other file edits.

could you pse check if it works with one of the default styles.
thanks

Hi,
I am using the latest phpbb 3.0.4.
While setting up the announcement centre, everything was OK till the step for upgrading the posting.php.

I couldn't find the

Code: Select all

	generate_smilies('window', $forum_id);

Therefore I was unable to add the lines

Code: Select all

		if ( (int) request_var('announce', 0) == 1 )
		{
		 generate_smilies('window', 0, 1);
		}
		else
		{
		 generate_smilies('window', $forum_id);
		}

How can I continue to installation of the MOD?

in phpbb3.0.4 it is on line 104

this is what is around it

Code: Select all

    break;

    case 'smilies':
        $sql = '';
        generate_smilies('window', $forum_id);
    break;

    case 'popup':

Hi,

My board is using differrent templates then the standard delivered ones.
What needs to be changed exactly in the layout templates to show the announcement in a different template?

Thanks for the great mod. Just what I was looking for.

is there maybe a possibility that someone creates a new instructions list for PHP 3.0.4 on how to install the announcement centre? since i cant seem to find most of the code where i need to look for in most files

try to find out what your templates are based on, if they are based on prosilver take the files from the prosilver style, if subsilver2 the one from that style.

also, you may not be able to find the exact finds from the instructions so you will need to do a bit of trial and error there. basically look for the VARS in the {}brackets, like {VARIABLE}

i just found all the finds all on 3.0.4 without a problem so there is nothing wrong with the instructions

UPDATE : sorry my mistake

kaanuslu · Post by **kaanuslu** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 7:42 pm

This MOD crashes my forum completely. The instructions must be re-written at once.

I am using 3.0.4 prosilver.

UPDATE : if you upload wrong files ofcourse it wont work

There is nothing wrong with the instructions, you have simply followed them incorrectly.Restore your backup and then read these links before trying again

Files names are not machting.
There are no "styles/prosilver/template/announcement_smilies.html ". Instead all I see under "styles/prosilver/template/" is an folder named ADS !

"root/includes/acp/acp_announcements_centre.php " >>> root/includes/acp/acp_ads.php
Plus, there is a folder named INFO under includes/acp/???
And so on .....
Any comment

You are either looking at the wrong files or the wrong installation instructions.

you seem to be looking at the announcement instructions but are trying to use the files of this mod.

Exactly !
I've downloaded two MODs in the same time and look for the wrong one.

MOD installed, the sample announcement is working. But when I intseted something in turkish I received the following error:

Code: Select all

There is a problem with turkish font.

Perhaps make sure UTF-8 support is enabled on your database?

kaanuslu · Post by **kaanuslu** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 9:49 pm

I am using Notepad++ as editor. There is an option for UTF-8. But which files do I have to save in UTF-8 ?

check the collation of the tables in your database and change the one from the announcement centre to match the ones of your other tables.
