I have installed the acp_announcement_center i installed the mod successfully..
but now i have a problem there was a file to edit which was as below

Open: styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
Find
Tip: This may be a partial find and not the whole line.

CODE:SELECT ALL
<strong>{L_INFORMATION}:</strong> {L_BOARD_DISABLED}
<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
</div>

Add after
Tip: Add these lines on a new blank line after the preceding line(s) to find.

CODE:SELECT ALL


i did that.. but i am usind the aero red style.. which does not have the above code to edit.. the changes of the mod occur in prosilver but not in aero red style..

Does this mod require 3.05? I'm running an earlier version but just wondering if that's a problem. Not practical to upgrade at this time.

Also, I just tried installing it and got this error:

Language file info_acp_announcement_centre.php couldn't be opened

The file is there.

shouldnt be a problem if you are on 3.0.4.
do you have us_en by any chance as language and uploaded the file to en? just wondering as you shouldn't really get that error otherwise.

no, not all, only the latest post of a forum or topic.

if i remember correctly, try and look for the breadcrumbs.html include in the overall_header and place it above or below. sorry, it has been a while since i had that installed. the announcement_centre.html can be found in the download of the third post in this topic. aero_blue should work just as well for aero red.

Hello,

I don't know if you are still replying to posts here, but here goes.

Ok, I installed the mod - fantastic, well done.

My only question is this.

I have installed the mod into the overall header file and it displays correctly.

The only thing is, Google picks up what is displayed in the announcement center and adds that to all the Google results.

My site is at www.nvidiadefect.com but if you go to Google and type site:nvidiadefect.com you will see what I mean.

Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hope you don't mind me asking this question.

Best wishes

Paul

is this a separate guest announcement?

anyway, what you could try is, in the overall_header

find

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE announcement_centre.html -->

replace with

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT -->
<!-- INCLUDE announcement_centre.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

Hello,

I would like to align to the left all the announcements - how can I do it?

Thnak you.

hi, in the acp you are able to set the alignment of the announcements.

you should be able to change the text-colour by just adding a <span style="font-color:red;"> in the announcement_centre.html where it refers to the announcements. are referring to prosilver?

adiz · Post by **adiz** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:50 am

Yes - I'm referring to prosilver.

i would like to change the color of text that I have attached as an attachment.

lefty74 · Post by **lefty74** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:28 pm

the following find replace needs to be done on two occasions in announcement_centre.html
find

Code: Select all

<th style="text-align:left;">

replace with

Code: Select all

<th style="text-align:left; color:red;">

instead of red, use the colour code you want to use.

Thank you.

Now I have another issue. My forum crashed and I have restored it from an old backup.

My Announcement center disappeared so I just reinstall it again.

Now, in the ACP I can see the admin panel. However, in the forums itself, I cannot see the Announcement section.

What can I do to fix it?

Thank you.

P.S - I refreshed all the files so it's not a cache issue.

lefty74 · Post by **lefty74** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 7:03 pm

did you refresh the template files as well in the acp?

also, make sure the overall_header.html edit is correct and uploaded.

Thank you - I fixed the problem by reinstall the mod again.

Thank you for your time!

adiz · Post by **adiz** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 11:01 pm

I would like to change the border background with a different color (see attached screen shot).

Which file need to be edited for that matter?

Thank you.

lefty74 · Post by **lefty74** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 8:36 pm

in announcement_centre.html

you could try to change this (two times)

Code: Select all

<div class="forumbg">

to

Code: Select all

<div class="forabg">

That's correct lefty.

Aslo correct.

if you get any errors along the way please let me know.

Did this, and is still the same thing.

What would happen if I did a restore of my database?
