ACP Announcement Centre

strange, i have never come across this problem before and I have installed this mod countless times...

so you install with automod, run the install/index.php and the user and group tab disappears?

Did you see the announcement modules in the .MODs tab?

ok sorry for the confuesion... i had done countless searches looking for a mod and all it ever came up with is the 1.2.3 version which i didnt realize until now that it was only for phpbb2 so i found the version 1.2.2 for phpbb and installed it and everything works perfect the user group tab only disapears if your trying to install the phpbb 2 version so just a little bit of information incase u never tested the 1.2.3 version on phpbb3 and incase anyone else ever runs into the same problem

Hey, I tried installing this mod and something must have gone wrong... when I tried going to the install folder I got this error messages so I tried deleting it because I was getting error messages in my ACP too so I was going to restore a backup file and I was unable to.

I went through all the files I edited and tried making them normal and now I get this error message when I go to my board.

http://thefirstfleet.x10hosting.com/forum/

I tried using PHPMYADMIN to restore my board but it didn't work :S

It's sorta important that I get it fixed, can anyone help me make my board go back to normal?

I half fixed the problem..

I just downloaded a new version of PHPbb3 and FTPed the files that were edited in the install of announcement centre.

Only problem is I have to install two more mods, next time I'll remember to back up my files.

Hopefully I can get this mod working this time.

Cheers.

next time you run into problems please also post the error messages you are getting. also, make sure you edit your files with a decent text editor like e.g. notepad++ as the language files need to be saved in UTF8 without BOM format.

That's normal, click on New Installation and the script should do the rest.

Okay thanks, Is notepad++ just the normal notepad? and what do you mean they need to be saved in UTF8 without BOM? I just edit the files with notepad then close and save then re upload them, is that correct?

First I want to say, I apologize if this problem/question has already been addressed in this thread. I searched on keywords but did not find it and 155 pages is a bit to much to read thru manually

I installed this mod using the automod installer. I received no errors with the files or database update. I actually did this yesterday and didn't think I had any issues with it and even typed in an announcement message and it displays fine but today, I noticed in another forum I installed this same mod on, there is a new tab in acp > permissions > admin roles. However, in this forum there is no extra tab. In misc it has "{ acl_a_announcement_centre }" with the weird brackets?!?

Does anyone have any idea to what the problem might be and what I should check? Thanks!

Nevermind, I figured it out! I needed to copy the language mods. Ie. /en/mods/*.* to my /en_us/mods directory.

How do I put an announcement for guests and one just for members? I'm really confused here.

notepad++ is not the normal notepad. once you have downloaded it you can see under Format that you can convert or save it as UTF8 without BOM.

I would recommend to do that.

it's mentioned in the acp

you will need to set show announcementes to groups and then highlight the registered user group or whichever group you wish to show the regular announcement to.

once you have the normal announcements set to show to groups, you can display a different announcement to guest users.
