[MODDB] ACP Announcement Centre 1.2.0

lefty74 · Post by **lefty74** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:10 am

you must have had still some sql left from the previous version which is why the install file thinks you already installed the announcement centre.

try the following next time, instead of going to /install/index.php point to /install/index.php?action=install
instead.

thank you it worked now

but I've run into another problem. After installation, I deleted Install folder, pressed back and came to index page, entered ACP. The .MOD tab is now there (yay!), I press it and I see the Announcement Centre.
I decide to try write something, so I write some random stuff in the Site Announcements, I leave the rest as it is, and I press submit. Now I get an error, whenever I press .MOD tab now I get this error:

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'coldfusion-wow_com_1.phpbb_announcement_centre' doesn't exist [1146]

What happened? hehe

everything worked, you could go into the announcement centre part in the .MODS tab and only after trying to update it you receive the information that no table exists?

i am assuming that the announcement centre is not working on the index page either anymore... is that correct?

DaveGreen · Post by **DaveGreen** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:47 am

yes the announcement centre never showed on the index page.

would you be willing to set me up with a temp ftp account and a temp admin account?

either i misunderstand or the table got mysteriously deleted again after it had worked before ...

you are welcome

just released a new version:

2009-01-04 - Version1.1.3
* fixed little bug in mcp_announce.php (edits were still possible when announcement was based on single post)
* fixed little bug in prosilver announcement_centre.html (birthday avatars now centered)
* made some of the language vars more unique
* Changed install file so that database stored templates will not get the Admin install_ files added to the db

baloo, I have actually figured it out and have a solution that works the way you want. Only thing is, if "no" guest announcement, the Announcement box shows to guest. Below is the soultion.

Find (in overall_header or ?):

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE announcement_centre.html -->

Replace with:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN and ANNOUNCEMENT_ENABLE and ANNOUNCEMENT_TEXT or ANNOUNCEMENT_SHOW_BIRTHDAYS_ALWAYS and ANNOUNCEMENT_BIRTHDAYS -->
		<!-- INCLUDE announcement_centre.html -->
	    <!-- ELSEIF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN and ANNOUNCEMENT_ENABLE_GUESTS and not ANNOUNCEMENT_SHOW_EVERYONE or ANNOUNCEMENT_SHOW and ANNOUNCEMENT_TEXT_GUEST -->
		<!-- INCLUDE announcement_centre.html -->
        <!-- ENDIF -->

This will show the correct announcement to guest, without birthdays and once user is logged in, even if no announcement but there is a birthday, will show the correct info.

hi, your text editor seems to have added a BOM to the file. Try to edit it again with a decent text editor like notepad++ and then make sure it is saved as UTF8 without Bom.

Thanks man! that worked perfectly! thank you soo much for the help!

Thanks for the effort WheelGuy. Didn't seem to work as planned but no drama. For now I can live with switching it on and off. It would be nice to see it detect if an announcement is there or not and react accordingly but it seems like I'm in the minority for this feature.

I had to purge the cache a couple times and logout then clear my browser before it started showing properly.
