I just wanted to fill in a guest announcement, but after doing so I got the following error:

SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Duplicate entry 'announcement_show_index' for key 1 [1062]

SQL

INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('announcement_show_index', 0, 0)

hmm never mind I guess, I just tried the same thing again and I got no error, so as I said forget my message above, sorry

[lefty74]

if you get a duplicate bla bla message, it is more then likely that the cache was not cleared (and the templates not refreshed).

Lefty,
I understand the announcement box will display the message in its entirety, there is no clicking on the announcement title to read the rest of the text? So if the announcement is large, it will take up some screen real estate? Is that correct?

Also, can I run multiple announcements for the same group at the same time? For example, can registered users see tree announcements simultaneously:
1. Pizza for lunch
2. BYOB for lunch
2. After lunch - dancing
?

I use this MOD, and that is correct.

To solve that problem...just use a spoiler with it.

or you can use a scroller.

If you mean like fading in and out, no, that wont work.

No, that's not what I mean. Let me try to ask it in a different way.
How many active announcement can exist at the same time for one group of users, one or several? If several, how do they display - each in its own announcement box or as a list in one announcement box?

I am having a slight problem that I haven't seen anyone else saying they have had yet. I installed the mod and it works wonderful. I thank you for it! My problem is that now my smilies in the 'more smilies' pop-up will not insert into either announcement or posts. The smilies box beside the post still insert fine. Instead of insterting in the text field they are inserting the code at the top of the smilies pop up. I did not know if this was an unreported bug or if I just did something wrong that I can't find. I looked over my coding again and didn't see anything offhand that seemed wrong. Any idea what happened or how to fix this?



Edit: This may be a browser problem. I am still playing with them and sometimes I can get one to insert. There is no reason to the madness of what ones will work or when either. On a side note my browser has went all wacky twice while testing so as I said this may be more an IE issue then a mod issue but I would be grateful if someone would check and see if there more smilies pop-up works consistently.

mine were cleared, but as you could see it worked a minute later, I guess I was just to quick with my panicking

Sorry, I did not get this first time round. It is for one announcement.

I would be grateful if someone would check and see if there more smilies pop-up works consistently.

i would like to know that as well as i dont have any problems and i have not heard of problems of this kind before.
