Does it support BBcode or html?
Does it support URL links?

[Andy Rixon]

yes it should do.

[Joshua T.]

its showing only and not bolded font in sidebar :(

[Andy Rixon]

Weird... I'll look into this.

Simple yet useful hook. Well done. :thumbsup:

[Andy Rixon]

Thanks Calypso

[The Krotek]

Very nice hook, but, as said above, doesn't support text formatting. Instead of bold text it shows tags.

installed. very easy but bbcode not word.

how can i change the background color?

You can't as it uses IP.Boards skin stylesheet, so if you changed the background colour, you'd change it for all the other things that uses the same div tag.

URL linking not working, just displays the BBCODE rather than actually linking.

I am having a similar issue. The image appears in the ACP, when editing and clicking the update tab, however it still shows the code on the board. Any luck in fixing this?

[Andy Rixon]

Not had a chance to, due to working and developing the iArcade app.
I will look into this shortly.

Really great hook. Looking forward to the bbcode fix.

Have you been able to look into this yet? Would be great to have bbcode working and links. Thanks!

[Andy Rixon]

I have litterally not had the chance to do anything, sorry for such the long wait.

[FCB-ROGA]

No problem. It's a great hook even without that additional functionality.

I understand, that you're pretty busy, but don't think fixing html/bbcode would take much time.
I opened template Board Index -> hookSidebariAnnounceSidebar and just put my text there instead of this:

{$this->settings['iAnnounce_main']}

Everything works great, all HTML tags display properly (links, styles etc.).
I guess it's a parsing problem, probably just need to add a simple PHP function like htmlspecialchars() or something like that.

No big deal, really. Would do it myself, but I'm not a good programmer.
Without this fix your hook can only display plain text, which is very frustrating to be honest.

[FCB-ROGA]

Really is a great mod, if it gets fixed. Hope you find the time, I use this mod all the time on my board, but would be able to do much more with it if "fixed".

Thanks in advance.

Development for iAnnounce for IP.Board 3.0.x have been discontinued, I will be consantrating on IP.Board 3.1.x
Should a security issue be found, please PM me and I will package it up and add it to this topic.

Hello,

I've installed iAnnounce v1.0.0 and works good.

If I want to add in my board more then only one announce, how can I do that? Is it possible?


Thank you.

[Andy Rixon]

If you mean by adding seperate iAnnounce boxes, then no this is not possible.

Hi Andy,

I tried to send you an email about this plugin, which I downloaded and thoroughly enjoyed but the contact@geekmanic.com was returned as undeliverable.

Here is my query:

Your iAnnounce plugin is very useful on our ip board. We

[Andy Rixon]

I could possibly look into this for you tomorrow, I would of course release this for free, so there would be no fee. I would possibly make it so that it requires iAnounce to function.

Would you like this included with the package or as a separate package?

Another thing, I am unsure of an ETA as to when this will be reased due to moving everything under a new name, rixwil.com so please be patient with it's development.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the reply.

I don't think there is a need to have a seaparate MOD, if I understand you correctly, unless it is easier. Rather, just a setting in the ACP of the hook that says:

1. enable/disable sidebar hook on the forum
2. enable/disable on portal plugin

Based on my experience so far, I would still need to grab the "exportable tag" and place it in the portal skeleton template.

Thanks so much for considering adding to this functionality of this great MOD you created.
