[Nibogo]

@Nas: Thanks nas , I will update the mod later adding your translation

@fords8: You just have to add the yagam code after the downloads permission code , I am in my cell phone so I cant do anymore.

@ozgur: The mod install correctly?

Can you check your phpmyadmin and see the announcements table because maybe is an error with sql or with any announcement php file

@A.sk: Glad to hear that

@edi67: I don't know what you have that error , please try re-installing the mod.

The mod was tested on a SMF 2.0 RC1 Fresh Installation by me and the smf customization team and works pretty nice

[fords8]

@fords8: You just have to add the yagam code after the downloads permission code

Yup I know! Once you get a chance, you going to make it so this will install even when these mods are installed?

I can't install this with my custom theme (Energy theme),even manual.Could you help me?

I attach my messageindex.template.php,I have problems with this:
          

Try the parser , I dont have the time to do modify all the people files

[Yağız...]

Create or edit an announcement. Don't check Comments option.

This makes an undefined index error in error log.[$sourcedir/Announcements.php ~ line 338]

Thanks for report , I will check this

[jkrlvgn]

to the :

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in  /home/crazyzone/data/www/crazyzone.biz/Sources/Load.php(2192) : eval()'d code on line 292

issue....

I had issues similar to this....it doesn't seem to like 2.0b4 at all...  I upgraded to RC1, and it works fine now, but I had to do some other manual editing and cleaning up from previous mods.  If you had the global announcements mod installed, this might be part of the issue.

Just to note, on the comments issue, I had the same problem, so it's not just specific to certain people.


As far as you, Lamarck....it's not hard to manually install a mod...I'm using a custom template myself, and it works fairly well.  Instead of uninstalling it and moving on (...to...nothing, I might add, since this is the only other one besides the older), you can ask other people for assistance.  NIBOGO -IS- a busy guy...he can't do everything for you, though, no matter how nice he is.

If you still want help with it, let me know, and I'll help ya out.

[glennk]

Will it work with 2b4 ?
