Inspired by the Welcome headers hack I wanted to add a simple global announcement that I could turn on and off via the admin cp and change the announcement from acp.
The Dynamic Announcements hack is a bit more than I require so I wrote my own simple global announcement hack.
To install import the xml file as a product in the Plugin Manager.
Modify template FORUMHOME add
$simple_global_announcement
where You want the announcement to be placed. I have placed it after $navbar and before <!-- main --> like this
To enable the announcement goto vBulletin options and open settings for "Global annoucement". Here You can enable/disable the announcement and enter the text to display.
Change history.
1.1.0 Made the announcement box collapsable
Future.
I am hoping a new template hook will be added in FORUMHOME just after $navbar so future template edits won't be required to install this.
