MODS.DB9.DK

[kajin]

I installed the mod using easymod with no hitches, but when I selected "Global announcement" in the little check box and tried posting, it came up as a Regular Post. I treied editing it, but with no luck; it still came up as a regular post.

I am running phpBB version 2.0.18 (installed the mod after the upgrade)

Can someone please help me?
I've already searched this entire forum for the answer, with no luck.

Well, I went over to phpBB hacks forum and found this:

The Global Announcement problem will be caused by this change to posting.php. This will also break any hack that adds new topic types.

Code: Select all

##
##----------[ FIND ]-------------------------------------
##

$topic_type = ( !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['topictype']) ) ? intval($HTTP_POST_VARS['topictype']) : POST_NORMAL;

##
##----------[ AFTER, ADD ]-------------------------------
##

$topic_type = ( in_array($topic_type, array(POST_NORMAL, POST_STICKY, POST_ANNOUNCE)) ) ? $topic_type : POST_NORMAL;

For Global Announcement, that line needs to be changed to:

Code: Select all

$topic_type = ( in_array($topic_type, array(POST_NORMAL, POST_STICKY, POST_ANNOUNCE, POST_GLOBAL_ANNOUNCE)) ) ? $topic_type : POST_NORMAL;


I tried it, and it seems to have done something. Now when I try to post a global announcement, instead of it being a normal post, it just dosn't show up a t all.

Hrm. I wonder why mine still dosn't work. Can anyone help me?

EDIT:
Finally fixed it!
I had to go to Viewforum.php and replace this:

Code: Select all

$topic_rowset = array();
$total_announcements = 0;

with this:

Code: Select all

// 2 rows deleted - Global announcement MOD

Anyways, it seems to work fine now. Hope this info helped everyone out

I just removed the WHOLE

Code: Select all

$topic_type = ( in_array($topic_type, array(POST_NORMAL, POST_STICKY, POST_ANNOUNCE)) ) ? $topic_type : POST_NORMAL;


And it works just fine now!

I'll take the less security
