UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Adding Special announcements to your Ultimate.cgi table

I came up with a way to notify members of upcoming events thru your control panel that's seen on top of the Ultimate.cgi table. (above forum etc..) When you don't need it, it disappears!

*Special Note, this requires the use of the tag "$YourCopyrightNotice" Found in the following files:

Ultimate.cgi
Forumsdisplay.cgi
And I think ubb_library.pl
Check each one and do a search and find.
you will need to remove them from the other
scripts, and add your normal copyright info
to your footer sections via CP in general
settings.

THIS DOES NOT EFFECT THE INFOPOP COPYRIGHT TEXT/IMAGE INFO IF DONE RIGHT! Make sure you backup all files, before you start.


Okay once you have removed the tag from the other scripts, find this in ultimate.cgi:



Edit it like this:


Next go into General settings in the section marked "Your Copyright Wording" and add this:

* The table html is needed or it will totally blow out your tables..

Remember, you will need to edit out this value $YourCopyrightNotice from all the other scripts. I truly suggest to all newbies, you setup test board on your site. Then you can play to your hearts content! If you goof, no big deal!

Once the need is past and you don't need it there, just remove the html etc, from the box in your control panel.. You can see a demo here

( Java Ticker available Here )

Have fun!
