Hi

I'm struggling with thinking how to keep a global announcement thread off from one particular board.
I have a new board for eventual a new sponsor that like to use their own board with mine
either as a completely visible os as a sub forum.

http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=37&page=1

the global message is this <<Photo posting tutorial>> and how can I keep that off the sponsors board?

cheers

One way you could do it is this, as a global announcement is that, global.

Custom Headers and footers.
Each forum can have unique Headers and footers.

This is like reversing what you have now.
In your sponsors forum update custom Headers and footers to what you have for html includes and forum footer. This will display the origional header and footers you may have in place.


So create a banner or footer.
Under the Main forum settings of html includes and forum footer.
Add the code to the custom header footer respectively.
Include in the code a link to the Topic you may have created, for example if you click on the banner it takes you to that topic.

So you should now have your new banner everywhere except your sponsored forum as you have used unique header footer options.

It sounds long winded, but I have over 50 individual forums so thats how I would work the problem.

There may be other ways to do this.

Mark,
I don't think that will stop a global announcement post from showing.
It only stops say if you added something to the header or footer.

There isn't really too much of a stock way of having a global announcement display for all but a specific forum. You'd probably have to add a check for the "$Board" variable on the bit of code for announcements from scripts/postlist.inc.php.

Please note that modifying your stock code can introduce bugs into your copy of the software and that UBBCentral cannot support modifications performed to stock code as your modifications are not their code to support.

I don't want to alter the scripts for this so I may to consider to put a link outside the header and point it to the actual post and as Mark say I will create custom header/footer for the sponsors own forum.
thanks everyone for your thoughts

cheers
