How can I change the text for "Announcement". I want to call this "Sticky"*

DogHam

Hello!

How can I change the text for "Announcement"?
I want to call this "Sticky"

I'm using a custom theme.

Thank you!

hgtonight

You are looking for definitions.

$Definition['Announcement'] = 'Stickied';
$Definition['Announce'] = 'Sticky';
$Definition['Unannounce'] = 'UnSticky';

DogHam

What's the file location? theme master file?

peregrine

either read the link that @hgtonight provided
or read this.

http://vanillaforums.org/docs/localization

or add the definitions to conf/locale.php

you can search the forum - there have hundreds of discussions about it.

then you can start clicking insightful on posts that help you.

DogHam

Thank you!

Is there a way to make a second annoucement?

vrijvlinder

Not on the same thread. You need to make a new discussion to announce it .

DogHam

No, I mean... This is called Sticky (renamed from Announcement) and I want to put a second called "Trusted"

You can only add one definition per word. There may be a plugin but not sure, you would have to search for one.

No plugin sadly, But If you wanted to do this you may google?

I found a plugin called Announcement (http://vanillaforums.org/addon/96-announcement)
In the plugin menu I have eeror message when I want to enable it (it's showing no name in plugin list)

The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error:
The plugin folder was not properly defined.

vrijvlinder

it is an old plugin

add this to the plugin default.php after the part that says many thanks see if it works

// Many thanks to Tibor Balogh for some suggested improvements

// Define the plugin:
$PluginInfo['Announcement'] = array(
    'Name' => 'Announcement',
    'Description' => 'styles anouncement ',
    'Version' => '1.2',
    
);

It's now in plugin list, but....

Fatal error: Class 'Control' not found in /home/content/61/10882761/html/plugins/Announcement/default.php on line 40

See screenshot for line 40... I don't know how to make this box with code...

I don't know but am I so stup... or why I need to ask so much Questions?

vrijvlinder

ok then add this instead of control in the same file after the list of $Context

class AnnouncementPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {

There is no guarantee this will work but if you are willing to try and remove the closing php tag from that file after the end. remove the ?>

// The End
?>

DogHam

like this?
there is a error...

vrijvlinder

You are not stupid, besides I learn too while trying to help

vrijvlinder

you need to remove the line that has Control and only use the Garden one

remove this

class announcement extends Control {

put this in instead

class AnnouncementPlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {

vrijvlinder

also change this

function announcement(&$Context) {

to this

function announcement($Context) {

DogHam

Ok a second error on line 61... I give up... this plugin is a crap...

I will try now in options.js to add announcement like this... Maybe it's working

vrijvlinder

there are a few other things to fix to make this work though.

this

AddConfigurationSetting

should be

SaveToConfig

DogHam

adding in otions.js doesn't add another sticky... it would be too easy...
