MyBB Community Forums

Hello everyone!
The current portal announcement feature allows you to choose the forum(s) to pull announcements from:
[attachment=177]

I think a great mod idea would be to allow mods/admins to choose specific threads to post as announcements in the portal page, instead of a whole forum. Maybe it could be in the Admin Options Drop Down Menu:
[attachment=178]

Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Thanks!

Sure, this is actually pretty easy to do. Just create a table called portal_posts, then, when, let's say moderation.php?action=senttoportal&tid=xxx, it'll do a query like INSERT INTO mybb_portal_posts (fields) VALUES (data). Then, on the portal code, just do a query like SELECT * FROM mybb_portal_posts ORDER BY id DESC. Then, just loop it ( while() ).

By the way, don't do what I said... it's just simple instructions for someone who want's to create the modification. Who knows, if I'm bored today, I'll make it!

thanks
