MyBB Community Forums

Hey there, I've made myself a little custom admin mod for MyBB which does a few little extra things I need which arn't in the current version and I wanted to be able to edit the settings of Musicalmidget's Board Message plugin mod from it too.

I found the showboardmsg & boardmsg values under the settings table in the database but whenever I update them it doesn't take effect on the board.
It works fine from the normal MyBB admin console so I'm guessing it does something else I'm not aware of.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Thanks in advance,

Andy.

Can i see the plugin file you have updated of course with the modifications you have done?

Oh sorry, I should have explained better, its a completly detached mod which just edits the database as I want it to, not a plugin mod.

I'm updating the showboardmsg & boardmsg values the Board Message Plugin adds to the DB.

Alright.. but what i asked in another word is to show me your codes please because i need to check them see if any error in some place.

I already know my code works because when I look at the database the values have changed, thats not the problem.
The problem is the board doesn't seem to notice the updates so I must be missing something else.

The plugin code is this:

<?php

I can't see anything in there that stands out, perhaps its something the admin page itself does? :eek:

I read your 1st post again.. you have to remember something.. you CAN'T only modify the setting from the db by editing it manually through phpmyadmin.. because the settings are cached which means mybb uses those settings in the cache and if you don't update the settings cache it is like you haven't changed anything.

I asked for your codes.. not the board message plugin file cause i know its codes.. i want to see yours.
