This plugin allows an administrator to define a series of "notices" (HTML
accepted) that will be displayed under the header for every page on the
forum. This is useful if, for example, you need to alert users to certain
issues or you want to display banner ads on a specific date, or really just
anything that needs to be displayed on a timer.

The plugin will allow you to create two different kinds of notices,
recurring notices and finite notices. Recurring notices will occur every
week, from the day and time you specify. For example, if you want to
display "Monday Night Football tonight, go watch!" from 5 PM to 10 PM every
Monday, you can set that up with this plugin. Also, you can define a finite
event. An example of this would be a Holiday, like Christmas. You could
have "Merry Christmas" display from 0:00 December 25th, 2008 to 23:59
December 25th.

This plugin makes one modification to a template, header. In this
template, it finds:

Code:
            <div
id="panel">
                {$welcomeblock}
            </div>

and replace it with this:

Code:
            <div
id="panel">
                {$welcomeblock}
            </div>
{$timednotice}


So, if it doesn't display, your header template was modified and it wasn't
able to find what it needed. If this is the case, you will have to make the
modification by hand.

Also, it will add two global templates, timednotice_panel and
timednotice_entry. timednotice_panel is the panel itself, which houses all
the notices. timednotice_entry is each individual notice (one thing you may
want to change depending on if you want the name of the notice to show up
or not, removing "<strong>{$timednotice_name}</strong> : "
from timednotice_entry will change the notice to only display the message,
not the name).

Finally, in the Admin CP, a new option will be added (you will have to
refresh the side panel by logging out of the Admin CP and logging back in
when initially activating the plugin) under "Board Settings" called "Modify
Timed Notices." From here, the whole plugin can be administered.

Troubleshooting:
If you are having problems with the time being an hour ahead or behind,
check your time settings in the Admin CP. To change/check them, go to the
Board Settings, and click on "Date and Time Formats".
