Okay...I guess I'll try to clean all that up.

Okay, I've finally got it working. YAY!

Here it is in action (with a few other things with it) on my test board:
[url]http://infernalarcade.ej.am/test/home.php[/url]

For those that want to replicate this...

HTML code, just include it into the page you want it on.


PHP function code:

I have inserted the html code in news_body.html and uploadeded it to styles/prosilver_se/template/

I assume i need to place php code in a file called something like news_body.php and upload it to forum root?

Im a bit confused as to how the two files communicate with each other.

Thanks for any help,
Carl

ANNOUNCEMENT_FORUM is a constant and needs to be defined.

Oh, so that would make ANNOUNCEMENT_FORUM defined as a number? Or..?

Does it mean which forum contains the announcements? But then isn't that just the same making $query_global = false, and just specifying the number?

Yes, just declare the constant in the page that is using the function with the forum ID that contains the announcements.

I don't remember what the $query_global parameter was for, though...
/me goes to check own documentation

Ok, so if the forum id was 2, and this place contained announcements, does that mean I would define ANNOUNCEMENT_FORUM as 2?

Exactly.

Cool awesome, so have you found out what $query_global is?
