ougc-announcement-bars's Issues

Start date validation error

When creating or updating an announcement bar, the script will check to make sure the start date is earlier than the end date, and throw an error preventing the bar from being saved if it is not. However, the script will erroneously fail if the start day is an earlier day in a later month of the same year (e.g. May 28, 2021 is erroneously blocked as an invalid start date when the end date is June 18, 2021, but not when it is June 29, 2021 or any date in 2022)

Conversely, it will erroneously not fail when the start date is a later day in an earlier month of the same year.

Not work when default admin path has changed.

Hi,
I have renamed default path of my admin page and your OUGC doesn't work when I click on Manage Bars.

Forums setting being ignored

Seems like I missed this temporal change?

sql error with latest version

just fixed mybb plugin page slow issue and tried to update Announcement plugin to latest but nothing work, all files upload done but when i try to activate plugin mybb page gives error

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1054 - Unknown column 'startdate' in 'where clause'
Query:
SELECT * FROM mybb_ougc_annbars WHERE startdate>'1486906242'

what is wrong or missing, really old version was working and i feel disappointment

End date not working as expected

Apparently the end date is being ignoring, in such a way that any bar which end date is expired is still displayed.

The expected behavior would be to stop displaying any bar which end date is expired.

It is possible a task being the more proper approach, but could require more work than fixing the current system.

PHP warning when bars cache is empty.

Due to the plugin not checking if the cache is not empty, a PHP warning is shown if so.

Enabled Status

Should the plugin support an "Enabled" status?

Display Order

Should the plugin support an "Display Order" field?

Start Date

Should the plugin support an "Start Date" field?

update_cache() method doesn't work as expected.

The following code doesn't take into consideration deleting the last bar.

    // Update the bars cache
    function update_cache()
    {
        //...

        empty($update) or $cache->update('ougc_annbars', $update);

        //...
    }

Dismiss option for users

Users should be able to dismiss a bar after reading it. I actually started coding this but I suppose it is long lost.

Change content DB field type

We should use text instead of varchar(255) for this field.

Some of the announcements do not dissapear

Some of the announcements do not dissapear when they expire, even when i remove them. It's mybb 1.8.5 problem. I rebuilded caches, reinstalled plugin many times, but nothing.

Custom classes

The class selection drop-box should allow a custom input.

ACP Should show a preview instead of full content.

Currently the ACP shows the full content of the bars even with HTML, BBCodes, etc. It should show a preview with only text.

Cache not clean after deleting/hiding last bar.

Because of the follwoing code:

$cache->update('ougc_annbars', $update);

When there are not active bars or bars at all, the cache is not properly updated.

Allowed forums

Allow administrators to show independent bars in different forums.

Unsure if I will add this, just posting so I don't forget.

Move "Reload Cache" to "Cache Manager" tools page

That is how it should be.
