    You don’t need a demo for this plugin. This plugin is fully safe and has no risk. You can install it in your site using the automatic plugin installation.

    Anyway, i will arrange for the a demo. You can also see the screenshots above instead.

    After all, how many ways can an announcer say the puck is down the ice and dumped into the corner? There’s no time for long, flowing descriptions and …

    And because of who I am, there will be more attention that if it would be a regular play-by-play announcer coming in for a couple games.

    This plugin looks awesome, but I am having a hard time with the close button – it currently does nothing upon clicking. Tested in Safari and Chrome… any ideas?

      I think… the screen shots  are enough for this plugin…. if you want ill add more…

  • Sebastian

    This script will malfunction with the German version of wordpress. In the German wordpress, instead of “Yes”, “Ja” is shown. “Ja” is written into the database, but your script will explicitly check for “Yes”, so no close-button is shown. Please fix this.
    As a workaround, one can replace line 150 of announcer.php, reading “if ($announcer_show_close_button == ‘Yes’){” with  “if ($announcer_show_close_button == ‘Yes’ || $announcer_show_close_button == ‘Ja’ ){” However you shouldn’t compare language-dependent strings.

    • Sebastian

      Oh and in line 191 of announcer.php, you have a typo “toggleInitialiaze” instead of “toggleInitialize”, which will cause a javascript error.

      • Sebastian

        Oh okay you use the typo throughout the script. However in line 201 of announcer.php you should change in_footer from true to false, as Google Chrome 11 will not find “toggleInitiliaze” and the cookie for closing the announcer won’t be saved (and the user sees it every visit).

    I cannot get your plugin to work properly. By default the announcement is placed at the top of the site but the admin bar shown by WordPress is covering it, so I try to move it using the code provided in its settings but it still goes to the very top.

    Greetings.
    Great plugin!  I just have a few questions.  (1) How can I make it show up on my index/home/front page only?  (2) It’s my understanding that if I want to customize the look (font, background, etc.) I have to check “Use Custom Class” box, but what am I supposed to enter in the “Custom Class” box?  (3) I assume ther aforementioned customizations are to be made in the “announcer/announcer-custom-class.css” file…correct?  Thank you in advance for your assistance, as I attempt to spread the Gospel with my non-profit Christian outreach effort.

  • JulieCJ

    Looks great but I’d like it on my static home (front) page only, not on the inside blog page.  Border could be a little bolder.

  • JulieCJ

    Hi again.  I love this!  One little bug.  No matter what color I program in for the words, they show up in that color for a few seconds, then revert – always – to black.  Any chance of having colored words?

  • BK

    Hey guys, I put the formatting into H3 and now I can’t undo it – I have huge letters and the color won’t change from black. Can anything be done about this?

    can I have multiple instances of this? is there a PHP shortcode that I could use to have different messages on different pages

  • Sally

    I just installed Announcer, activated it, and posted an announcement. However, it’s not showing up on my homepage. I have the “earth” theme from WP–will that not allow for this plugin?
    Thank you!
