BuddyPress

I found a nice integration of an announcement plugin for WordPress that works well with buddpress…
Plugin is Announcer: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/announcer/

Mod is this: edit post-form.php and add this after the <?php do_action( 'bp_after_activity_post_form' ) ?>:

<hr>
<?php if(function_exists('announcer')) { announcer();} // insert for announcer plug
?>

Then in the admin… just choose the choose the “I will place myself option…”

Here is a quick pict:

Thanks. This is quite useful

Only problem is…you can’t close the Announcer by clicking the X

I’m not using the close function, but the x does close for me… maybe a plugin conflict?
