Informers serve to display entries of particular modules on any pages of any sites. For example, you can output the latest forum threads or most commented photos right on the main page. This helps to make your site more interesting and handy for the visitors.

To create an Informer:

1. Go to Informers section on the main page of the Control Panel.

2. Press Create informer.

3. Select necessary module in the field with the pop-down list. (Additional options will appear depending on a module).

4. Set parameters of the options Number of entries and Number of columns.

5. Press Create.

6. Insert the obtained code of the type

Code

$MYINF_id$

where you need.

7. Informer appearance and the information for output can be edited in informer template. Type of information (uCoz codes) depends on the source module. List of codes, available for a certain informer, is under the form for editing template.

With the help of the informer, you can output information both on pages of your website and on any other site in the internet.

There are no explanations for the codes, used in informer template. This is because informers are a serious thing and you should not edit informers without good knowledge of HTML and uCoz system.

Ere-Eye, It's a custom css code.
Read: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/14-8599-1 and next time use search.

So I just put them manually for every page?

Why manually? Switches appear automatically.

What are you doing? If you make Informer for Photo Album you don't need any code.
It will make images appear automatically. And why you want images to be full - size?

CP -> Informers -> Customize Informer design.

Replace: $PHOTO$

With: <img src="$FULL_PHOTO_DIRECT_URL$" width="150" height="150">

im defitnly unsure, i followed what tommy linked me to...that didnt seem to work.
and im not sure what nunutu means.

If someone could add step by steps pics of how to get to a forum informer on the homepage, or even just a detailed type out.
It would be helpfull

Heres what appears so far <?if($ADD_ENTRY_LINK$)?><div style="text-align:right;padding-bottom:3px;">[ <a href="$ADD_ENTRY_LINK$">Add news entry</a> ]</div><?endif?>$LAST_NEWS$

So where would i add $MYINF_1$?
