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.

Question-answer

Where should I put the code of informer?
Control Panel -> Design -> Design management(templates).

***
How can I find out ID of an entry?
View list of entries or categories and you’ll find their IDs.

***
Is it possible to output entries in random order?
Yes, when you select a type of entries sorting you can choose the item "In random order".

***
Is it possible to make $ID$ code in the informer with Photo Album, because photos often have no names?
Do not output a name at all.

***
How can I output an image, belonging to the news entry, in the informer?
Edit informer template and insert a variable that will display the image.

***
Is it possible not to output in the news informer the news entries that are on the main page?
No.

***
Is it possible to do the following: the informer starts to count users’ messages form a certain time and does not take into account earlier messages?
No.

Hello I have reached the limit of entries that are shown in my informer (40) and now when a new entry is added it doesnt show up. Is there a way to make it always add newest entries and just remove the last one so it wont exceed the limitation (40) ?

eseN, in informer set sorting mode to: Entry date D, and it will always add newest entries automatically:

Good, I'm afraid it is not possible. It is possible to display entries on certain categories, but not comments.

akselcho, you can customize the informer template as you want in Control Panel -> Tools -> Informers -> the informer you need -> Informer template.

phuket, unfortunately informers do have a maximum output limit which is unsurpassable. Why are you unable to simply use the module home page to list entries? What exactly is this entry list functioning as on your site?

Our site work on translate anime, a lot of work and people add entry by themself, it quite hard for me to manage it all with just html
What did i need was a list entry that
- It show all of our anime project in one page (in my country, almost people use chrome and firefox, and they like Crlt+F),
- It short form A-Z
- It has image and description
- It automatic
Anyway, i will try another way, thanks Paradox
