[Lizmap] Lizmap Announcement : New Extension

[Arnaud Vandecasteele]

Hi,

Did you have the chance to have a look on this extension.
Do you think there is an interest for Lizmap ?
If not, would you please answer to my question so I can finalize this
extension :
 - I am not yet very comfortable with the jelix extension installation
mechanism. During the extension installation, I need to copy the SQLite
database in the
jApp::configPath('db') path. I've specified some instructions inside the
install directory (announcementAdmin) but I'm not quite sure that they are
interpreted.
 - The announcementAdmin form
<https://github.com/arno974/lizmap-announcement/blob/main/announcementAdmin/forms/config.form.xml>
has two options that are not taken into account (permanent and
display_type) [2]. Despite my different tests, the values are always 0 for
permanent and empty for display_type. I've already asked the question on
the jelix forum
<https://jelix.org/forums/forum/5-jelix-utilisation-et-developpement/posts/12152-10214-form-valeur-de-checkbox-toujours-0#p12158>
[3].

Thanks,

Arnaud
