[AJAX] SmnLikQuick v2.0 - Advanced Announcements Block

[DjEddie]

No, you wouldn't install the whole thing, just use the content files ie, recentthreadsexp2.php for example and point a tab to it. You would do this manually in the template (for now). King K and I are working on something right now that we may talk Bree into using here which will allow specific additional content modules to be added to this as well..

Here is how to add an additional Tab for an external content file (s)

EDIT the smnlikquick TEMPLATE

I manually inserted an LI tag (IN RED) which will create an addition Tab .. all you need to do is create a content file, upload it, change the name of it in the line below, name your tab and yer golden. Works well with all the content files I have made for AJAX Tabs .. you just need to remark out the calls to any CMPS files that are not being used..


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="center" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<div id="tabs" class="indentmenu">
<ul>
$slq_bit
<li><a href="tabcontentfile.php" rel="tabcontainer">TAB NAME</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: left" />
</div>
<div id="divcontainer" style="border:0px; width:97%; padding: 6px; margin-bottom:1em">
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

var mytabs=new ddajaxtabs("tabs", "divcontainer")
mytabs.setpersist(false)
mytabs.setselectedClassTarget("link")
mytabs.init(5000)

</script>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks for this, got it all working now and it helped me adding my radio stations in there too, really appreciate it thank you :)

And a couple more questions lol,

i want to have the tabs colored before they get selected and to change the red gradient when they are selected, this might of been mentioned before somewhere but I can't see it for the life of me.

and last question, with the recentthreads php file, i want to take some info out so i only have one line...

ie i want to take out topic starter (2nd Line) date when topic made (3rd line) and next column take out the last posters name. so i just have 1 line of info across the whole table.

also can i change this so its latest thread created and not last thread posted in ?

Thanks for all ur help on this..:)

I can't find the file or I would have edited it for you.

[DjEddie]

Hi Kovifor,

I've added the unedited file as an attachment, appreciate it if you could look for us,

Thank you :)

[King Kovifor]

What do you want taken out?

[DjEddie]

Hi, i'd like taken out please:

Topic Starter
Date When topic made
Last poster

And not sure if this can be done, but i'd like it to Latest threads made, with the newest at the top, not showing the Latest thread that has been posted in,

Thank you :)

[King Kovifor]

Try the attachment. :)

[DjEddie]

Hi, thanx for the quick reply

Its now showing, Topic title, thread starter and data & time when topic started (in first column) other colums arent there.. . <--- the last 2 fields if possible taken off leaving just topic title ...

and the other stuff put back on lol ie Last Post - Replies - Forum columns... so its still in its table but with the last posters name taken out of the last post column

so it all ends up on 1 line on 1 row ...

[King Kovifor]

So you want most of the data, but everything to be on one line?

[DjEddie]

Everything on one line ... data to be included and in the columns is:

Topic Title, - Last Post Time (only) - Replies - Forum Name <--- that info only, so it only uses 1 line per thread..

:) thanks :)

[Dennis Kaczor]

Your table was never created. Try exporting and reimporting your product.

Did that, and not change in the errors seen. I checked and looked at the database and the table is in there, and I was able to view the 2 test messages in there as well.

If I uninstall, will it remove the table from the database? And maybe start from scratch one more time? even removing the upload files to the server as well? Unless you have any other ideas that I can try.

I check to see if the table was there before the export and inport and it was there.

Thanks for the help. And I hope to get this going as I have a use to put this in CMPS as well, but need to correct this issue before hand. Thanks again

[King Kovifor]

Yes, an uninstall should remove the table.

[Dennis Kaczor]

Yes, an uninstall should remove the table.

OK I have uninstalled this program and I will leave it for know and try it on Monday and see if I can make ground with this program. It's one that I would love to have added to my system.

Thanks

Hi,

[BeerLuver]

I just noticed today an odd issue with using this mod. When this mod is installed and you have ANY announcements on it, the main RSS feed for your forums will append the LAST or most recent announcement's title to your RSS feed title.

For example, my RSS feed should have a title of Creeight.org, but since I have an announcement with this mod up titled Welcome... my RSS feed now reads Creeight.org - Welcome. I wanted to mention this in hopes of any future updates or work on this mod, that this potential lil issue be looked into and hopefully resolved somehow. I guess it's not such a big deal, but for those who want just a simple RSS feed title to be their site's title itself and nothing added on, then it might be a concern heh. Great job so far on the extra support from some of the members helping with this mod though :)

[slick368]

Okay. I finally got everything to display in tabs format instead of bullets. The only problem that remains is this. Once I loaded the CMPS mod, the panels display, but they kick the rest of the center column's contents to the bottom of the page below where the left column's content ends.

This is a problem as I want the tabbed panels to be the first item on the center column. This problem did not occur before I loaded the CMPS mod. The panels appeared as the first item on the page with all of the other content loading below it properly. It was only after it was loaded as a CMPS module that the problem appeared. Any ideas?

Thanks!

There are some issues with the CMPS Module that Bree will be addressing when she gets back online.

In the mean time, can you post some screen shots so we can see whats going on or provide us a link to your site so we can "see" it .. much easier that way.. if you don't want to post your site publically, then PM one of us (Bree, King Kovifor or myself)

[slick368]

Here is the screenshot you asked for. Notice the bar titled Database & Coding: Test. This should be right under the tabbed panel. The url to my site is forums.gamers-lair.net. Thanks for your help!

Did you check clean output for the module?

[Namaless]

Dear Bree, Bobster65 and King Kovifor, I have added usergroup permission to view annoucements, autotemplate, timer setting and persistent tab setting to your modification.

Now request if possible to post here the my version for releasing official 2.0.5 version..

Regards.

[slick368]

I checked the clean output option, and when I do, the module disappears altogether. I then de-select the clean output option and the module re-appears and everything is back in the same state that it was before.

are you using the default cmps module wrapper? If not, I will give you an alt module wrapper to use with it.. that should do the trick ..

[slick368]

Okay... I had the default module wrapper activated. I turned it off and it fixed the problem. If you have an alternate wrapper I can use, that would be great, as the default seems to break things.

Thanks for the tip!

If it works without the default wrapper, yer good to go.. no need for an alt wrapper :cool:

with it on it makes the forum move on each refresh

[bobster65]

Thanks you very much :)

Is there a way to turn of the rotation please?
with it on it makes the forum move on each refresh

To modify the auto rotation, edit the "smnlikquick" template and look for this code towards the bottom of it..

<script type="text/javascript">

var mytabs=new ddajaxtabs("tabs", "divcontainer")
mytabs.setpersist(false)
mytabs.setselectedClassTarget("link")
mytabs.init(5000)

</script>


Change the mytabs.init(5000) to mytabs.init() the 5000 is in microseconds, so it was set to rotate every 5 seconds... setting it to () removes the rotation completely and makes it so that you have to click on a tab.

[bashy]

Sorry for the late reply, i didnt get an email saying you had replied :(

I have removed the 5000 and its working perfectly, thank you so much for your help :)

This is one awesome plugin! But I do have to ask you something if you don't mind.

1), is it possible that you can make an option out of that it changes blocks after every xxx seconds? I noticed not a lot of people that noticed this plugin being added liked the way it changes block automatically.

2), We have a chat box at the bottom of our forum, and like 1), the block changes causes height changes which causes to mess with the chat box itself. It doesn't really changes the chat box, but it keeps changing the heights because every block has different set of lines / space it uses. Possible you can think of something? That'll be great. This plugin is awesome though, thanks!

You can stop the rotation.. just read up a few posts ... its an easy template edit .. and yes, there will be controls added into the next release.

Thanks guys, I figured it out. :D. I was also wondering if the author of the plugin could add a "Are you sure you want to delete this announcement" box after you selected on "delete". I accidentally selected delete rather than edit. And it removed the announcement right away.

It cannot access your database from your supplied information. I wouldn't see why if your forums worked.

And double check the CSS path.

Tried to install this again, and still get the database errors.

I checked the path and by making it direct using http and making headway, but still get this error.

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user: 'torontod@localhost' (Using password: NO) in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 50

I have no clue on where to turn to correct this issue. Vbulletin works and so does everything else, and I don't have a clue why it cannot access the database with this program. It beyond my scope at this point, and need someone to point my in the right direction to get this working.

Thanks

INSTALL:

1. Upload the files within the UPLOAD folder (in this package) to the corrosponding forum directories on your server making sure to keep the filetree intact.
2. Import Product: SmnLikQuick.xml via AdminCP>Plugins & Products>Manage Products>Add/Import Product
3. Refresh AdminCP (ie: Ctrl-F5)
4. Complete Template Edits (2 Edits) - Instructions provided in .zip file.
5. (Optional) Edit includes/smnlikquick_css.css to match your style.
6. Add Announcements & Enable the SmnLikQuick Mod via AdminCP>SmnLikQuick

Where on earth is the file smnlikquick_css.css anyway?

Thanks Bree and wlcome back.

Could you run some checks please, to see if there is some java script collision... ( or ajax code ) that could be affecting the display of the template chooser.

We have noted that with this mod activated, users cannot see the style chooser, with it deactivated they can?

Weird I know... but perhaps there is a conflict somewhere ( almost 100% possibly our webpoint template )

[Ng?i Sao Việt]

Look in the UPLOAD folder and it will tell you what directory it is to be uploaded to.

Ok, not knowing enough about mysql and the database errors that I have been getting, and took a look at the code in the admincp SmnLikQuick

Now I'm using mysql version 5 and on lines 50 and 51 reads as follows

$announcements = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "smnlikquick`");
$announcement = (mysql_result($announcements, 0, 0));

Should mysql be changed to "mysqli"? If I change this, I don't get a cannot access database message but now I get the following.

Warning: mysqli_query() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 50

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_result() in /home/xxxxxxxx/www/www/forums/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 51

Wow, the first message I thought there was some hope in getting this to run, and now I'm back to square one again!
Strange thing is that I created 3 announcements and they show up, and run like they should, but it is only when I need to manage the announcements is where there error shows up.

There is a smnlikquick table listed in the database, and the three messages are there as well, so there is some point were the program can access the database, and it seems that the manage portion is the one having the issues. Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks in advance

P.S. The only way that I could get this program to run, is put in an annoucement and all is fine with the display, and the message on the CMPS screen. I have two messages there and it works that way, but if I need to delete an old message, I have to go to mysql home page and remove it from the table..... Strange one!

[DoB Rhapsody]

Everything works fine and i have resized the module so that i can fit a square box to the left for advertisements.

I am getting an error in IE7 though. "Interner Explorer cannot open this site url.." It's a dialog box and when you click ok or X out it goes to a page not found. I've asked some other users and they are not having this issue but i still want to find out what the problem is.

Any help?

This is a very nice mod, but there is some problem with cyrillic characters as noted before. Any input in diferrent charachers (for example greek) gets saved as question marks (????? ???? ???). This is the only module with this kind of problem, is there some forgotten charset mis-type somewhere?

Here is a small update. It adds the ability to change auto rotation without the template edit. Just overwrite the product .xml do update.

[michael5472]

you can adjust the rotation by editing the smnlikquick template and setting the mytabs.init(5000) to something higher. The time is in milliseconds, so 5000=5 seconds .. if you want to slow it down to 10 seconds, make it 10000. If you want to totally STOP the rotation just remove the numbers ie mytabs.init() That will make it so that they manually have to select a tab..

<script type="text/javascript">

var mytabs=new ddajaxtabs("tabs", "divcontainer")
mytabs.setpersist(false)
mytabs.setselectedClassTarget("link")
mytabs.init(5000)

</script>

Can I get a link to your site to see whats happening. Are you on a highspeed connection when viewing the site? I know that it comes default with a rotation of 5 seconds, so if you are on dialup, its going to be out of wack until the entire page loads and then gets caught up.

5 seconds is WAY to fast of a rotation time.....

Can you cut your rotation down to 10 seconds and see if the problem still exists?

I'm not on dial-up. My guess is it may be an issue with Firefox. I'll try a 10 second rotation and post back. I currently have rotations disabled because of the issue.

EDIT: Yea, it reloads the first announcement over again in FF but it goes straight to the second one in IE.

ya, thats a weird one to say the least.. usually its IE that is messed up lol..

The only thing I notice is the "order" 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 .. I doubt that has anything to do with it tho.. I'll see if I can replicate this. This is the first report of it doing what you are saying (that I know of) .. did you try and set the order 1-2-3-4-5 to see if that worked in FF?

remove the / from the 2 lines below or use the FULL path to the URL.

[Ray2khax]

Dude this is so amazing :) Very nice job this is one of my favorite mods now :)

[smirkley]

In the template called smnlikquick

Find:
mytabs.init(5000)
Replace With
mytabs.init()

That turns it off completely.... or you can replace the 5000 with a higher number to slow it down a bit.


Excellent modification,..THANKS !

Is there a chance the disable feature for the rotation to be included in the next update?
I turned mine off using the template change you suggested, but would love to have the option in ACP instead.
(sorry if it was said in this thread, but I didnt read all 13 pages lol)

Thanks again!

If its just stuck on "loading" its because it can not find what its trying to "load", so there is a path issue problem somewhere..

If its just stuck loading, that's because its trying to find the source and its not finding it. I am willing to bet that its a simple path issue between vBa CMPS and vB .. this is common with vBa when you have vBa installed in the root and vB in a subdirectory of root..

I clicked on uninstall and everything looked like it went ok. The smnlikquick menu disappeared in the cp and the tabs disappeared in the forum but now I am getting database errors. I looked in the templates and there is a smnlikquick template listed under Custom Templates. This may be what is causing the errors but I can't figure out how to get rid of the template. There is no delete button and it won't let me just delete the code. Any ideas on how to get rid of this template and if this is what is causing the database errors?

Thanks.

To get rid of a custom template, just revert it and it will delete it..

[Defkalion]

This is a very nice mod, but there is some problem with cyrillic characters as noted before. Any input in diferrent charachers (for example greek) gets saved as question marks (????? ???? ???). This is the only module with this kind of problem, is there some forgotten charset mis-type somewhere?

Any news regarding this problem? :)

Is this occurring on your forum home?

[douffle]

Is this occurring on your forum home?

I don't think it is from FORUMHOME because I removed a snippet of code that was left there after the uninstall, unless there is more that I didn't see. Everyday I receive emails from my forum with that database error message and I'm not sure what is causing it. I logged onto my site , played around and posted a couple of test messages and stuff like that to see if I could generate the error but so far I haven't been able to but I still receive a 2 or 3 of those email error messages daily.

I'm not sure where smnlikquick puts all of its code or I would search through and try to remove every piece of it. I have searched through a few other templates such as forumdisplay, footer, registration, etc but I can't see any code that looks like it is associated with smnlikquick.

I'm not sure, when I used the uninstall, why it didn't remove everything?
Smnlikquick is not being displayed on the site since the uninstall and the menu for smnlikquick is gone from the admincp.

[douffle]

I just noticed that there is a file called smnlikquick.php in the modcp folder.
I could try deleting that file but I don't think that will resolve it because something must be calling that file to get the database error. Maybe I'll try deleting it and see if the calling file creates an error. That may tell me what file is calling it.

[akulion]

didnt work for me the tabs just show up as clickable links...

ill try later since this is something id want for sure..so marking as installed

That is coming from the SmnLikQuick - Announcements Plugin. Did you remove all the SmnLikQuick plugins?

[King Kovifor]

Also, try removing smnlikquick.php.

[adrenaline786]

is there a way to stop the slideshow thing. I am just asking as the refreshing every second can get a bit annoying. Thanks.

edit: never mind i found the solution after searching this thread. thanks

[douffle]

Also, try removing smnlikquick.php.

I found that while I uninstalled smnlikquick, the file smnlikquick.php was still in the root so I removed it. I'll see if that resolves it, although it seems to me that someting must be calling that file to make it execute. I'm pretty sure I removed all references to smnlikquick in my templates.

Thanks for the help, I'll have to wait and see if the problem is resolved.

It should as the script was listed as smnlikquick.php.

[Bree]

Douffle was right... the file HAD to have been called... I am sure the errors will stop since the file was deleted from the server. (Uninstalling a product will not remove files from the server manually).

This is my thought process in case you are curious... The plugin queries the database to get all the currently active announcements... each announcements' title being the tab. The message id is passed in the URL... When the tab is clicked on, it calls upon the smnlikquick.php, grabs the message id from the url, queries the database for THAT message, and prints it. Because the error/email was coming from the smnlikquick.php (We know this because the plugin's query is written slightly different.. it has no LIMIT) and HAS a message id (id=3), this means the plugin HAD to have worked correctly (The plugin is what grabs the id numbers from the database)... And YET, the plugin would have been looking for the same table (in the database) that smnlikquick.php was.. which isn't there.. the error says the smnlikquick table does not exist. So how did the plugin query it and get a response? Answer... it didn't... someone intentionally put a three in the address (smnlikquick.php?do=message&id=3)... smnlikquick.php grabbed that three from the URL but couldn't find the proper table. The fix to this would be A.) Get rid of the person deliberately trying to aggravate you or B.) Delete the smnlikquick.php file from the server so that that aggravating person will just get a "Page Not Found" error =0) (I say deliberately, but someone might have stumbled upon the address by accident and bookmarked it or whatever, I dunno)

Note to all, when uninstalling SmnLikQuick.. Follow the install instructions somewhat backwards...

disable the SmnLikQuick Mod via AdminCP>SmnLikQuick
Remove Template Edits (See Install File)
Uninstall Product via AdminCP>Plugins & Products>Manage Products
Remove SmnLikQuick Files from server.
Refresh

I apologize douffle for all the trouble *blush*... Hopefully this all fixes your problem.. if not, let us know =0)

[binevi]

first it is great hack!

second can you add start stop buttons or disable refreshing or mouseover effect :)

[Bree]

first it is great hack!

Like have a start/stop button on the user end? Like under the announcements maybe... I actually really like that idea =0) Will see what I can do....

You can disable refreshing by altering the smnlikquick template and removing the 5000 from the following code:

mytabs.init(5000)

You can also speed it up or lower it by entering in a higher or lower number...

When you say mouseover effect... do you mean like if you hover over the title, it will automatically change rather than having to click on it --- Like that one too...

I'll add these to the "to do" list and will see about getting them done in a future release... we have quite a few goodies being added and hope to release a newer version very soon =0) Thanks for the ideas & compliment! Hope you are having an awesome day!

Always, Bree

I just updated vBulletin to 3.7.3 PL1 and now I'm getting errors with this product. It worked fine until I updated, so I'm assuming that vBulletin's patch no longer uses the function being called here.

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in path/to/smnlikquick.php on line 16
I changed the path in the quote for security reasons, but it actually displays the entire path correctly. So...are we in need of a product update for 3.73 PL1?

Bug report for this mod, which I truly like btw, when used with the new VB Blog V2 Beta3 on a 3.7.3 VB build.

In testing with the new V2 Beta3 Blog system coming down the pike from VB, I have found that when attempting to post a comment to an existing blog, or when using the advanced blog search page, the titles of the AJAX tabs show up in the title box of the blog post-a-comment, or the blog search phrase input box.

Screen cap?

[smirkley]

I cant give you a screen cap as I have disabled the ajax tab from my live forum, to prove to myself that that was the issue with the new blog, which it was.

I will describe the best I can,...

...using the old 1.0 blog on a vb3.7.3 pl1 forum

Everything works as expected.

Lets say I have a ajax forum tab titled "forum tab title"..
(note that if more than one forum tab is setup as mine was, the last tab in the list was the one that gave the issue, and disabling that tab in admin acp, means the new last tab displayed would give the issue)

Anyways,..

Last night I installed the new VB Blog 2.0 Beta 3 version, and proceeded to test it out.

I noted that whenever on any of my members blog I click the "Post a Comment" link on a blog, of course it takes me to the Post a Comment form page.

On the post a comment form page, there is the "Title" box, where you would enter a title to your comment if you wished. The problem is that the new blog must use the same variable that the ajax tab hack uses for the title, because the last-in-line ajax tab title now shows up "forum tab title" in the blog post-a-comment title input box.

The same issue also replicates itself on the Blog Advanced Search page, as the search term will now have the last-in-line ajax tab title "forum tab title" automatically inserted into the search term field "Blog Title Contains:".


Disabling the ajax tab add-on removes this problem, and the blog scripts function properly from that point.

I am sorry I will not give a screen cap to see it, but I hope my description gives enough to understand what is happenning.

Check the paths to your CSS file.

I get the same error.

It's in the right folder.

To clarify, I get the same problem where they don't show as tags, but take you to a blank page with the message when clicked. The CSS and JS files are imported to the proper place. I checked the template edits, but the paths are correct there too.

Just an update... We've been working on the next version of SmnLikQuick... Testing now and hopefully it will be released in the next few days (if all goes well). I'm very hopeful that the changes will be a turning point and eliminate most if not all of the issues present. I thank you all for your patience, understanding, and support. Just wanted to give an update =0)

SteamyLightning,
On the page you have SmnLikQuick, can you view the source and confirm that the .css and .js are present. Also, I'm assuming that you have already created active announcements in ACP (if you already said that I apologize, its late and I'm so tired hehe)..

Smirkly,
Thanks for the alert and I am aware of those issues (its irritating the crud out of me on my own boards also grrr)... I'll have that fixed with the next release if it kills me... well I shouldn't go that far but its a priority none-the-less hehe.

Hope everyone is having an awesome night!
Always, Bree

UPDATE: I can re-create the mysterious white-box syndrome... It shows up when I have the mod enabled but no active announcements. Quick-fix (if you are experiences the problem for the same reason), is to create & enable one or more announcement(s) OR disable the mod. Please let me know if that fixes the problem?

how can i add advertisements inside of this? when i put the ads code in, then it just shows the code on the website and not the advertisement

A few days is a bit ambitious for this update Bree. The new features we are adding will take some time. :)

You must enable displaying PHP, but this will be fixed using a new feature in v2.1.

Also, there is a new support forum and bug tracker for this product. It can be found here:

http://www.smnlikdat.org/

[Bree]

Regarding Announcement Titles showing up in Title of new comments etc for Blogs etc... This bug will be fixed (of course) with the next release... HOWEVER, you can fix it now on your current copy of SmnLikQuick by following these steps:

Edit Plugin: SmnLikQuick - Announcements
AdminCP > Products & Plugins > Manage Plugins.

Find:
$title = $smnlikquick['title'];

Replace with:
$slq_title = $smnlikquick['title'];

Edit Template: smnlikquick_bit
AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > *Style*

Find:
$title

Replace with:
$slq_title


All done =0)
Always, Bree

[Bree]

I have a problem with the script, don't read the .css file "smnlikquick_css.css".
My "smnlikquick_css.css" is in the clientscript folder, is correct?

Yes, that's where it is.... When you did the template edit to include the files, make sure that its in the template that the page is calling... For example, if you are displaying the announcements block on Forum homepage only, then you should edit the FORUMHOME template... I show mine on several pages so I edited the headerinclude template. Anyways, once you verify that you edited the proper template and its still not working... then it's probably the include code itself....

<font color="DarkGreen">ITS OK... FIXED PROBLEM</font>

I am having problems showing the text in the tabs...

I have tried with and without the /

I have even tried full url to the .css and .js files... but nothing seems to work

[slinky]

I've got a strange problem with the box not showing up properly. I'm wondering if this is a css issue - this is what happens after install. It's just two links and click on one goes to a page that is just text of the message input, replete with bb code as well.

You need to check the path to your CSS...

[slinky]

Thanks King - Now the tabs show properly and it was a path issue. However, the text in the message areas don't show in the box. Instead, you have to click on one of the tabs to see the message text. When you click on a tab it it takes you to a blank page showing the post in text format as if it's just a .txt file (and obviously nothing else, e.g. no forum appears.)

http://www.mysite.com/forum/smnlikquick.php?do=message&id=2

[slinky]

I get the same error.

Yes - this is the problem I'm having. So on the forumhome you see a box with let's say 3 tabs for three messages. There is no text in the main box area where message 0 (the first message) should appear. If you click on any of the tabs it takes you to a blank page with the message text for that tab. The text appears as if the text was from a .txt file and no html.

If I turn on HTML in the manage panel it provides me with an html version of the box but nothing else, as if an HTML file is created of the message but no forums around them.

[slinky]

Solution: You MUST put the full path NOT relative path of the CSS file into the edit of your template or you will get all sorts of errors.

Does this work 3.8.x ??

[Blackheart_72]

Wicked and just what i am looking for.

One problem i have is in IE if a member clicks one of the tabs it opens a page with just a white background and the announcement, works fine in other browsers.

Also in opera the tabs stay the same whichever annoncement is showing.

[Sworm]

Hi,
in my admincp now i have this error:

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 50

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 50

Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 51

I'm using 3.81 version, why this error?

[Sworm]

I think that it is a MYsql5 bug.
$announcements = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "smnlikquick`");
$announcement = (mysql_result($announcements, 0, 0));
I have installed it on mysql 4 and work without problems.

Not there's solutions? My forum work like a charm on a litespeed board, and i never see any DB errors with noone of mod that i have installed.

[Sworm]

Nothing,
i have created a new user in mysql that have all privileges , but the warning is still in the admincp.

It is a no good hack.

Uninstalled

[King Kovifor]

I've seen this run on PHP 5 just fine... (With 1 minor bug we fixed). The error is saying that the user is being denied access...

[Sworm]

I have created a new user from my cpanel with ALL privileges, my forum running without problem on a litespeed board,
i'm using 10-14 others hack without problems , i don't think that i have a denied access in my db.

[Sworm]

Wow, the first message I thought there was some hope in getting this to run, and now I'm back to square one again!
Strange thing is that I created 3 announcements and they show up, and run like they should, but it is only when I need to manage the announcements is where there error shows up.

There is a smnlikquick table listed in the database, and the three messages are there as well, so there is some point were the program can access the database, and it seems that the manage portion is the one having the issues. Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks in advance

P.S. The only way that I could get this program to run, is put in an annoucement and all is fine with the display, and the message on the CMPS screen. I have two messages there and it works that way, but if I need to delete an old message, I have to go to mysql home page and remove it from the table..... Strange one!

I have the same problem, i think that's it a bug of the mod, that not support mysqli....
if the database can't be connected, all the forum/other mod will be out, but the only mod that not work is this.
I have uninstall it because i can't lose time to add the announcements manually.

Thanks

We use default vBulletin DB classes, it should support it either way.

Ok,
i'm using MySql 5.0.67 a community .....
I Hope that the next release will work for all.

very nice mod !! But I got one more question: is it possible to add a hide funktion (like the categories, the small minus on the left) ?? That would be awesome !

Im sure he means Collapse..

Im sure he means Collapse..

It may or may not be workable for the next version. ;)

[bobster65]

It may or may not be workable for the next version. ;)

if we do it, lets do it so that administrators can set it by user group.. that way they can ensure that certain user groups can't close them and miss important announcements ;)

[murekhalir]

wait is :

SmnLikQuick

different form

YUI tabbed content?

[bobster65]

totally .. this is strictly for announcements only

[murekhalir]

AH in that case,

there is just one question about the mod.. well two...

1. How or where can i change the color of the panels?

2. How can I control time, speed of the slides. (In fact.. i dont want it to move!)

thanks.b (when you have free time to answer!)

[King Kovifor]

The color of the panels is in the template class. Uses default alt. But for rotation, update to this version, and it's in your vBOptions:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1585253&postcount=320

[Sworm]

Hi,
i have found the "problem" that is in the SmnLikQuick.php file in the AdminCp folder.

The author of the mod don't have used vBulletin's database class, for this i receive this errors, is not a database problem:

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'xxxx'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/admincp/mod.php on line 50

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/admincp/mod.php on line 50

Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/admincp/mod.php on line 51

I have changed in the line 50 "mysql_query" with "$db->query":

$announcements = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "mod`");

$announcements = $db->query("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "mod`");

With this edit the first 2 errors are fixed, but there's again the last error on the line 51:
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/admincp/mod.php on line 51

How can i do for change this string in vb database class?Or the're's any other fix?

[Sworm]

Solved my problem, now this great hack work on my forum too:

if anyone have the same problem, however this warning:
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'xxx'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 50

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 50

Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/admincp/smnlikquick.php on line 51

Try this edit:

In the file AdminCp/SmnLikQuick.php found (on line 50):
$announcements = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "smnlikquick`");
$announcement = (mysql_result($announcements, 0, 0));

replace with:
$announcement = array_pop($db->query_first("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "smnlikquick`", DBARRAY_NUM)) ;

Again in AdminCp/SmnLikQuick.php found(on line 122):
$announcements = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "smnlikquick`");
$announcement = (mysql_result($announcements, 0, 0));

Replace with:
$announcement = array_pop($db->query_first("SELECT count(*) FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "smnlikquick`", DBARRAY_NUM)) ;

With this edit i have solved my problem, thanks to Shadab for the support

I might be a tad bit ignorant, where is the template class? located.. >.<

apologies.

OK, that was phrased wrong. The template is called something (it's been so long!) and inside that template you have <td class="alt1"> ... </td> alt1 is what you would have to change.

You need to find the smnlikquick_css.css file and edit it. Its usually under the /forums/clientscript

Find: (mine is edited for my style so look for something similar. Mine was on line 13)
[background: #ff7502 url(/forums/morbid_orange/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left; /* EDIT PATCH/GRAPHIC */

Replace with:
background: #000000 repeat-x top left; /* EDIT PATCH/GRAPHIC */

On line 43 is the button color as well. If you want that black paste the same code there as well. Hope this helps

[KevinGupta]

THANKS looks good I will try it later :)

[Defkalion]

For anyone that's been having a problem displaying stuff in languages other than english, I solved it by doing the following:

Open the product XML file, edit line 19 and change this:

DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 to this:

DEFAULT CHARSET=UTF8 and re-install the product and overwrite...

I hope this helps you. :)

[Eruantien]

yes, send that message to your HOST and ask them to turn it on.. its a php.ini setting on your server.

Can someone be more specific with this instruction? I am getting the same error provided here:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in D:\Inetpub\loremaster\smnlikquick.php on line 16

So I guess my more direct question is. Turn on what?

[bobster65]

Hi Bobster,

Any idea on how to change the colour of the unselected tab name? It blends in too much and you cant read the tab title until its selected.

Ive tried playing around with the css, but cant seem to locate the correct setting.

[bobster65]

Hi Bobster,

Any idea on how to change the colour of the unselected tab name? It blends in too much and you cant read the tab title until its selected.

Ive tried playing around with the css, but cant seem to locate the correct setting.

Without seeing your CSS file, I am going to suggest that you try adding a color element to either the .indentmenu class or the .indentmenu class

so if you are using the default CSS file that Bree provided, it would look like this..

.indentmenu{
font: bold 13px Arial;
width: 100%;
}

change to

.indentmenu{
color: #000000;
font: bold 13px Arial;
width: 100%;
}

OR

.indentmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
width: 100%;
border-top: 6px;
background: #869BBF url(/images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left; /* EDIT PATCH/GRAPHIC */
}

change to

.indentmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
width: 100%;
border-top: 6px;
color: #000000;
background: #869BBF url(/images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left; /* EDIT PATCH/GRAPHIC */
}

I have always loved this hack, but should be really great to edit the css to have that small white gap , that exist in the default navbar gradient tab....

The first red is of SmnLikQuick, the second red is the default.....

AnyBody know what must i do to have the same great gap in this great hack too?

Thanks in advance

############Edit############

I have edited the smnlikquick tpl , the results seems pretty, but the ground is white , not grey like vb default.....

Not there's a way to show grey the smnlikquick border too?

But this hack is related to the calendar?
