Forum Home Enhancements - [AJAX] SmnLikQuick v2.0 - Advanced Announcements Block

Description:
SmnLikQuick v2.0 adds an advanced announcement block (Title and Content) to your vBulletin powered pages that is easily managed via AdminCP. This new version (based on the AJAX Tabs Content Script (v 2.0) written by Dynamic Drive), utilizes Ajax to display multiple announcements in one container when the title (tab) is clicked on. It also has the ability (and utilizes this ability upon install) to rotate between tabs (announcements) in a "slideshow" type manner until a user explicitly clicks on a tab (see screenshots provided).

See Post #02 for log.
See Post #98 for Upgrade Instructions.
See Post #99 for Multiple Styles Fix

  (who brought you the CMPS Module: "AJAX Tabbed Content")
• King Kovifor
  (who added BB Code Parsing! Thanks so much King!)

Please Note that there is a new setting that allows Admins to choose whether to parse BB Code or HTML (not both). It is reccomended that you parse BB for security reasons, however the choice is yours.

Future Features:

• Usergroup permissions per Announcement.
• Slideshow timing controlled via AdminCP (Control Speed or Disable this feature)
• Display certain Announcements to certain users via their UserCP

bree, but when i did made the template edits on "header" it only shows the mods on front page, but not when i view the thread. it seems css and js is disabled only when i view the threads

It is okey for all IE versions.

In firefox, it seems long text overflow. What can we do?

Is it showing any errors? Or just not working... Can you link me to your site (either here or PM)? The only thing I can think of is that the css and js edits weren't made on a template that was pulled on these other page... I wanna see so link me pretty please.

I am sorry about that, and when a new version of SmnLikDat is released, will automatically have that restriction taken out... When this was created it was for personal use on my own site so templates were created with my own wants/needs in mind and I forgot some things when coding to release. Funny, because that restriction didn't work out like I wanted it to on my own site so took out myself too LOL Anyways, I am babbling hehe... To fix for now.. in the template: smnlikquick

FIND

<div id="divcontainer" style="border:0px; width:97%; height: 105px; padding: 6px; margin-bottom:1em">

And Either Change or remove the code in red ( height: 105px; )

Always, Bree

Thanks a lot Bree, this is really a requirement for all vB users. For Web 2.0 use Ajax..

Bree,

I'm having the same issue in Post #63. Can you advise what language you removed from the XML file so I can get your great script working.

Thanks,

JoeyCano

Is there a way to decide the size of the block of the announcements?
thanks

Do you want it set at a specific Height/Width? or do you want that dynamic based on the content?

in the template: smnlikquick

FIND

<div id="divcontainer" style="border:0px; width:97%; height: 105px; padding: 6px; margin-bottom:1em">

Hi I have this problem...
Installed and working good with text.

I tried to insert html code to show a banner inside one tag and the banner doesn't show.

"Parse BBcode" option is disabled of course, and in fact I can see the banners properly showing in my ADMINcp/Manage Announcements section.

But in the forum, inside the boxes, the same banners are not showing..
thanks,
M

Not sure if you skipped my message above. I'm wondering if you could advise what part of the code I need to remove to obtain the edit announcements screen.

Thanks,

Joeycano
