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

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

Hi:

I just installed this hack but I just get a bulleted link. Where's the AJAX stuff? lol. I installed BOTH the CMPS and the 2.04 zip files. I am getting the error message in IE: ddajaxtabs is undefined. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Make sure the CSS file is uploaded to the correct path.

I don't have long so will make this quick... My laptop crashed (on husband's right now)... so will be unable to update this mod or offer support for it until I get up and running again (good news is that it was still under warranty and HP is going to replace the necessary parts hehe)... I apologize for this delay... Trust me, this hurts me a lot more than it hurts you (*sniff* I SOOO miss my baby (aka laptop))... Hope everyone is well!

Always, Bree

I get this warning...

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 /----/----/--------/public_html/smnlikquick.php on line 16

What to do???

Thats because its not finding the .css file. Edit the path in RED below and try the full URL to the .css (or remove the / before clientscript) one of those should do the trick

<!-- SmnLikQuick -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/clientscript/smnlikquick_css.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/smnlikquick_ajax.js">

Anyone know why this problem is there, please?

ok thanks a lot, but now it still leads to a blank page without any background, just the content.

do the same with the path to the .js file

Is it possible to place php code inside one of the tabs? For example, it would be nice to be able to have tabs that show a list of new posts or new threads, called in the same way that several mods do.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to coding.
