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

2. Import Product: SmnLikQuick.xml via AdminCP>Plugins & Products>Manage Products>Add/Import Product

Excellent mod . I got it to work perfectly on my forums, but when I followed the installation instructions to have it show up on the vbadvanced CMS homepage, it came up but the announcements would not show... it just showed a continous Loading....

I reverted back to just having it on my forums homepage for the time being, but I'm curious if anyone else ran into this issue while trying to use it as a module on the vbaCMS frontpage and/or if anyone has a clue on how to resolve it?

Great work so far on everything Bree and anyone else who has helped with this mod

This mod is perfect, will nominate it too ...

Suggestions for next version:

Allow for multi row of tabs, with the tab graphix finished so it has outline all around the tab
Option to center tabs across the box
Incorporate bbcode and html at same time, or option to have either per tab
Let images be used inside the tabs, I haven't been able to, so not sure if its me or the mod.

[douffle]

I'm not sure if this is where I would ask for support but,...
I am trying to install the mod. I uploaded all files as instructed, went into the admin and selected Plugins & Products>Manage Products>Add/Import and where it says import the XML file from your server, I entered ./includes/xml/cpnav_smnlikquick.xml but I get an error saying: Invalid File Specified. I then tried re-uploading the file using the Browse in the Import manager but I get the same error. Am I importing correctly or should I be importing a different file?

Thanks

I am working on the BBCode + HTML support.

It shouldn't be a cpnav_ file. You should upload the .xml that is in the root folder of the zip file.

Thank you King Kovifor.

I don't know how I missed that file. I uploaded all the files in the Upload folder and missed that one. Thank you very much.

Appreciate your help.

[King Kovifor]

It wasn't in the upload folder most likely. I sent the v2.0.5 to Bree this morning so hopefully she will update it with the patch I supplied earlier soon.
