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

Thanks

You can use my content files ( http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25189 ) from this mod (with a little minor editing) with this, since this is driven of that lol .. but ya, you can and its being done.

There are probably going to be some new features with this as soon as Bree gets back online. KK and I have a list ready for her lol.

Thanks again.

Thanx for that bobster, this is really a good mod, possibilities are endless, i'm lookin at put our radio panel we've made inside it.. just needs a fiddle about with .. but getting there.

Thanks again, *awaits next version*



Hi bobster, I've looked through the link you gave me, quick questions...

Basically, would I have to install the whole thing for it to work or could I take the thread php file and upload it and have a tab point to it...so which code would i use to do that?. . or is there another way round it?

Thanks

Ok running VB 3.72 and a friend brought this program to my attention.

Installed and when I go to add a message I get this SQL error message.

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user: 'torontod@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


Even if I add a message, then I don't get a message block like I have seen, and if I add another message it does not display right.... Like this

• Test1
• Test2

Any ideas? I would love to see this one work.

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

And double check the CSS path.

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>

I had put the full path in there and that did not work out, but I removed the / slash and now I get the blocks and see the two messages.

But I don't understand the SQL errors that I have listed. Error Messgae The requested URL /forums/admincp/function.mysql-query was not found on this server.

Here is a screen capture of where the errors occur, is there anything else that you would need from me to sort out this problem?




Sorting out this stuff is my weak area big time.

[King Kovifor]

The first error says it cannot establish a connection with your database. Does vBulletin give you this error?

No I don't get that error message for vBulletin at all. I checked my emails and there was SQL errors reported for VB.

But here is the ones from your software. I hope that this will be a clue for you.

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.1:
