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

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

Bree has complete control over that. As it stands she does not have a computer right now, and cannot reply to you. Be patient and see what she says.

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.

Ok guys i have same DB problem here, i got the css sorted but i still get this error:

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