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

DEMO: SmnLikDat.com Community

Co-Owner/Co-Authors:

• Bobster65
  (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
3. Refresh AdminCP (ie: Ctrl-F5)
4. Complete Template Edits (2 Edits) - Instructions provided in .zip file.
5. (Optional) Edit includes/smnlikquick_css.css to match your style.

As of the latest version HTML isn't parsing. Try disabling the parsing of BBCode inside of the options.

you can adjust the rotation by editing the smnlikquick template and setting the mytabs.init(5000) to something higher. The time is in milliseconds, so 5000=5 seconds .. if you want to slow it down to 10 seconds, make it 10000. If you want to totally STOP the rotation just remove the numbers ie mytabs.init() That will make it so that they manually have to select a tab..

<script type="text/javascript">

var mytabs=new ddajaxtabs("tabs", "divcontainer")
mytabs.setpersist(false)
mytabs.setselectedClassTarget("link")
mytabs.init(5000)

</script>

The second template edit in the installation notes (in zip file) is the placement... you can put it wherever you want (assuming the files from edit one) are pulled on same page... (so put both edits in the header template) I have to look... personally I added the first edit to the headerinclude template... then I can pretty much put the second edit anywhere and everywhere =0)

Deactivating BB Code (in SmnLikQuick Settings) Activates HTML... At the moment you have to choose either or, sorry *blush*...



I am sorry that there has been no updates recently... I haven't abandoned the mod, I've just been having some health issues recently and the new medications making coding impossible more times than not.

Always, Bree
