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

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.

I am so glad that you figured that out *blush*... I'm just getting set up to get some work done and have been trying to figure out your issue with no luck... Was coming to post a couple of "possibilities" but apparently they wouldn't have worked anyways. Thanks for letting us know (in case anyone else has same issue)... Have an awesome night.

Always, Bree

If I am not mistaken, check your CSS.

Just for the record.. on the page where you have the SmnLikQuick Announcements showing... you can right click and opt to view the page source (source code... worded differently depending on which browser you are using)... Look for the coding (that was added during the first edit.... Which is as follows:

<!-- SmnLikQuick -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/clientscript/smnlikquick_css.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/smnlikquick_ajax.js">
/***********************************************
* Ajax Tabs Content script- ? Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/
</script>
<!-- / SmnLikQuick -->

If it is not present then you will need to add that coding to the correct template. If it IS there but is still showing the links... try taking out the / (forward slash) in the address..

IE Change:
/clientscript/smnlikquick_css.css and /clientscript/smnlikquick_ajax.js
To:
clientscript/smnlikquick_css.css and clientscript/smnlikquick_ajax.js

If that doesn't work, let us know.

Always, Bree

Bree, please check your PM, important.

Bree... sorry for off topic question. Can you please let me know where did you get the Top 5 hack for 3.7.0? thanks.

No Problem =0) It's the Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics by Cybernetec...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177778

It's quick, easy, and painless to install... and my members seem to love it =0)

Always, Bree

Sorry, for the "boring" update but it was for security purposes. So it is very important that you re-upload all files (excluding the smnlikquick_css.css) to your server allowing overwrite. Then just re-import the product (xml)... You will not lose any announcements etc. Thank you MagnetiCat for the heads-up! Much appreciated!!

And Joeycano, I didn't forget about you =0) Will attach you a special admin file for you here.

Thanks all and I am sorry for the inconvenience!
Always, Bree

EDIT: Download the full SmnLikQuick v2.0.4.zip from the first post to upgrade.

[rapidphim]

Bree, your zip file only contained 1 file. Am I correct?

Did you download the zip file from my last post? If so, yes that was just one file... But don't use that, re-download the full package from the first post... (SmnLikQuick v2.0.4) I should have clarified that, sorry.. Joey requires a special admin file for his setup and that's what was in the last post.

Always, Bree
