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 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.

SmnLikQuick CMPS Module - This turns your SmnLikQuick v2.0.x Announcements Block into a CMPS Module. You MUST have BOTH SmnLikQuick v2.0 AND vBAdvanced CMPS installed. Demo: SmnLikDat.com
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

This is one awesome plugin! But I do have to ask you something if you don't mind.
1), is it possible that you can make an option out of that it changes blocks after every xxx seconds? I noticed not a lot of people that noticed this plugin being added liked the way it changes block automatically.
2), We have a chat box at the bottom of our forum, and like 1), the block changes causes height changes which causes to mess with the chat box itself. It doesn't really changes the chat box, but it keeps changing the heights because every block has different set of lines / space it uses. Possible you can think of something? That'll be great. This plugin is awesome though, thanks!

You can stop the rotation.. just read up a few posts ... its an easy template edit .. and yes, there will be controls added into the next release.
Thanks guys, I figured it out. . I was also wondering if the author of the plugin could add a "Are you sure you want to delete this announcement" box after you selected on "delete". I accidentally selected delete rather than edit. And it removed the announcement right away.
This is probably one of the most useful and pragmatic mods I've seen on this site. Great work, Bree (and all who lent a hand)! People tend to ignore my announcement forum--which rests at the top of my forums--but with this mod, important announcements can't be ignored!
