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

If its just stuck loading, that's because its trying to find the source and its not finding it. I am willing to bet that its a simple path issue between vBa CMPS and vB .. this is common with vBa when you have vBa installed in the root and vB in a subdirectory of root..

So...

In headinclude I have:

<!-- SmnLikQuick -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://tuttopes.net/forum/clientscript/smnlikquick_css.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tuttopes.net/forum/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 -->

And I Add a new Module to the CMPS...

I clicked on uninstall and everything looked like it went ok. The smnlikquick menu disappeared in the cp and the tabs disappeared in the forum but now I am getting database errors. I looked in the templates and there is a smnlikquick template listed under Custom Templates. This may be what is causing the errors but I can't figure out how to get rid of the template. There is no delete button and it won't let me just delete the code. Any ideas on how to get rid of this template and if this is what is causing the database errors?

Thanks.

To get rid of a custom template, just revert it and it will delete it..

When I go into Edit Templates and select the smnlikquick template, the Revert button is greyed out.

Ok,... forget the above comment. I figured it out.

Thanks bobster65

Any news regarding this problem?

Unfortunately I am still getting errors after uninstalling smnlikquick.

I keep getting the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM `smnlikquick` WHERE `id`='2' LIMIT 1;

MySQL Error : Table 'mdforum.smnlikquick' doesn't exist

I've look through some of my templates but I have no idea where the problem is.
Anybody else have any ideas? Its really annoying getting all these error messages every day.

Thanks.
