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.

• Usergroup permissions per Announcement.
• Slideshow timing controlled via AdminCP (Control Speed or Disable this feature)

Works great after taking out the 2: "/" indicated above.

One question, I do see loading when it is switching from one screen to the other but the loading symbol does not show up. I do recall seeing the file in the upload folder.

Thanks so much,

The graphic included is in upload>forums>images>misc>loading.gif

You can check/change this graphic/path in the upload>forums>clientscript>smnlikquick_ajax.js file on line 6 (Along with the "Loading..." text)..
If taking out the / in the other file worked... doing the same in this file might help as well... or you could try putting the full url...

Line 6 of smnlikquick_ajax.js

ddajaxtabssettings.loadstatustext="<img src='/images/misc/loading.gif' /> Loading..."

Hope that fixes it, let me know...

[joeycano]

The loading symbol works after taking out the "/" as suggested above.

Thanks again for such a great mod.



Edit: Installed perfectly on Version 3.7.0 Beta 6
