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.

if so, that would be in the smnlikquick template.. the .init sets the time in micro seconds, just change it higher or lower to decrease or increase the intervals.

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

Well, i liked and installed this hack on my 3.7.0 RC1 forum. I did all the things right, announcement window appeared on my forum home. I entered an announcement from my admin panel and when i turn back to my forum i saw that it's showing loading.gif and "Loading..." text but not showing the announcement text i entered.

My php version is 4.3.9 and it's Apache 2.0 Handler.

What can i do to solve this problem? I really want to use this brilliant hack.

Stupid question but has anyone tried this on 3.6.8? Not wanting to update my board till the full release of 3.7 is out but wouldn't mind adding this.

Nice Work.

[Mythotical]

As far as I know this has not been tested on 3.6.8, I will probably test on my 3.6.8 test board tomorrow.

Did you upload ALL files? If so try to re-upload all files again making sure they upload either in binary or ASCII mode.
