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

The time is in milliseconds, so 5000=5 seconds .. if you want to slow it down to 10 seconds, make it 10000. If you want to totally STOP the rotation just remove the numbers ie mytabs.init() That will make it so that they manually have to select a tab..

<script type="text/javascript">

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

</script>

What file is this in ?

Update to 2.0.6 found at the link above. Then, edit your options. Very last one should be set to nothing (not even a 0) and it will work.

Could I please get some help on this issue. I planning on a big update and i would love to have this reload properly. Right now, it is reload the first announcement over again, then moving on to the second.

Can I get a link to your site to see whats happening. Are you on a highspeed connection when viewing the site? I know that it comes default with a rotation of 5 seconds, so if you are on dialup, its going to be out of wack until the entire page loads and then gets caught up.

5 seconds is WAY to fast of a rotation time.....

Can you cut your rotation down to 10 seconds and see if the problem still exists?

I'm not on dial-up. My guess is it may be an issue with Firefox. I'll try a 10 second rotation and post back. I currently have rotations disabled because of the issue.

EDIT: Yea, it reloads the first announcement over again in FF but it goes straight to the second one in IE.

ya, thats a weird one to say the least.. usually its IE that is messed up lol..

The only thing I notice is the "order" 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 .. I doubt that has anything to do with it tho.. I'll see if I can replicate this. This is the first report of it doing what you are saying (that I know of) .. did you try and set the order 1-2-3-4-5 to see if that worked in FF?
