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

  (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.

Are you asking about the rotation time of the Tabs?

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)
