I love using the HTML Content Block and HTML Rotate Content Block. I would love even more if I could schedule when a content would be displayed. This would be great for my front page promotions. I could schedule each content block to be displayed at a certain time. I could create a month in advanced all my promotions and not worry about when to take them down and put new ones up.
ie:
Janurary 1 - 7 - HTML Content Block 1
Janurary 8 - 15 - HTML Content Block 2
Janurary 16 - 23 - HTML Content Block 3
Janurary 24 - 31 - HTML Content Block 4
Anyone see an easy way maybe to make a new HTML content Block and have a schedule?
BTW, I just learned how to create roating HTML/Text in my header with the Rotate HTML Content Block. Awesome!

Bryan, You're in luck! The Develisys BVC 5 Toolkit that we released a few weeks ago includes one such widget. You can schedule content with a start and end date (and time). You can also optionally specify default content that is shown when you are outside the specified date range. |

Hmm, can't say that I've seen that error before. We have one BV site that is running SP3.2 so I tried to install the toolkit and got an error due to a missing method in the BV Core assembly. So, it looks you will need a newer version than SP3 for this to work. Bummer. |

Bryan,
There is a neat little app called Xigla Content Rotator that you can install and you can control all kinds of rotators on your site -- simply create the code in the Xigla app and insert it in one of the HTML boxes from within BV. |
