So I'm trying to do a little work here with a carousel that isn't a part of mybb, but before I went and looked all over the vast and wide internet for some assistance, I thought I'd try here. You guys have always been super good to nimrods like me.

Anyway, I want to install a carousel that will auto cycle, but also have navigation buttons.

I've got one installed (this one actually) and I've managed to get it to at least show up... that's more than most that I've tried. I'm terrible at java.

But I can't find anywhere to allow me to set the carouself to auto cycle, I'm positive it wasn't supposed to be a feature but it shouldn't be too hard to add it right?

If that's not a possiblity or one that requires too much effort, I'd be happy with navigation buttons... which this one does have... but they aren't appearing at all.

Again, I know this isn't really the best place for this but before I go and sign up somewhere else I thought I'd try here first.

Thanks for your time.

PS. The page that I'm trying to add this too is right here. It's the "Upcoming" section that I'd like to put get setup.Soso

Just would like to note that Java and JavaScript are wholly unrelated to each other and are vastly different. I've updated your thread title to reflect that.

See... I didn't even know that.

I mean... I knew that one was a language and one a platform kinda thing but I thought the innards were basically the same.

Thanks for havin' my back, Josh.

The big difference between them is the use case they're targeted to, although there is a level of overlap.

JavaScript is generally aimed at adding interactivity in web pages. Java is aimed at writing cross-platform desktop (or mobile or server) software. It's stricter in the standards developers must adhere to and must be compiled each time the code is changed, whereas JavaScript is more or less the opposite in those ways.

The overlap is that Java can be used to create "applets" embedded into a web page that run just like other Java code would, but through a browser plugin; Node.js allows now for all kinds of things to be done cross-platform and locally, using the V8 JS engine from Google, though it's notably different from the JavaScript you'd use with wen pages.
