Contributions

I got a question about little modification of the contrib. This addon allow you:
1) Select as many tip infoboxes as you want.
2) Set and unset random order for tips, selected from database. So you have an ability to create static tips.
3) If random is OFF you now may sort tips by their create order asc or desc.

No file modification needed. Replaced only 1 file. Instructions included.

ADDON ONLY

Nice idea but realisation is worse and completely unusable. I try to rework this contribution. Hope, it will help some body.

Version features:
1) Full multilanguage support
2) More osC standard in code, look and fill :)
3) Ability to set individual titles
4) Ability to edit and delete your tips
5) Ability to activate and deactivate your tips
6) Using HTMLAREA simplify the tips creating process
7) English and Russian language-pack

So, you may use this contrib not only as a tips, but you may now provide any information which changes randomly from page to page.

Any questions PM on forum to RusNN.
