About
This mod was commissioned by "The Land of Fu (http://www.fuflixbulletin.net)" and approved for release at vbulletin.org. The original goals for developing this mod were:

To reduce the growing size of vbulletin database;
To allow members to posts series of images not limited in size, but kept at images hosting sites like photobucket.com, imageshack.com, tinypic.com, etc...;
To allow continuing discussions within those threads displaying slide shows.


Acknowledgement
The basis codes used in this mod originate from SINA?s, an online media company and MVAS provider in the People's Republic of China and the global Chinese communities, and have been modified to suit the needs of "The Land of Fu".

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD `slideshowid` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `slideshows` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;

For those in desperate need of a demo: Outside vBulletin environment, you can find a raw slide show example here (http://slide.ent.sina.com.cn/slide_4_163_1907.html), and a sample display of all slide shows here (http://slide.ent.sina.com.cn/).

In the installation section of the XML:

changed to

`cover` varchar(250) NOT NULL,

Parenthesis removed just after the NULL. This might be causing the failure in creating the slideshow table on some databases.

Unfortunately, I don't have VBSEO and will not be able to test and provide support in that area. :)

Looks like it has potential. Is there any way to define the slideshow size?

There is a complicated way. I have adjusted it to display well and fit on most screens.


Update in v.1.02

The following piece of code in the XML and PHP files:
query_write("DELETE FROM `". TABLE_PREFIX ."slideshow` WHERE `slideshow`.`slideshowid`=
has been replaced by
query_write("DELETE FROM `". TABLE_PREFIX ."slideshow` WHERE `slideshowid`=

as it affects databases with prefixed tables.

Well it's not that simple, for example i have a sidebar in my showthread pages, so it just breaks my layout. If you think it's not much trouble to share how it changes its size, please do. :)

Try increasing the screen resolution of your computer display. I hope you are not using a 640x480 screen resolution (lol). If you still have the sidebar breaking, you can try adjusting the slideshow parameters in the following files:

The file called "epidiascope.js" controls the width and height of the main slideshow display. Open that file and search for:

maxWidth : 910,
maxHeight : 700,
minWidth : 720,

The style sheet file "style.css" also control the display. Search for:

#wrap{width:950px;text-align:left;margin:0 auto;padding:5px 0;}
#efpBigPic{text-align:center;zoom:1;position:relative;border-top:1px solid #e5e6e6;width:950px;}
#d_BigPic{width:950px;overflow-x:hidden;min-height:300px;_height:300px;}
#endSelect #endSelClose{background:url(e_m_01.png) no-repeat -300px -950px;position:absolute;top:3px;right:3px;cursor:p ointer;width:11px;height:11px;overflow:hidden;z-index:2;}

and adjust the value of the width parameter.

Also in style sheet file "style.css", search for:


#d_picIntro{color:#666;width:750px;margin:0 auto;text-indent:2em;line-height:1px;}
#efpTxt .others{text-align:right;width:750px;margin:0 auto;padding:5px 0 0;color:#ccc; height:1px}

and adjust the width parameter.

The files mentioned above can be found in the upload folder of the mod. :)

Update in v.1.10


Option to download active picture on slideshow
Option for slideshow owner to select/change the background color of its slideshow display
Option for users to add descriptive text per slide show pictures.


If for some reasons the database new column 'slideshow_bgcolor' required by this mod on the "thread" table has not been automatically created during this mod installation/upgrade, please do add that column manually using the ALTER table command.


ALTER TABLE `TABLE_PREFIXthread` ADD `slideshow_bgcolor` VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT '#fff' NOT NULL

Replace TABLE_PREFIX by your actual table prefix. If you have none, then use the instruction:

ALTER TABLE `thread` ADD `slideshow_bgcolor` VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT '#fff' NOT NULL

Allow overwrite :up: and don't forget to manually alter the table if the new column is not created automatically.

I know I'm coming late to the party but I tried D/Ling this and keep getting a corrupt zip. Your file size says 349.9 KB but I keep getting 25.6 KB, any chance for a re-up, would love to try this

Thanks
