Can u create Test Login?

[Taurus1]

Thanks! This seems awesome. One thing though! Can you please help me on where to alter those tables. I get a database error regarding that. So I suppose I will have to make those edits.

Thanks!

[J98680Bxxxxx]

Start your phpMyAdmin and execute those two queries respectively on the tables `thread` and `user`. You can also execute these queries from your ACP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query.

Thank you very much! If you would permit me to just ask this last, probably dumb, question?

So when doing the query in my ACP, do I just enter this:

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

and run it?

and then the next one?

I appreciate your help!!

[J98680Bxxxxx]

Let strt with the first message. MySQL Error : Table 'thebull_CreativX.vbslideshow' doesn't exist

Do you have the table `vbslideshow` created as it should?

If it was not automatically created by the mod, please execute the following (you can find it at the beginning of the product xml file, in the install code):


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`vbslideshow` (
`slideshowid` INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`userid` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`username` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`dateline` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`threadid` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`description` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`cover` varchar(250) NOT NULL),
`title` varchar(250) NOT NULL)

I am not sure whether it was created. It boggles my mind! I get a database error saying it doesn't exist, but when I do the query it states that it is a duplicate!!

So should I enter the above code into the XML and re-install?

Thanks for all your help!!:up:

[klaush]

Thanks for this, but it is yet not working properly.

Two issues; first the table "slideshow" is not created by using the plugin; the second issue is, that a deinstallation of the product does not delete one plugin, that would be left in the plugin area and that causes further mysql errors. So you have to delete that plug manually.

Thanks for all your help!!:up:

The code is already in the XML file. On first installation, when importing the product, you should set the option "Allow Overwrite" to "No". The `slideshow` table should be created automatically. If you see that the table has not been created, for whatever reasons, just create it manually using the code above. It is for your particular database as I added already your table extension.

When deinstalling (removing/deleting), the product is designed to automatically deleted the tables that it creates. Check the "uninstallcode" specified in the XML. vBulletin also automatically remove all associated plugins defined in the "plugins" section of the XML.

[Taurus1]

I really appreciate your help, but I am a bit unsure on how to create the table manually. Can you please help me with how to do that.

Thank you.

Do you have access to your site's CPanel? If yes, login in there and start phpMyAdmin. Select your database and check the last column of the tables `threads` and `user`. Those should be `slideshowid` and `slideshows`. Also check if there is a table called `slideshow` in the listed tables on the left-hand side.

This is what I see:

107793

and on the left this:

107794

EDIT: Sorry I browsed those vbthread and vbuser now, and I see the slideshow and slideshowid in the last colums. I just fail to see the slideshow/vbslideshow in the tables on the left.

[J98680Bxxxxx]

Click on vbthread
This will display the structure of the thread table.
Scroll down to the bottom and check if there is slideshowid
If there is none, click on SQL tab at the top and paste the table altering code in there

ALTER TABLE `vbthread` ADD `slideshowid` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0'



Do the same with vbuser.


Check if there is a vbslideshow on the left hand-side. If there is none, then do the following:
Click on your vbulletin database name (top, left hand-side). This will display the structure
Click on SQL tab and paste the followingtable creation code in there:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`vbslideshow` (
`slideshowid` INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`userid` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`username` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`dateline` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`threadid` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`description` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`cover` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
`title` varchar(250) NOT NULL);
ALTER TABLE `vbslideshow` ADD INDEX ( `threadid` );



Basically, this must be done automatically at first installation of the mod. :)

[Taurus1]

OK, fantastic! Thank you so much!! Got that sorted. Now I get this on my homepage:

107795

I suppose that is the slideshow (If I had any that would display!) But I have that ticked as "No" in the settings. Anything I can do about that??

[J98680Bxxxxx]

You have not created any slide show yet. Don't forget to upload the content of the upload folder to your main directory.

From your ACP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Slide Shows Options
"Show in Forum Home" -> Click No.

Adjust the settings as you see fit. :)

Also thank you for pointing out the table creation failure issue. I have updated the XML, as there was an extra parenthesis in the code of the installation section.

[Taurus1]

I created one now, and it just displays 1 pic in there on the homepage. And also the setting is to "NO" in the Vbulletin Slide Shows Options.

107800

But it still shows.

Also, why do I have this in Chinese?

107799


EDIT: Man I hope you don't get annoyed with me!? I would really just like to get this working!!

I also found that if you click on the "Thread tools" drop down, the slideshow buttons overlaps the drop down like this:

107801

107799

If you have 1 slideshow created, it will only display that 1 slideshow, as it is displaying the cover of that slideshow. Clicking on it will take you to the thread containing the complete slideshow pictures. If you have more slideshows, it will randomly display 5 (covers) of those slideshows.

Ignore the Chinese image, you can click on the little cross to take it away permanently. I could not create an equivlent image. It says, <- for backward and for forward ->. You can remove that image (e_m_02.png) from the file uploaded, or create an equivalent one and share it with us. :)

Edit: vBulletin thread tool layer loads first, that's why it is displayed on the background and the slideshow layer on the foreground. It does not prevent to use/select those sub-menus of the thread-tools, at least on my side. :)

[Taurus1]

Fortunately I live in China! So I thought it had something to do with that! lol

The issue though is the fact that even with the setting to not display on the homepage, it still does. And also the overlapping issue. I put up a screenshot of that in my previous post.

Here you go! It's a bit small to get the text nicely.

Correction made. The piece of code has been added in the new XML file (v.1.01). Just import it and allow overwrite.

Thank you for the feedback. :up:

That's also a reason why I left it as is. Clicking on the small cross will keep it away permanently for the browser in use. Maybe one of the designer could create that small button for us, with english text?

[Taurus1]

Great stuff! All working now! Thanks for all your help and patience!

And you're welcome. It will definitely come in very handy on my forum. (Looks much better with the English button! lol)

I will test it now. Thanks! I just want to ask something else here! If my members enter, well, let's say 10 wallpapers to the slideshow. If other members want to download the wallpaper, how do they do that from within the slideshow?

EDIT: Also, is there a way to change the white background?

At the current state, there is no option to download from within the slideshow. I will add that option to a forecoming version. :up:

The background color is defined in the css style sheets associated with the mod. In a forecoming version, I will add an inline style option to overwrite it and allow a user defined background color. :up:

That'd be awesome! :D

There is already an option included for displaying, above the forums on the index page, a small slideshow window containing as pictures 5 randomly selected covers from existing slideshows.

If you mean something else, please be specific. :)

Installed and working well.

How/where do I change/remove the text ".A total of 16 pictures. Current set, picture." at the top of the slide show?

Start your phpMyAdmin and execute one of the ALTER queries above on the table `slideshow`. This will create the required column.

I don't know why vbulletin is not performing it directly at upgrade of the product.

[RobbieZ]

nice slideshow, can get rather complicated, more or an experienced poster to use and not newbs.

But it is a learning curve.

Nice. Thanx

It doesn't matter whether you have the "$vbphrase[personal_sticky]" or not. If you have the SHOWTHREAD template, just search for the location of the thread tools (<!-- thread tools menu -->) within the SHOWTHREAD template and insert that piece of code between any of the </tr> and the immediate following <tr> of the very first table right after "<!-- thread tools menu -->" :)

so my understanding is each thread i create and place in this mod via admin can have an image and when the image is clicked it takes me to that thread ?

can this image be made clickable to go to another web site and not the thread ?

How to use it?

1. Create a thread
2. Once the thread has been created, click on the "Thread Tools" and select "Add slide Show"
3. follow the instructions. It's just like adding a Photo Album, except that with this slide show: (1) you are not limited in the size of images; (2) you can keep your images anywhere on the Internet (file hosting sites like imageshack.com, photobuckect.com, tinypic.com, etc...), thus giving your database a break; (3) you have a flash-like output of your images. . :)

[betts02]

only problem i see is it resizes the image which i dont like as some pictures are smaller than others and this make the small one's look silly when resized

it does not show the selected image chosen on my home page, just a blank screen
added all the images the same to test and just blank screen on forum home

would be great if images were just put up in the size they are in the forum, maybe resize the image to make smaller but not bigger

make the image clickable to another web site

i want to use this as an affiliates thingy and this would be great

Making an image clickable to another site is another issue as a click on a slideshow image is for moving either forward or backward in the slideshow set.

An upgrade, which will take into account those small sized images, will likely be posted by the end of this week. :)

As a result of an action taken by vb.org regarding the sidebar mod, I am discontinuing the support that I provided on my mods here at vb.org. I will join a different site where I will be posting further developments.

Hello J98680B2423E,

I have deleted your thread "vBulletin 4 Sliding Like Sidebar For vB 3.7.x-3.8.x" for the following reason.

You are not permitted to re-distribute vbulletin files.

You might also want to consider changing your username, since it appears to be your licence number.

Rgds,

Paul M
vbulletin.org Staff

vBulletin files? :eek: The source code for the sidebar is available at yahoo developper site. As for vBulletin, just start the homepage from any browser and click on view source to see how it is structured.

Any way, I will leave this site and join other site where I will be posting further mods.

With best regards,
Data

be sure to let me know where you go mate as i will continue to use your mods as will many others

Hi

I have a small bug.

When ein try to edit my thread i become this error:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /var/path_to_forum/editpost.php(1167) : eval()'d code on line 9

This is the code on line 1167:

Great Mod, I Like it a Lot. :up:

My Best Regards.

I Confirm a Bug on this Mod when Trying to Edit the First Post of the Thread that Contains the SlideShow, (on vB384) :confused::

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/zzz/public_html/zzz/editpost.php(1167) : eval()'d code on line 8

I Hope Data Decides to Come Back and Provide a Solution for this Bug. :confused:

For Now is Not Possible to Install this on my Forums because this is a Critic Error, (Not Being Able to Edit a Post/Thread). :(

My Best Regards and Hopes for the Author to Come Back. ;)

The Problem is on the Plugin "Slide Show - Reload Page After Quick Edit".

You should remove the "this->" on the "this->$post['postid']" and the Plugin Code should be like this:

if (!empty($threadinfo['slideshowid']) AND ($post['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid'])){
eval('$headinclude .= "' . fetch_template('slideshow_reloadpage') . '";');
}

And for the Image Sizes (width and height), they can be set on the "epidiascope.js" file on "clientscript -> slideshow".

the options are "maxWidth" and "maxHeight", (there is another "minWidth" that I don't yet know what it is for).

My Best Regards.

:)

[Kolektor]

I am very much impressed about this mod but I hope future updates will includes control to width and height or perhaps auto resize.

Hi, I have this mod installed but only a problem: slideshows don't displays in threads where Article Forums Mod is using. Any solution?

[Rich]

I was interested in looking at this later on but the instructions are not in a file for me to download. You should have a file for download and not just have the instructions in the post.
