Widget Slider - Frontpage Slide Show.

Demo: http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/

This is based on the demo above. OK this is my first mod and I know the coding really sucks! But I thought I would get this out and see if anyone want to improve on it.
This is one of those frontpage slide shows that pulls your attachment and data from specified forums.

I hope this works for you.

Install:

Edit slider.php and at line 100:

$forumid - set the forum to pull slides
$limit - set the number of posts
$chars - set the total number of characters
$words - set total number of words

Upload Files.

Create PHP Widget and inser the following code:

ob_start();
echo '<div>';
echo '<center>';
require_once './clientscript/slider/slider.php';
echo '</center>';
echo '</div>';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

NOTE: This mod uses the jquery javascript so if you load it already for other plugins (i.e. cometchat) then look to see if you need to load it with the script.

Looks promising.Any way to get this to work on the forum front page?

I'm seeing this tagged a CMS widget, so exactly what are we pulling from a forum when we have no original forum post with attachments per-se for our CMS articles?

Perhaps, however I am still learning.
I need to template a bunch of this stuff and then do a hook.
I'd like to make it a plugin so you don't have to edit the php.

This is all stuff I will try to do...

I guess I see your point, but for me... My Articles start off as forum posts in the "Current Events" forum. Then I Post as Article...

I guess some people don't use stuff this way so, perhaps this isn't a good idea for your site.

Good mod but i have a problem with....

Not show the images from post in features and

My forum is on folder /forum, if you put on a title of one those post featured show me an error, because the links put http://web.com/showthread.php?t=323 an not http://web.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323...

Why can i fixed?

Thank's

Slideshow is working but images are causing all kinds of strange display (breaking out of the frame). Needs to be able to auto re-size images or only show portions of images and fill the entire frame. Cool start though. I am desperate for a slideshow like this.

Any idea how could I go about getting rid of the small preview images section completely?

actually i am just using your widget code, because already got a working slideshow software, but when i use it, somehow the forum goes to the left and the size of the font becomes smaller. Maybe some tags not closed or something missing?

Sorry, this was for the CMS and I certainly have a long way to go before it is ready to template and use hooks to place in the forum home.

Thank's

Opps... Yep this is why I put this out here for the pros... The code is set for no /forum/

So to fix, check slider.php

Find these two lines:
$link = "../showthread.php?t=".$threadid."";
$imagepath = "../attachment.php?attachmentid=".$pic['attach'];

and make:
$link = "../forum/showthread.php?t=".$threadid."";
$imagepath = "../forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=".$pic['attach'];

You may need to adjust this line:
require_once('./includes/class_bbcode.php');

as well

1. Images, yeah I make sure my event posts have 400px or less... I'll have to investigate resizing...

2. Drop the tabs... Hmmm, try this: near the bottom of slider.php.
between tabhtml and centerhtml add

tabhtml ='';

actually i am just using your widget code, because already got a working slideshow software, but when i use it, somehow the forum goes to the left and the size of the font becomes smaller. Maybe some tags not closed or something missing?

So you mean you are pulling in another .php file? Hmmm... No I have one div and one center and both are closed at the end.
You could simply drop the div and center statements and see if that helps?

we can use it also on the CMS with CMS content ?
That'd be great, but not right now...
It pulls from a forum and not the CMS.

NOTE:
Folks thanks for the feedback and I am truly sorry if this is a struggle. Again, I had this and other ideas of mine posted in the Programming section here but I got no feed back... So I posted this here to see what people thought.

I will do my very best to get this thing up to snuff, but this is also tagged as a free project so if someone else is faster at this than me - go for it...

Ah... Are you pulling in any portion of the php file?
I have a lot of CSS in there - perhaps that is the issue?

01-24-2010, 03:50 AM

First of all thank you so much for putting this out. I've been working with it for a day now and have got it to a point where I can implement on my site. Graphically it is fantastic! Just what I was looking for. Had to make several adjustments to the PHP and CSS but nothing to difficult.

The way I have implemented this is to set up a private forum. When I get some good content (with nice photos) I copy the posts to the private forum. I then crop the photo to 650x320 and re-attach. The only problem I still have is the links from the thread title in the slideshow to the thread it came from. I want to remove that link completely since members will not be able to see the private forum. Any idea how to accomplish that?

Again, thanks so much for sharing. I had a slideshow like this on my 3.8 site and my members really missed it since upgrading to 4.0.

You can see it installed here: www.westcoasthighliners.com

I would love to get feedback.

EDIT: To drop the tabs I changed this tab items in the CSS to display: none

Thanks for the compliment and I am sorry you had to spend a day messing around :-)

OK, so for the link:
In the slider.php find this line:
$centerhtml .="<h2><a href='".$link."'>".$titleContent."</a></h2>";
The key is the $link - you can do one or the other:

Change the line to:
$centerhtml .="<h2>".$titleContent."</h2>";
To drop the link reference

or change the line to:
$centerhtml .="<h2><a href='http://yourlink.com'>".$titleContent."</a></h2>";
To insert your own link to send the user

Hey man... I checked your site:
www.mastdunya.com right?

Your attachment.php is at the root...

So you should drop those changes and put back to:
$link = "../showthread.php?t=".$threadid."";
$imagepath = "../attachment.php?attachmentid=".$pic['attach'];

Did you upload slider to the correct directory? /clientscript

For yours, since it is a different slide show... I am not sure how it is rendered.
But I would suggest, follow very closely the code's <div> tags and make sure all <table> <tr> <td> <div> tags are open and closed properly.

Sometimes I start in the middle of the code and slowly work my way out until I spot a potential problem.

I am assuming this is the issue... Your slider has some unclosed tags...

I did not understand ... Where pulls the images and the textual?

cory_booth

03-05-2010, 06:06 PM

I did not understand ... Where pulls the images and the textual?

This is designed for you to select a specific forum (in the code).
This will pull the first attachment in that forum...

So the idea is you can have a forum where you make annoucements or reviews and the first post will have an image attached.

Now on your site you can have a "slider" that rotates through those images and links back to the forum posting.

its VERy rough around the edges, but functional...

Hmmmm, hate to ask a stupid question but I'm getting used to it.

I've installed the mod and setup where it pulls the posts from but it's not displaying anything, no pictures or the text, just a blank widget. Have checked all the permissions etc so was wondering if there's a js script I should download for this?

Preech

03-06-2010, 03:24 PM

Any errors?

I have the front page slideshow running on my site if anyone would like to check it out. It is NOT this mod though. It is the actual static version of the frontpage slide show product. As is, it requires you to modify to files directly and upload the images via FTP. not to complicated. PM me if you are interested in this other version.

Reef Man

04-15-2010, 01:11 PM

LEt me explain you what I need to do to make it work.

For this moment, it can not recall articles, just threats from forums.
I had 2 problems:
1.-I bought the suite from Vb, but every time I publish an article, it creates a threat on a selected forum and all the comments goes over that threats. As that is not good on the way I use my my site and I was using VBadvanced before, I need something that solve that problem.
2.-After install it and selected 3 different forums, I saw that only calls messages with attachments, so I need to convert all as attachments to make it work.

Then, with this problems, I created an specific forum where all the message I want to show on the slider will be.
I am permissions on this forum, just to the moderators to publish new threats and all the members cann´t, but all the members can answer there, so with this, I solve all my problems about the comments on the CMS.

Then, I just program to select topics on that forum. All the threats now are with the pictures as attachments, and with the correct size. Now, in that forum I am publishing, the Tanks of the month, the Histories or news about the hobby, and all the contests. The real articles, are on the CMS and that´s it.

Check out this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230417

I use it on my forums and it works great for keeping the original thread in it's place and the comments are automatically added and referenced from the thread.. and it is posted as an article.

Keep up the good work!

Bouncer222

04-22-2010, 01:10 AM

I tried to add this as a module as i disabled my cmps and use vbadvanced instead at my site www.brotherhoodofgamers.com

I added it as a slidermodule.php file to my modules folder for vbadvanced and enabled it and at the top of the page I get this...

ob_start(); echo '
'; echo '
'; require_once './clientscript/slider/slider.php'; echo '
'; echo '
'; $output=ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();

How to add it as a module?

EDIT: FIXED IT by adding <?php to begining of file and ?> to end of it to make it real php...but now its not showing anything on my homepage...its not working.

My forum id is 6 and here is what I put...

$forumid = array(6); // Set forum IDs here.
$limit = '5'; // Limit the displayed slides
$chars = 120; // Character limit for the slide text, e.g. 100 is 100 characters limit.
$words = 20; // Word limit for the slide text, e.g. 20 is 20 words limit

is that right?

Bouncer in the php file. It already called for a open and close php. With vbadvanced isn't it possible to create a php module where you can call from a file. Use the code you posted as a template. Try that.

05-02-2010, 04:35 PM

insstead of using attachment, can you make it so the slideshow use [img] from the threads instead?
this is a better way for those who are using shared host that has limited bandwidth since we can use free image upload site

Hiya,

Just got this working in a basic form. Just wondering:

1) How do you remove the wee preview boxes on the right? So that just the main image changes on its own.

2) How do you resize the width of this?

Cheers,

Got this working a bit better. :)

Couple more queries and I should be done I think. How do yo uset the text so it goes the width of the image? At the moment, it keeps performing line breaks rather than following the width of the image? See www.fiat-scotland.com for an example pic/text.

Also, is there any way to put a slightly darkened background just against the text area, to make the text more readable?

Thanks again,
Martyn

Just a noob-question: how do you enter the forum IDs in slider.php. Replace numbers inside the array with forum iDs or...? Tried a variety of solutions, but no one seems to work.
$forumid = array(184,149); // Set forum IDs here.

Reef Man,

Didn't test it but you can create a new php module in vbadvance and add this part of the code into it. The rest of hte instructions should be the same.

ob_start();
echo '<div>';
echo '<center>';
require_once './clientscript/slider/slider.php';
echo '</center>';
echo '</div>';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Hi Reeve of shinra,

Sorry, I am not an expert coder. Thanks in advance for your help !

On a test version of my website www.atkcommunity.com I am trying out your content slider and have ALMOST made it completely work on my vBadvanced homepage :).

However, I am having the problem that when the homepage loads, all of the images for the different slides appear beneath each other:

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6184/94774237.png

Once the site has finished loading, it appears as it's supposed to:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I would really appreciate any help you guys can give me that would eliminate this problem. This may mean making it so that the images are loaded progressively, but I wouldn't know how to do this. Maybe just ensuring that the images are always contained in the box would work?

Thanks!

I looked at your slider on http://www.acuarios-marinos.com and it looks like you have the same problem. Luckily your forum isn't transparent though so you can only see a very small portion of the next image. Anyway, if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!

I would like to ask few questions.

I have downloaded and uploaded the file from the first post slider.zip and your module to. Is it necessary to keep silder.zip files? I am not sure because when i edited both files both had same configs.

Your widget is operating brilliantly in my forum but i feel that slide has some of problems text not appearing can you check here www.emonx.com

hope this helps you out.

Mr Sinister, is there an easy way to add CMS articles to the slider?

First off thanks to the author for this great mod! I installed this on our site with a little tweak to make it work with CMS articles. You can see an example here - http://sportsgamingcentral.com/forum/content.php

Upload the attached file to your clientscripts/slider folder. Just add the section ids to the file before uploading it. Then use this for the widget code. Hope this helps.

ob_start();
require_once './clientscript/slider/recent_section_articles.php';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

There is one suggestion I would like to make here. Instead of putting the init variables directly in the slider.php you can set them at the time of setting up the widget. This way you could use different widgets to act as sliders for different forums. I plan to make changes to the CMS article file for a similar use on our forums.

10-14-2010, 05:55 AM

Great mod and great modifications and assistance by DS MrSinister!

One question though, I've got this working with VBACMS, however the images are all HUGE. Anyone else using a similar setup run into the same? Should I only use posts that have adequately sized images?

Put allot of work into this, by reading all the info the good Dr. Posted. I have a question is it possible to make the slider work with varying resolutions.

Example in 1900x resolution it looks great nestled in the left or right column. But once I got to 1024x768 its to big, and all the elements get pushed away.

I have the frontpage slideshow on my site. Which is a stand alone thing product that was actually made for Joomla. Have it for months and done lots of tweaking to it. It's not an easy simple thing to make work with VB. If this thing does what the demo shows above it would be a nice thing for VB users but I suspect this is a complicated process.

If anyone at VB is paying attention, this would be a great feature to have built into the CMS!!

While I am no coder if you PM me maybe I can offer some help or at least advice.
I am going to try this on my test site and will report back.

Later.

Hi guys - I was doing some vB upgrades today, and now my slider isn't functioning properly. The error Firefox gives me is

Error: $("#featured > ul") is null

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

if anyone is looking to make this work with vBadvanced CMPS. just download this attachment.
Don't forget to edit lines 20 to 23 to fit your needs.

add a new php module --> name what ever you want too --> File to Include slidermodule.php

---> Use Module Wrapper Template up to you. enjoy

Could you make this module available at vBadvanced please?

This is a great Mod!
But... it's not quite working lol.

Apparently the one forum I want to show, won't, and these are the news oriented posts that get promoted to articles; and if I try another forum like sports, it's showing the first four articles in that category, as in from 2006. Odd.

I can't believe that there isn't a default slider as part of vbulletin to be honest by this time. It's been asked for yet nothing done!

forget which setting in the CSS code you need to change. look in the PHP file at the CSS code.

Thanks I'll keep trying..
I'm guessing to change the height/width of the slider display is also located in the CSS.

But what is the default size that the images should be for the slider?

I read 400px... I'm guess that's 400px for width. But what about in Height?

Thanks Alot!

I'm using the slidermodule.php file for vBadvanced. The issue I'm having is that it will not parse the bbcode.

if (!is_object($bbcode_parser)){
require_once('./includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
}
