Rhoov's News Slider

[haincha]

Just to start out, this mod was not written by me. It was written by Rhoov from Dutch Fight Platoon (http://dutchfightplatoon.com). He gives his mod, as is.

He says If there are people interrested in this product i can post the files and instructions, but maybe better if someone with real VB knowledge could take my code and make it completly VB and in the process i can learn some of it as well :)

here (http://www.vbteam.info/vb-4-x-x-addons-and-template-modifications/55823-grapichal-news-slider.html)

I am posting this addon with the hopes that someone can take it a step farther. It is completely functioning and integrated into the vB Admincp. So, all works. I just would like to see an option to add slides from CMS Articles without having to be in the Admin CP.

But, here are the install instructions, pictures, and demo.


1. Edit the file Connections/rhoov_slider_db.php to match your Database settings
2. Upload all files in the upload folder to your VB root.
3. Install the product-rhoov_slider.xml product This will only create the 2 tables needed.
4. Go to your ACP and you will see a new menu called Rhoov's slider.
5. Here you can edit your slides and slider settings. As you will see there are some slides of my in there so you can see how it works.
6. Create a "static html" widget en insert the following.(the code is on the settings page as well)

<iframe src="./rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" height = "235" width = "100%">
</iframe>

7. Match the witdh and height with those of the slider, but make them a bit bigger to allow for the navigation.
8. Put the widget on one of your layout's
9. Add the widget to the page you want it on

This should do the trick

Remember this is not a real product but just a try out from me
Have fun
Cheers Rhoov


This can be put as a Widget on the main page. By creating a widget as stated above. Or, do similar to what I did.

Inside the vBulletin CMS template vbcms_page insert this.
<vb:if condition="$_GET['r'] == '1-your-page-name' OR !$_GET['r']">
<iframe src="./rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" height = "300" width = "100%">
</iframe>
</vb:if>


Above:

{vb:raw toolbar}
<div class="vbcms_content">
{vb:raw layout}
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>


The if statement only allows the slider to be shown on the main news page, and not inside the articles themselves. Edit according to how you want it to be.

DEMO (http://www.zombiebutlers.com)

I am not an expert in this slider. I just really liked it for my forum, it looks the best and works quite well for us. I thought I would share it. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it better, let me know. I will be sure to update the files accordingly.

[Ramsesx]

Thanks for sharing.

iframe bad for google

iframe bad for google

If you have a better solution, I would be willing to incorporate it. I am not the greatest coder.

[nacaruncr]

I going to install in my web... it like me :D

thanks men ... for the moment, it's only tagged ;)

thanks :D

[daveaite]

Not bad :)

[blue6995]

Strange, I'm sure I uploaded everything correctly and made the changes to the php file but I can't see any of the options to make changes in the ACP!

[haincha]

Maybe try again using the Overwrite button. Install as a product. For me, it shows up in the top of the menu under Forum Options tab.

I just reinstalled it on a test board. It worked fine.

[edyy]

For me didn't worked, i instaled the script but when i click the setinhs menu nothing apeares, just blank

[haincha]

If you don't have the file in Connections/rhoov_slider_db.php match your db settings in includes/config.php it doesn't show up (It can't see your db).

[Juggernaut]

Installed, I like it so far :D

[acezakj]

Is it possible to use this slider instead? http://nivo.dev7studios.com/

[Juggernaut]

Where can I translate "next" and "prev"?

[haincha]

I think if you edit rhoovslider/coin-slider.js


$('#cs-navigation-'+el.id).append("<a href='#' id='cs-prev-"+el.id+"' class='cs-prev'>prev</a>");
$('#cs-navigation-'+el.id).append("<a href='#' id='cs-next-"+el.id+"' class='cs-next'>next</a>");


I am not at my work computer. So, let me know what happens.

[Juggernaut]

That didn't appear to do anything, even after a hard refresh of my browser and clearing the cms cache.

[edyy]

If you don't have the file in Connections/rhoov_slider_db.php match your db settings in includes/config.php it doesn't show up (It can't see your db).

I get this message "Table 'forum.slider_img' doesn't exist"

I think that the plugins think that the databasename is the same with the database prefix. Where do i change that ?

[Baghira]

I am not really fit in PHP.

Could someone customize this plugin for me?
I?m looking for exactly that slider (but name must change cause of Admin CP)

This are my wished modification:

- only widget and Admin CP-Entry
- variable entrys (max. 10)
- height: 250 (for 240px banners)
- php template name must change ;)

I tried it with my knowledge... and ... believe me... it got another, smaller one.. but only one Admin Tool ;)

[way2xtreme]

Hi there, is there away to set each slide to 20 secs?
Current limit: 10 secs
Thanks

[j0k4w1ld]

sadly i get this when i do the above instruction.

Table 'armyofde_rhoovslider.slider_img' doesn't exist


im runnning the latest vb 4.1.3

www.Army-Of-Death.net

[nacaruncr]

It work in vb 4.0.4 and cmps??

because it like me :)

[Whitesky]

I'm currently developing this on some high-end creative client sites. I've rewritten a lot of code and CSS to be more of a premium looking mod than it is out of the box.

I'm definitely looking to pick up this mod, with proper permission, and develop it further. This is the closest thing to what vB has lacked for so long; a full AdminCP functioning slide edit system.

Btw I'm the designer through MysticDigital http://mysticdigital.com so this is really cool with gaming sites ;-)

[iyama]

Look very good.
Buth waiting for a slider who grab things of my board.
Every time to go admincp and changing is to much work.

[frankw]

cool mod, is it possible to get this above the forum instead of cms section?

[nerowolfe]

Hi, great tools, but I've a little problema, see the picture:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (http://img845.imageshack.us/i/immagine000.png/)

The background is white, the font is different and also. Can you help me?

[deinrapde]

not work on 4.1.3 cos the mysql is wrong? please fix

[msoms]

For some reason it didn't connect to the forum database even though that user/pass is correct. Then I realized that my pass word contains "$" thus it was taking it as a variable. So I changed the variable from double quotes (") to single quote (') and it when through, i.e.:

$username_rhoov_slider_db = "user";
$password_rhoov_slider_db = 'pass';

For those who get table doesn't exist, just use your forum DB user and pass and don't create a new DB for it.

Regards,
Mohammed Sharif

Hope this will help.

</iframe>

[xavier.matia]

Hi

I tried to place the slider in a widget, but without success.
As part of the vbcms_page it works, but i really need it as a widget:

This is the code in my static page

<iframe src=./rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" height = "235" width = "100%">
</iframe>

And this is the error i get:

Not Found

The requested URL /rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.54 Server at www.renderglobal.org Port 80


I tried several different path to the src file...but it never finds it.

Any hint would be appreciated.
Thank you for the mod, it's great btw, even though I'm probably going to change it a bit to be able to grab the images from the latest published article of a specific section.

cheers

Xavier

[xavier.matia]

Fixed, it was a missing quote, sorry for the noise!

My Community thanks you mate.

mate its not working i need black background. how would you do that mate?

if u have steam please add me: g2x_j0k4w1ld

[The Rocketeer]

I wouldn't use this one yet, it adds an extra 500Kb's to your CMS, slows your site down a lot compared to others

[crazymilk]

is there away to put this on forumhome 2?

[Alfa1]

It seems that the addon does not account for a database prefix and therefore it does not work for boards that have a database prefix.

[edyy]

on my test site still doesn't work, i've tried everything i knew when i in admincp on rhoov link the page is blank. I checked the mysql database and there averything is ok the tables are inserted and the info is in there. If anybody had the same problems and manage to fix it I will be grateful for the answer.

[RSNF]

It shows on my homepage on the bottom under the News kinda defeats the purpose of having it so any help would be appreciated as I can not get back in contact with the guy tonight as he has signed off for the night. here is a link to show where it is just scroll down to the bottom of the news page http://www.redsoxnationfans.com/content.php thanks in advance for any help


All set thank you

[jeffand77]

Here is my attempt in working the rhoov slider to match my site... http://brotherofwar.com/forum/

[haincha]

That looks really nice. What did you do to replace the left and right buttons?

Any luck on integrating it into the CMS at all, or do you still add them from the admincp?

[jeffand77]

It was a few months ago playing with it so I really dont remember. It was more trial and error but here is a copy of the coin-slider-styles.css

I never tried integrating into the CMS. Honestly I dont know much about it. So it runs through the admincp.

Of course all images will have to be created for your own style and appearance for your site.

[skido]

Working great! Thank you very much :D

[pesclub]

whether it is possible to insert this in the forum of the list for? CMS without a script? at the forum?

[LgsOfChampions]

I just want to un-install this. Nothing personal, just going in a different direction and have no use for this anymore.

I deleted all the files in the upload file and removed the xml from admin panel and I get this

Not Found

The requested URL /rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


anyone know what I eed to do to fully remove this product?

Thanks

[gonzek]

I get this message "Table 'forum.slider_img' doesn't exist"

I think that the plugins think that the databasename is the same with the database prefix. Where do i change that ?

I have the same problem. Anyone know how to fix it?

[marccap]

Do you know where I can find this info to amend the php then I will let you know if its works for 4.2 as its showing a slider but need to amend the below-
