Ahh, gives the error in the ACP. I will look into a fix. Thanks!

[M.Iftikhar]

i am using 4.1.10 suite but i do not use cms and it give data base error please fix this..and reply me soon.

[DragonByte Tech]

As stated above, I will look into this issue this evening. In the mean time, and especially if you aren't using the blogs as well, you can install the Forum Only product file and it will work for you.

[New Joe]

Could you enplane a little more what has to be done in setting this part up:

Create new Custom Content

Content Link (what to add?)

Content Image URL (what to add?)

Thanks.

[GhostHunter2010]

this crap mod messed up my forum so badly blahhhhh im usin vb 4.1.9 huh i will never use this mod never in my life i will even rate it zerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

i am not using CMS but i am using blog.........so how can i do that...

[garybrun]

Its not a crap mod and works well.
Just a few teething problems with CMS.

[DragonByte Tech]

Could you enplane a little more what has to be done in setting this part up:

Create new Custom Content

Content Link (what to add?)

Content Image URL (what to add?)

Thanks.

The content link is for if you want to link to an external page to further discuss the item you have in the content. As an example, lets say you were have an event, and you had an event page set up somewhere on your site. From the slider, you would want to link to that event page, and you would do it via that link.

The content image url is just the url to the image you want displayed for that custom content. Along the same lines as the event above, if you had a banner for the event, put the url to the banner image in that box and the banner would be displayed inside the slider.

Does that answer your questions?

[DragonByte Tech]

this crap mod messed up my forum so badly blahhhhh im usin vb 4.1.9 huh i will never use this mod never in my life i will even rate it zerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

Can you expand further on how it messed up your forum so we can look to improve the product? Its hard to make a product better with feedback like above but no explanation on the issues which caused the comment.

[Mr_Running]

Could you enplane a little more what has to be done in setting this part up:

Create new Custom Content

Content Link (what to add?)

Content Image URL (what to add?)

Thanks.


Content Link
http://www.yoursite.com/content.php?50-Your-content-title-link

This is the URL to the blog, article etc...


Content Image URL
http://www.yoursite.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=40

This is the URL to the image/picture or attachment of choice.

To everyone else if you do not have the CMS disabled.
Go ahead and install.
Great Mod this is the Ultimate Slider. :)

[stl7997]

Great stuff man! The only slider mod I've been happy with. Nominated for MOTM!

[macrocamaleon]

Working great in 4.1.10 !!!!!

Thanks for this great mod....

Nominated for MOTM !!! that's good news....

Tried it on our 4.1.10 test forum. After enabling it on forumhome, the forum home simply didn't load, and would stall at loading forever. Turning it off brings things back to normal. Will keep an eye on this, but for some reason it's just not co-operating with our setup right now.

[New Joe]

I've set it to pull 5 Contents I've set up but it will only pull into the slider 2 of them.

Also it could really do with some sort of picture re size built into it, the pictures it pulls come through way to big
This is the same when you pull them to the slider via a Thread or Article

Have you tried re-uploading the files and/or reimporting the product? I've seen this happen once or twice during testing and development, but could never figure out why. It was always fixed by re-uploading the files and reimporting the product.

It shouldn't causing that extreme of issues, but do you have any other jQuery mods installed? In the cases that I have seen with conflicts with other jQuery mods, the slider will still load, but nothing will show up.

If you can narrow it down in anyway, I will work to try to figure out the issue.

Are you sure you have the content types active, as well as set to display in the appropriate location? Each custom content type (that's what I'm assuming you are talking about) can be independently disabled, as well as independently be shown on either forumhome, the cms, or both. I'd check those, and if you still have issues, let me know.

As far as the image resizing goes, that is on the list of things to fix for a future version. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about it, considering the size of the slider can be so different between different sites.

Brad

[New Joe]

Yes, it was just delayed in showing after I made them, all showing now thanks

Although as it's pulling the images from an outside url the quality of the pictures are really low.
Not sure why.

What Internet browser do you use?

If it is IE 9 with Vista
Reset all settings in IE 9:

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset

[ThailandTopper]

I installed it on a 4.1.3 and a 4.1.10 forum with zero issues. A very cool mod.

[DragonByte Tech]

v1.0.6 is now available which fixes the ACP issue for the Suite when either the CMS or Blogs is disabled.

First thing I tried, made no difference.

It shouldn't causing that extreme of issues, but do you have any other jQuery mods installed? In the cases that I have seen with conflicts with other jQuery mods, the slider will still load, but nothing will show up.

No other jQuery using mods that I'm aware of. Our mod list is quite extensive, so narrowing it down might be a little tough. I'll try the update here in the morning, see if it fixes things.

What Internet browser do you use?
We tried it on Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE, from the computers of multiple staff members in different countries. Same issue was experienced by all.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Works A1 thanks again Dbt

[ProFifaLeagues]

Is there a way to add extra image backgrounds to the Slider ??


Ok now thanks got them showing just a little wait before they were Ready :)

Currently they actually resize to the slider width. I am trying to determine the best way to figure out sizing for a future release.

Did you turn off loading jQuery from the General Options? If so, turn it back on and see if it starts working.

Great mod! *again*
I'm using a modified footer and I the copyrights look like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
But when I install the slider (which works perfectly) the footer changes and it looks like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
Any way to fix that? FIXED!
And I know this probably isn't an option, but if possible, would it be okay to move the copyright to the footer instead of having it where it currently is? I don't mind having the copyrights but I just don't really like how it looks down there. lol

[New Joe]

Have you thought anymore about adding a re-size part for the pictures it pulls into the slider?
When it pulls in pictures from the Forums/Articles they are way too big and it just doesn't look right.

[Mukashi]

Tried the new version, and still having the same problem. Regardless of if we turn off the jquery load in the mod or not, enabling on the forumhome just makes it so the forumhome is stuck in an eternal load.

[New Joe]

*Un-Installed*
Will wait for the product to be able to re-size images it pulls in, before installing it again.

Glad you got it fixed. I had another person have the same problem with a custom theme and it had to do with duplicate naming of the div class between the slider and the theme. I plan on correcting this in the next version.

As far as the copyright, the ability to move it to the footer is part of the pro version. I will look into possibly making it part of the lite version as well.

As I mentioned before (somewhere?), I am trying to figure out the best way to resize the images to fit inside the slider. The main issue comes down to admins having the ability to size the slider how ever they want via the Stylevars. And then there is the issue with the pulling of the image from the content. If I fit the pictures to the height of the slider, then an image in a post that is, lets say 200px wide by 600px tall, is now going to look small inside of a slider that is 200px tall (the image will be about 67px wide by 200px tall), and there will be a lot of background area showing around the image (if the slider is 700px wide, almost 80% of it will be empty).

So yeah, its on the list to do, just trying to figure out what makes the most sense in how to do it.

Brad

[DragonByte Tech]

Without having access to the site, I doubt I can help unfortunately. If you can narrow it down to a mod that is incompatible, then perhaps I can see how to make it compatible.

Just as a test, set all of the counts for threads and blogs, etc., to 0 and see if it still does it. It shouldn't matter, but just trying to see if its getting hung up in some other way.

Well, actually that I can do myself I figure it out when I was trying to fix the footer; but if you want to keep it just for those who buy the pro version I'll respect that.

[misericorde]

Hello,

Thank you

Can you change the text color (blue, white, red)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/01/34.jpg

[DragonByte Tech]

Colors can be changed via Stylevars, and can be different between the forum and CMS, so be sure to change them in both locations.

Brad

[misericorde]

Thank you Brad.

I want to put more images in this widget (cms). How can I do?

Well now, that's very interesting. Turning it on for forumhome and setting all the counts to 0 stops the eternal loading....and instead gives me a mySQL error.

That's weird... That part of the SQL query is related to global ignore of users, but it appears its related to threads instead of blogs. I guess in the time that this has been out, no one using it has been ignoring any users. :| Ok, I know what needs to be done now, so I will get it fixed in the next version. Thanks for finding this!

Hello!
I have a problem.

This mode perfectly works on my forumhome, but does not works (even appear) on CMS.
I'm using last vBulletin 4.1.10.


I've tried re-install product and re-upload all files, but nothing is changed.
I've tried enable\disable jQuery, and change versions of jQuery with no results.
I've checked on my custom and Default styles - still nothing.


Please help!

Do i have to disable CMS for this to work? I have uploaded everything correctly but nothing is showing up?

[jack-d]

Definitely a step in the right direction. Needs a few tweeks and I would go Pro instantly.

Image resolution needs to be upped, looks pretty low-res right now and I have a high-res board.

Some sort of re-size method is needed and I know this can be a problem with all that you have mentioned before but I hope something gets worked out because right now I could not use it the way it is.

And finally I think that HUGE drop down screen needs to go. It covers 30-40% of the block the entire time the image is displayed. Get rid of it or the option to get rid of it. How about move it to the bottom in a narrow block like the Nivo slider. That way it won't hide close to half of the screen and block the images underneath it.

Tagged and waiting for the next update.

For the CMS, it is just like any other widget. You need to place the widget into your layout in the location you want it. Hopefully that sorts it out for everyone who asked.

For the drop down screen, you can resize it via Stylevars, just look for the content width stylevar. In the pro version, you have the ability to move the slider to the top, but with the title, message, and link, it still ends up taking up a lot of space.

Not sure on your comment on lo-res... If images in your threads or articles, etc., are small, then this upsizes them (currently) to fit inside the slider, therefore making them appear lo-res. This will happen no matter how I do it. If I keep the image the size it is (so that it appears hi-res), you may end up with a lot of blank space just so the image looks "hi-res". Like I said, maybe I'm just misunderstanding you.

Everyone has different tastes and I just feel a slider should be just that, not a huge obtrusive block hiding everything you are trying to show. Just a suggestion for you to build upon.

Like I said, maybe I'm just misunderstanding you.

Brad

I actually made a few posts and made some images up that were sized to fit the slider so no resizing would be required and when I look at them in the forums they look fine but viewing the same image in the slider they look like a jpg compressed to 40 or 50%. Now this was one test and I have not had time to test it anymore so it might be something else. I know they are not "upsizing" as you say so that is not the issue.

All of my images are on the large size and the only way this slider would work is for me to manually re-size them all and that would be no fun. I for one would need no enlarging as it will always look low-res but if this could reduce size that would be great.

[DragonByte Tech]

Well, I am using vB's built-in attachment system via attachment.php to display the attachments, so I don't see how they should be any different than in the forum. There is nothing in the code that should be changing the quality of the images. I'm not sure what else I can say.

Brad

[New Joe]

When I had it installed the quality of he pictures were really bad for some and fine for others,

[DragonByte Tech]

When I had it installed the quality of he pictures were really bad for some and fine for others,

My guess is that for the ones it was really bad for, the images actual width was significantly less than the width of the slider, in which case it was getting upsized.

Hello Brad,
I've found a bug with VBSEO integrated in my portal.

When I click on slider, the link led me to not VBSEO articles or themes and show me only my main CMS or forumhome page.

Example:
http://www.xpam.org/content.php/250-%D0%9F%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0

Instead of this it must led me to
http://www.xpam.org/content/250-pulsa-denura.html

I'm using Russian language and utf-8 on my portal.

[DragonByte Tech]

Its an issue with vB and their lack of a friendly URL function that works for the CMS. It is being corrected in 4.1.11 (at least, according the the latest Jira). Until then, you just need to edit the widget.php file in (forum)/dbtech/vbslider/actions/widget.php, search for "content.php" and replace it with "content" (at least that's how it looks given your links), and it should work. If not, let me know.

Brad

[sergarch]

It does not work.

"Page not found" error occured.

Ok, so it appears that it's pulling the exact name of the article, which is in ??Russian??, and using those letters in the URL instead of regular letters. It might take me a bit to figure this out, as I'm not even sure where to begin testing this. I do some searching and let you know what I find out. Thanks!

Brad

You are absolutely right!

This issue only for none English speakers forums with vBSEO enabled.
English speakers forums works perfectly with this mod.

[DragonByte Tech]

Version 1.0.7 has been released, fixing some issues, as well as adding an option to allow admins to define a minimum image dimension for slider images. Basically, this is to make sure small attachments don't get upsized significantly and displayed inside the slider. This DOESN'T fix all the issues with image sizing right now, but it does give you a little bit more control over the images that show up.

I would also like to thank everyone who nominated and have voted for this product for MOTM!

Brad

[DragonByte Tech]

If you downloaded v1.0.7 before this post, please re-download the package and reinstall. There was a small error in the XML file which is now fixed. Thanks.

Edit: It appears there is still an issue in the XML that I need to fix, so I have removed the download for now. Once I get the issue fixed, I will put the file back up. Sorry for an inconveniences... :(

Brad

The product has been fixed, so v1.0.7 is once again available for download. Thanks!

this crap mod messed up my forum so badly blahhhhh im usin vb 4.1.9 huh i will never use this mod never in my life i will even rate it zerooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

I would recommend in future that you back up your site files and tables before attempting an install. No need to slate the mod the way you did. If you had a backup, no harm done!

We need to show respect for the modders for even attempting what they do :up:

[baghdad4ever]

I don't see it loaded anywhere on your site, so unfortunately, I can't look at see what the issue is.

Brad

i enable it now after install the ver 1.0.7

the same problem
( logo doesn't appear)


and i had another problem


my forumhome is very very slow , after i disable the slider , the forumhome return to normal loading???

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't know why it isn't loading the image. It is all there in the page source, but I can watch it in Firebug and the image isn't getting loaded for some odd reason. One thing that I may try is setting up my dev for RTL and see if that has anything to do with it. I don't see why it would, but it's at least worth a look.

i have problems with vbseo - the links in the slider does not will be rewritten to the settings in vbseo :(

[DragonByte Tech]

This is due to an issue with vB's built-in friendly URL function for the CMS. It is currently due to be fixed in the 4.1.12 release. In the mean time, give me the structure of your CMS links, and I can tell you the code modifications to make in order for it to work on your site.

Brad

[The Rocketeer]

Definitely a step in the right direction. Needs a few tweeks and I would go Pro instantly.

Image resolution needs to be upped, looks pretty low-res right now and I have a high-res board.

Some sort of re-size method is needed and I know this can be a problem with all that you have mentioned before but I hope something gets worked out because right now I could not use it the way it is.

And finally I think that HUGE drop down screen needs to go. It covers 30-40% of the block the entire time the image is displayed. Get rid of it or the option to get rid of it. How about move it to the bottom in a narrow block like the Nivo slider. That way it won't hide close to half of the screen and block the images underneath it.

Tagged and waiting for the next update.

this. and also it doesn't have a forward and backward button like the nivo slider?

great - because i love this mod

i have instead of content.php -> /portal/

for example www.url.com/content.php?... -> www.url.com/portal/articel1


i hope that is what you mean - would be great if we can save this issue ;)

[DragonByte Tech]

I may need a little more information than that, but we'll try for now. In the file widget.php (found in [forum]/dbtech/vbslider/actions), on lines 450 and 460, find the following code snip...

<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/content.php/' . $row[$i]['nodeid'] . '-' . $row[$i]['url'] . '">

Replace the content.php with portal. As I mentioned, we'll have to see, as it may need more changes, usually in the remainder of that code, for the order of the nodeid, dash, and url (123-this-is-your-article). If it is exactly how you show above(this-is-your-article-123), then make the overall code as follows:

<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/portal/' . $row[$i]['url'] . '-' . $row[$i]['nodeid'] . '">

Remember that you must change it on both line 450 (title link) and 460 (read more link). Hope that helps.

I've recently downloaded and installed the lite version of this on my forum and I really like it but the only thing I'm wondering is why it shows no images for the threads even thought the actual threads have an image in every one of them.

I would buy the pro version if I could be assured that the problem can be fixed or at least minimized.

Also I've noticed that it doesn't work well with user's default text font & color.

[ScarlosSantana]

Upon further review I just paid for the 3 month version and it's not even loading images at all.

Everything works great for the slider cms version v1.0.7. I have a problem with version v.2.0.0, the slider in the cms disappears after a few minutes.

I have vbulletin 4.1.1.0 suite.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you post or PM me a link to your site? I can't recreate this. I've had my dev server running the slider for over 10 min now, and its still going.

Brad

[DragonByte Tech]

I'd love to try to help you out, but if its not something I can recreate, then I don't know where I need to fix the code.

Brad

[bposner]

I must be doing something wrong. Slider seems to be set up correctly but all that shows are blank areas. I've messed a few times with the settings, add ALL forums just to try to get it to work, including VBcms.. nothing.. I'm sure it's not the program, just something I'm doing.
Thoughts?
Edit: Ok, the widget seem to work with custom option and blogs, and CMS articles. However the forum side doesn't seem to pull, even though I have CMS and FORUM setting the same..

Thanks for the help.

[DragonByte Tech]

Are you sure you have a quantity for the threads? Can you PM me your site URL so I can look into it further? Thanks.

Brad

[Spectre_Aidan]

nevermind now i got it working, the only probelm is that when you set it to forum it shows the dragonbyte image and not the one from the thread

[DragonByte Tech]

How is the image shown in the thread? Is it an attachment or via an IMG tag. The lite version only picks up attachments. The pro version has the ability to use attachments and/or images inside IMG tags. So, with the lite version, if there isn't an attachment, it will default to the default image. With the lite version, the default image is not definable, whereas in the pro version, you can define your own default images for the blogs, threads, and articles independently.

Brad

[DragonByte Tech]

I actually made a few posts and made some images up that were sized to fit the slider so no resizing would be required and when I look at them in the forums they look fine but viewing the same image in the slider they look like a jpg compressed to 40 or 50%. Now this was one test and I have not had time to test it anymore so it might be something else. I know they are not "upsizing" as you say so that is not the issue.

To come back to this issue, I figured out a potential cause to this while working on someone else's slider who was having similar issues. The problem is, if you don't take into account the borders of the slider, and size the image to the size of the slider as specified in the StyleVars, then the image is actually being resized slightly, resulting in a "blurry" or lo-res image. On the user's site I was working on, it ended up that if the slider was sized 12px wider than the actual image, then it would look exactly how it does outside of the slider.

With that said, how the slider handles images will be overhauled in a future release, as I have come up with some further ideas on this, which hopefully will result in better performance as well as better looking images. I don't have a timeline for this fix just yet, but it is definitely in the planning stages.

Just a little note that I replied to your email roughly 15 minutes after you sent it - have you checked your spam folder/ensured *@dragonbyte-tech.com is on your safe sender list?

In future sending a PM or starting a thread on the DBTech forums is the best way to ensure you get a quick reply - especially since posting about Pro products here on vb.org is against the rules, so we can't actually give you support etc on that here ;)

[Gholsie]

A few ideas for you guys to improve this module...

- Change slide feature to show text from right to left (instead of top to bottom as it is now).
- Add left and right arrows so users can scroll back and forth manually.
- Give admin the ability to change the time between slides.
- Ability to run multiple sliders showing different info, I want one slider for forums 1-3, another for 4-6, and another one for the CMS articles.
- Ability to load graphics within the admin panel.
- Scaling attachment background images - reduce size to fit the width at least.
- Size configurable in the admin control, not the theme variables.

That's it for now... ;)

[DragonByte Tech]

A couple of those are already in the Pro version. Others are already on the drawing table for a future version. The rest I will definitely take into consideration for a future version. Thanks!

Brad

[DragonByte Tech]

This is a "must have" in pro version. I'd like to have it soon ;)

Another thing: the option to resize the height and width of textblock and the transparency.

You can already resize the width of the textblock via stylevars. The height is purely based on the height of the slider (left and right content) or the amount of content (top content). Opacity is hardset, but I could possibly add that as a stylevar as well.

As far as the prev/next and all that, its in the plans for v3, which I am planning to be a major overhaul of the entire thing. :D I will say its in the design stages, and I hope to be in the development stages sometime soon. It'll probably still be awhile before its ready though, unfortunately. :(

Any way to have the image that is "fit" in the slider to be centered instead of pulling from the top? I find that it would work fine to show the center section of images that ar too tall for the slider.

www.surthriv.com/SURTHRIV (http://www.surthriv.com/SURTHRIV)

It appears the issue is that you are having it pull 10 articles, but you only have 5-6 articles total on the site, so its causing that to duplicate some of the articles. Try lowering the latest article count to 3-5 and see if that fixes it.

Brad

EDIT: Disregard that comment, as it should only display the max number of slides as there are available content items. So if you only have 5 articles, but have it set to display the 10 most recent, it should only display what's available, which is 5. What are your settings for the CMS slider? (screenshot?)

As far as the next version, I am hoping to get it out in the next couple of months, but I can't guarantee anything unfortunately. As far as manual code edits, with the way it is currently coded, if the image is centered, then the text area will be completely screwed up. :(

How many items were you trying to load into the slider when you experienced the MySQL issues? Once the content it initially loaded, it never hits the database again until the page is loaded again, so it causing the database to go away seems odd to me.

But yes, the next version should help this issue out.

The file does in fact exist in the download, as I just checked, so please try to upload all of the files again. Perhaps there was an issue when you originally uploaded the files.

As far as the "Read More" link issue, are there particular instances when this occurs, or on every single slide, irregardless is its for the forum, CMS, blog, or custom? I've never seen that message before, so just trying to get a better idea of what could cause it.

Brad

[Reycer]

It's giving me the message on every link. The link looks correct, but when you click on it, you get that message. Getting it when I click on the article link in the slider also. It's on the CMS.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you PM me a link to your site so I can look into it more? Also, are you running vBSEO? I know there were some issues with CMS articles and vBSEO because vB's URL rewrite for the articles didn't work. Its been fixed as of v4.2, but this mod hasn't been updated for that yet. If its a vBSEO issue, then I can probably direct you to file edits which will make it work.

Brad

[Recon0303]

Brad, I been messing with on and off since, and I get the same error every time no idea why. But I did it correct as I have added plenty of other mods, I love to get this to work. Anyway you can help me through this?? Sometime please?

I'm using Vbulletin 4.2.0 CMS , blog suite

http://www.divided-allegiance.com/vbulletin/forum.php

[DragonByte Tech]

I provided the following fix for Reycer earlier and he has responded that it fixed the problem, so here goes.

Ok, in the file /dbtech/vbslider/actions/widget.php, on or around line 456, find the following:

$static .='<a href="' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/content.php/'
Replace

/content.php/
with

/content.php?

Do the same for line 466 (or around that).

I'll have to see if something changed recently (perhaps the friendly URL bug in the CMS) which caused that to change. If so, it'll be fixed in the upcoming release.

new version ETA??
thx

I try to install this mod my forum final version of course...

It only displays a white image
I also tried to create coustom content and it does not display anything

I had hoped it would be out by now, but unfortunately, real life has been getting in the way a lot. :( I am still working on it, so hopefully in the next few weeks.

[steeler7]

Any chance of getting a couple options in a future release?

1. Option to allow only Threads started by specified usergroups to go in the slider?

2. Option to allow Threads with specified "Pre-Fixes" to go in the slider (so if someone has a heavy use or Prefixes they could choose to only have something like "news" go in there.

3. Option to allow certain content on Specified Forums. (Different forums have different topics so instead of something that was more "global" this would allow for you to choose which content is see specifically in that forum's slider.

In any case, #1 would be huge for me since I could eliminate my CMS and #2 and #3 would help me eliminate the blog feature and compete with other Blogs

[DragonByte Tech]

I will look into #1 and #2 for a future release, as those a good ideas. I am working on the ability to have multiple instances of the slider available for the next release, and I will see if I can make it so an instance of a slider in a particular forum will only pull content from that particular forum.

Thanks let me know.

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately, I don't see why it's not working, as it matches the URL pattern. Can you perhaps enable the slider temporarily so I can look at the links that are being displayed? Thanks.

I'm still getting /hermes/bosweb/web176/b1762/ipg.dividedallegiancecom/vbulletin/dbtech/vbslider/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

I would love to get this mod working it is what I had when I had my old forum, sadly I just can't get some of the mods to work with 4.2 CMS, regret getting it to be honest and I see others complain, I have many mods that just don't work some crash the site even, yours hasn't I just get that error.

I hear people that have 4.1.9 have been fine, so i'm a bit lost here... I love to finsh my site and get the mods working that I want to but I can't seem to. Sigh. So any help I would be great ful.

[DragonByte Tech]

Are you sure all the files are uploaded to the proper location? When I goto www.divided-allegiance.com/vbulletin/dbtech I get a 404 error, which basically means the directory doesn't exist. If that directory doesn't exist, then nothing else is going to exist either and therefore the installer won't work.

[addamroy]

No option to completely remove your branding even in the pro version?? that's unfortunate.

[DragonByte Tech]

All of the Dragonbyte Tech mods have the option of a Branding Free license, but that is a separate cost, and can be purchased for both the Pro and Lite versions of the mod.

Brad

[Recon0303]

I unstalled it as of now brad since it was causing me errors. So thats why you would get that. But when I add the XML, I get those files missing.

[UKCE_Hitman]

[Recon0303]

I will mess with it this week . I will let you know, thanks

[Recon0303]

Brad I got it working myself, and it was an error on my part, Thanks for all your help.

Last question, will this show up on the CMS as a slider and if so, how do you add it, I have it on my forums like your demo, but wondering if I can add it to my home page which is my CMS.

http://www.divided-allegiance.com/vbulletin/forum.php

Check Home and you will see what I'm talking about, I like it to show up there as well, I check some settings and did not see where I can get it to show in the CMS. Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

To install it on the CMS, you just need to go to the Layout Manager in the ACP and drag the vBSlider widget wherever you want it, just like any other widget you place.

Glad to hear you got it all working, though!

How do I get to show a image here?? Unsure where to add it etc Thanks. I tried to edit the content and there was no where to add any since it was the slider so I looked for somewhere to add an image and did not see anything.

[DragonByte Tech]

Can you PM me a test account, as the page you linked to requires me to be logged in to view. If you are pulling content from the CMS, Forum, or Blog, the image comes from the content itself. If the article, thread, etc doesn't have an image associated with it, then the default image is going to be displayed.

[Recon0303]

Dur my bad, I will make you a test account

[Recon0303]

Dur my bad, I will make you a test account

I sent you a test account through a PM any word yet?

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't have permission to view the link you posted, even with the account. But, I did look at your site and I did see a slide with no image. Looking at the page source via Firebug, it is an invalid attachment that it's trying to load (attachment.php?attachmentid=48&cid=24). You might check your database and try to get more info about attachment ID 48 and see why it isn't loading. Everything else seems to be working just fine though. The thread that links to that attachment currently has a different attachment with it, so perhaps it originally had attachment 48, but was deleted and replaced? If that attachment is still associated with the thread, that might be the problem. I'll see if I can recreate it...

Brad

[Recon0303]

there is nothing because there is nothing to add....I do not see anywhere to add anything to it, and you should have rights because all other users can, and your in that group. Maybe sign up with an account on your own.

[Recon0303]

I realized your looking at the wrong image as well. Look under Game design tab on the CMS, you can see the slider with nothing, when I went to edit , I did not see anywhere to add anything but the title. So I thought that was Odd. That first one you where looking at, I took it out and never added another yet since I been testing things to make sure they where working, I used that for the main forum slider part anyways.

Now I like to get the slider to show on the CMS, which I did but no where to add images is the issue now.

[DragonByte Tech]

You don't "add" images. They are automatically pulled from the thread, article, or blog that is being pulled from the selected sections, forums, or blog categories you have selected from the ACP. If the associated content doesn't have an image in the first post, then there isn't going to be an image in the slider for it.

[Recon0303]

Ya I understand that, which I got working for the forums, but my slider on the cms is blank. It shows the slider, but I guess i'm lost on where to add images to show up on the CMS as a slider like the forums is doing.

Unless this slider does not work on the CMS, ??? meaning looking the same as the forums, I want it to look just like the forum one, but for it to do that on the CMS, is the possible?? I figured it would be since the slider does show up, i'm just unsure where to have the images show??? Because if you look the slider is blank. I hope i'm not confusing you.

I know it would not show if there was not image lol, but as I stated I just can't find where to have it show up the same way as the forums but on the CMS the same way ...

[DragonByte Tech]

Ok, I finally found a slider on your CMS here: http://www.divided-allegiance.com/vbulletin/content.php?117-guild-wars-2

And it shows nothing. Have you gone to: ACP->DBTech vBSlider->Options->CMS Settings and selected CMS sections, forums and blog categories, as well as quantities for each of those, that you want to appear in the CMS? The forum and CMS sliders have different settings areas, so if you haven't set both, that is why you aren't seeing anything on the CMS side.

[Recon0303]

Yes, I have thats why I can see the slider on the CMS, I just can't see how where to add images You said I don't add images, but I do not see how to get them to show up, I got the slider to show on my CMS under that page, but as I stated I have no idea which I found wierd on where to add images, or have them show up since you said you don't add them.

The forums slider works perfect since it works off of the CMS, which I understand 100%, I like for it to show up the same way on the CMS which does not work at all other then it shows a blank slider..

[Recon0303]

I just got it working, sadly I just found out it is not working as I thought it did for CMS, I DO love how it works from the CMS to the forums sadly I do not like how it works for the CMS, I thought it would show like 5 images and change every few seconds which I do not see that from this hack, I still plan to use , but sadly I wish it did more.

Anyways thanks for all the help Brad.

It works the same between the Forum and CMS. When you say you thought it show 5 images and change every few seconds, are you talking about 5 images from the same article? Or is it something else that's not working the way you thought? It will only pull the first image from an article/thread/blog. If that's not what you mean, expand further on what you are wanting, as perhaps its just a setting issue.

Brad

I was hoping I could add images to my CMS like a home page since I use it as my home page with like around 5 images showing certain games and it changes between them on the CMS, I see I have to add it to like an article or blog for it to show, I have not seen how to do it any other way, which I don't really care for, like right now the same images are showing on my forum slider and the CMS. No matter what I do thats what it does, which I want different ones.

Here is an example of what I was looking for

http://www.hammerfistclan.com/

not sure what HACK that is or what. But something like that is what I'm looking for.

But I still love the forum slider part its great and my users like it as well, I just wish the Home worked the way I wanted it to.

[DragonByte Tech]

You can always add custom content items, which will allow you to insert your own pictures, text and links. Guess I didn't fully understand what you were looking for.

[New Joe]

Did you ever get it sorted for images, so it would auto re size images which are being pulled in?

[DragonByte Tech]

There is a new version, currently in closed beta, that has better options for the images. Its still not 100% perfect unfortunately, but I feel it is a big improvement over the current version. The new version adds a lot of new functionality, which to me was needed more than the image resizing. With that said, image manipulation will most likely be the next on the list.

Brad

[betts02]

I love most of your mods but i think many times we are being ripped off in to buying the Pro version for such things that would be great in the lite version

Would you consider adding the ability to grab the first image from a thread to show in the slider instead of the attachment to the lite version ?

Many thanks for the mod regardless

[hoof]

Awesome sauce with this one :) Thank you for the custom content, exactly what I needed. I modified the css with a couple tweaks to reposition the images, hope that was ok.

=/ Kind of a confusing statement there to be honest. Either you think the pro versions are ripoffs, in which case we should be removing features from the lite version and making them pro only, or you think the lite versions should get more pro features, in which case there would be no incentive for people to purchase the pro versions.

The entire idea is to have features people will like/want in the pro version to encourage them to make the purchase :).

We don't tend to move features from pro to lite, so it's extremely unlikely this will happen unfortunately.

Sorry I didn't have better news!

[iadventure]

Eta???

[DragonByte Tech]

The product will most likely go open Beta this week. As with most of our products, Beta versions are Pro only. Once it goes Gold, a lite version will be released. I figure this should be within the next couple of weeks.

Did the fix for showing soft deleted blogs ever make it into the product. I believe you gave me a fix on your website, I was just wondering if it made it into one of the real releases?

Before I update.

[DragonByte Tech]

Yes, this has been fixed in the most recent beta, currently only available as a pro product. The lite version will be released soon.

[GCC LLC]

Any way we can choose to take articles form categories rather than sections? I have a section with many categories and pulling from the parent section just doubles up whats showing on the homepage.

[DragonByte Tech]

Category selection is in the upcoming version. :D

Brad

[iadventure]

just want to confirm that you can now have the image centered instead of top down in the slider... If so I am purchasing!!
Also can you decide how high and wide the slider as a whole is?

[yjeanrenaud]

you can have the image location Left, Right or Top
and no, as far as I can see, the widget is fixed to your forums or cms settings

[iadventure]

So still no centering image in slider? I was told yes.
My large issue with this plugin is that if oyu have an image that is larger than the slider, it is justified from the top down and you cannot see what is in the photo. It needs to be center left to right and center top to bottom for it to be worth spending money on for me.
Clarify if I have it wrong please.

[DragonByte Tech]

The images below are from the vBSlider v3, currently in open beta. I need to work on getting it to gold and releasing a lite version for here, but have been working 65+hrs/week the last few weeks at my normal job, so finding time to work on this has been hard.

I know there's been updates to this Mod since the summer but am sort of unsure about exactly which features have been added and which ones are on the way. Back in the summer I had asked if a couple of features were going to make their way into this Mod :

Any chance of getting a couple options in a future release?

1. Option to allow only Threads started by specified usergroups to go in the slider?

2. Option to allow Threads with specified "Pre-Fixes" to go in the slider (so if someone has a heavy use or Prefixes they could choose to only have something like "news" go in there.

3. Option to have the vbSlider on Specified Forums. (Different forums have different topics so instead of something that was more "global" this would allow for you to choose which content is see specifically in that forum's slider.

Just curious.

Thanks!

Any update mate ?

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you try re-downloading the Lite version from DBTech as I suggested? If you told me that that also had issues, I missed that post, sorry.

Let me know :)

Is there any chance of having this NOT show threads AFTER the thread date ?

So as soon as the thread date has passed, It does not show the thread in the slider ?

Even if this is a Pro feature i would buy it, Cheers

Many thanks and i just did a repair cache and that fixed the issue of it posting from other forums

Unfortunately that's not an option at this time :(

If you'd like this implemented, could you please post it as a Feature Request in our support forum here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=126 so that it gets recorded into our system?

Thanks :)
