try putting the foward slash in front of slideshow. I'm telling you though. Once I went to a older version. The forumhome worked like a charm. I than view my source code, copied the info, created a static html widget and I'm good. Now I have to edit my images better to actually fit and still look good.

http://www.djmal.net/thaspot/content.php Check here. You'll see it running on the latest build of vbulletin.

Has anyone tried this on 3.8.x and if so, does it work? Thanks. Looks like a real nice mod!

my mod for 4x, not for 3.8 :rolleyes:

this is orgasmic...

Any ideas on this?

Thanks :)

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people are saying to add this to your CMS you copy and paste the forum home page source into a static html widget. I don't know about you, but I had to really think about this before I finally realized what it was saying.

1) Load the hack as per instructions, setting it up to work on the forums and not the CMS.
2) Once you see it on your forums, view the webpage source which is usually done by going to the View menu. On IE it is Source, in Firefox it is Page Source. I'm afraid I can't say for any other browser.
3) Scroll down until you see the words "<!-- Slide Show by Keite v1.0 starts here -->"
4) Copy that all the way to "<!-- Slide Show by Keite v1.0 ands here -->". You can include these if you want but its not strictly necessary.
5) In your AdmimCP go to vBulletinCMS -> Widgets -> Create New Widget.
6) Make sure the widget is Type "Static HTML". Title should be Slideshow (but you can change this) and Description doesn't matter. Save.
7) When the list of widgets come back up, find the Slideshow widget and click Configure.
8) Where it says "Enter Static HTML" paste in the code you copied earlier. Save.
9) Now all you have to do is place the widget on your page. Go to vBulletinCMS -> Layout Manager and edit.

That's it. Note that you still have to turn the hack off on your forum and any changes you make to the hack (changing links, etc) using the vBulletin options will NOT be reflected in the CMS until you recopy the code and paste it back into the widget. Granted, you can just edit the widget HTML, but only do this if you feel comfortable doing so.

That's it. I apologize if the steps don't match vbAdvanced. I don't have it so I can't say if the steps remain exactly the same, but they should be close.

I'm working on a way to make it a bit more friendly with vbadvanced cmps modules, vs just cut and paste. I'll share info once sorted out.

Sorry, another piece of possible information are the style types, of which there are 8.

When you first load it you get "Movies" but there are more.

1) Default
2) FSD
3) JJ-Obs
4) JJ-Rasper
5) Movies
6) Sleek
7) TT
8) Uncut

The screen prints show these but it doesn't say which is which. Play around and try out each one to your own taste. Changing these are pretty easy. For forums you simply change the "Styles" portion of the options. If you have copied already to your CMS, you find the line that includes "+ '@import "slideshow/templates/Sleek/template_css.php" and change the folder to the new Style you want.

I really hope this is helping. It's stuff I found out through trial and error. But man do I like this hack!
