I am using this code

Try letting the slider run for 5-10minutes before giving up on the rss feed. If the rss feed works, so should the slider. It has a built in cache.

I'm pretty sure its aforum problem, not this mods problem.

As you can see, your RSS feed isn't working. If that doesn't work, then the mod won't feed content into the slider.

Maybe you should be giving this out free until you have a bug free version. You can't expect people to pay for something that is so limited and constantly being worked on. I support your idea, but I think you're being a little greedy for this project. When you design something that's worth $100+ then you can charge it. Until then I wouldn't pay more than $19.99 as is.

And if you happen to have any trouble with setting it up, we provide email support and will respond within 24 hours of receiving an email.

Please do keep in mind, most the problems people are having are within their own vBulletin setup, not the plugin.

Any questions about other things should be PM'd or emailed to one of the ForumSlider Developers.

Hey all, just giving a nice update. We've been using this on our main site: http://buypoe.com, and a bunch of others have been using it with no problems.

Errors tend to occur when you put the wrong rss feed, or an unsupported rss feed into the vboptions for forumslider.

So try multiple types of rss feeds. The one I use is:

http://buypoe.com/external.php?do=rs...s=120&count=10

so replace buypoe.com with your url.

phpbb and smf versions - we want to release, were still determining if theres enough of a demand for them.

Another common error we see with people is there images aren't being placed into the slider. You cannot used attached images, they must be bbcoded because this mod uses data from your rss feed, so whatever shows there, will be displayed.

It currently does/does not support other languages. We have not tested this.

Still doesn't work, I've tried the url as you supplied abocve, and I've tried the RSS feed directly out of my main forum, and I still get the same error.

Code:

Okay, I recently got that error, and that is usually after an upgrade.

All you have to do is, take the php code supplied with the package, and open the php widget and add it again and save.

Code:

$fsconfig = array();

$fsconfig['width'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_width];

$fsconfig['height'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_height];

$fsconfig['style'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_style];

$fsconfig['template'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_template];

$fsconfig['rss_url'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_rss_url];

$fsconfig['def_image'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_def_image];

$fsconfig['border_color'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_border_color];

$fsconfig['back_color'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_back_color];

$fsconfig['title_max_char'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_title_max_char];

$fsconfig['des_max_char'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_des_max_char];

$fsconfig['cap_height'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_cap_height];

$fsconfig['path'] = "forumslider/templates/" . $fsconfig['template'];

$fsconfig['border_size'] = vB::$vbulletin->options[fs_border_size];



include_once("forumslider/slider.php");



$output .= generateOutput($fsconfig);

So when that error occurs, just delete everything in the php widget, and re-enter it. Works.

It was not an upgrade, but a fresh install.
I've done as you said anyway, and I still have the same issue.

It doesn't display: http://mydomain.com/forums/ (my forums frontpage).

However it will display: http://mydomain.com/forums/content.php/45-combat-arms (Categories).

I can get it pulling the content correctly from the RSS without error, however it doesn't pull any of the images from the content in my RSS feeds. I just get the default default.png image on all the slides.

Running v4.1.2

So if you were to promote it to the front, make sure the image is at the top of the thread before promoting it, as the rss page does not refresh after page edits. Be sure there are no smiley faces before your image as those count as images. Also attached images don't go into RSS Feeds. use image BBcode and it works perfectly.

Running v.4.2. See http://buypoe.com for working version or other demos on forumslider.com

This mod works great for me! great job with this one...

I do however have a problem with some of the images being pulled into the slider. The text will pull in but some of the images will not. I'm my best to evaluate why some and not others. When i promote the images are there but not coming into the slider. I'm wondering if it has to do with the images being a link that was embedded vs a image attachment. Not sure just yet I'm still trying to compare. If someone has figured this out please advise.

Edit: This is the problem with some of the images not showing up in the slider. All the ones that show have been put in with a url. All the ones that do not show have been put in through the image upload. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Guys,

I had not yet removed this component from my site today, and found it to be defaced. After some research, it seems that all sites running this component have been defaced.

I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY

Buypoe.com (The developer's site) and other's using it have all been defaced.
*edited out* (which also uses Forum Slider) has also been defaced.
Nemesisguild.net another Forum Slider has also been defaced.

All three sites show a picture of David Ahmad ( of Forum-Skins.com) modified to look like he is doing something obscene.

I am not a fan of the guy or his work, but someone else seems to be very angry with him. It seems there is a long-running feud in one of his forums.

Yeap, hopefully the developer of forum slider will hop on here and tell us how this issue will be addressed especially for those of us who shelled out some serious coin for the Ultimate version of this hack.

I see that the hack is gone now as i put it back and the redirect is no longer taking over my page where the slider is.

I have a question for the knowledgable. i want to have this monitor more than one thread on my site but i do not know how to write the RSS Link to do so. I can make it monitor one thread but have not figured out how to tell it to do mor than one. Does anyone know how?

Here is what i used for one thread:

Code:

Very sorry guys. Sometime last night it was was hacked by someone from buypoe.com testing the security of forumslider. Some of the members of bp are very smart, but very immature. The person who hacked it did have deep knowledge of the software on the inside.

With some help, it's now patched. Nothing on your side that you have to fix. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience

wacnstac

03-15-2011 11:56 PM

Um, right, so exactly how secure is it now. Can you tell us what the vulnerability was?

daveaite

03-16-2011 12:42 AM

One of the guys who helped code it left a c99 shell on the server and he used it later to access the files. It was more of a "stupid" prank, than a hack

If you want to read more about it you can follow the conversation here: http://buypoe.com/general-discussion...-security.html

It is secure, to our best knowledge. Please report any and all bugs to support@forumslider.com

03-16-2011 01:23 AM

Yeah, pissed off is right. Why is anything that goes through my slider being run through your site? I don't like depending on other people's servers for this very reason. Sorry but I can't recommend anybody shelling out the money that I did for this thing while stuff has to get piped through your server to make it function.

daveaite

03-16-2011 08:15 PM

Well I was pretty pissed about it too. The reason for it running through our servers is to protect the code. Half the software code is on our servers, the other half is on your server. It's sole purpose is fight piracy/copycats

vBSEO has a similiar functionality as well to prevent illegal uses of the software. Even the lite version runs through our server as well. It is on a dedicated server so it will be up 99% of the time.
