does anyone know how I could use this to display recent videos which I created by putting embed code into static pages in sections.

what would I need to change in the code, all help appreciated

Using code below I managed to move image to the left and tried to move text to the right but it still appears underneath image instead of next to it, how do I fix this

// Set Your Section ID Here
$section = '1';
// Set The Number of Articles To Display
$limit = '5';
// Set The Height of The Thumbnail Image
$height = '100';
// Set The Width of The Thumbnail Image
$width = '150';

$articlegrab = vB::$db->query_read("
SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.nodeid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.title
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.previewimage
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.contentid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.nodeid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.parentnode
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.contentid
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.url
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.setpublish
FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo
, ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node
WHERE (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.nodeid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.nodeid)
AND (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.contentid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.contentid)
AND (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.parentnode IN ($section))
AND (".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.setpublish != 0)
ORDER BY ".TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.publishdate DESC LIMIT $limit
");

while($articleinfo = vB::$db->fetch_array($articlegrab)) {

$title = $articleinfo['title'];
$image = $articleinfo['previewimage'];
$nodeid = $articleinfo['nodeid'];
$url = $articleinfo['url'];
$fulltext = strip_bbcode($fulltext);
$text = preg_replace('/\[ATTACH\=CONFIG\]\d\d\[\/ATTACH\]/', '', $text);
$text = strip_bbcode($text);

if($text == '') $text = substr($fulltext, 0,150);

$output .= '<left>';
if($image != '') $output .= "<img src='".$image."' width='".$width."px' height='".$height."px' /><br />";

$output .= "<a href='content.php?".$nodeid."-".$url."'>".$title."</a><br /></br></right><p>".$text." </p><br />";
}

HI Guys. I'm New and I'm looking for a plugin that show the lastest article insert into a section.
I tried to use this, but it doesn't go. I want to ask where is the number of section?
I have at the moment 2 section. I must to put the number or the name of my section in "// Set Your Section ID Here $section = '28';"
I want to put this widget in my home page. And I would like to put this widget in orizontal, like it is a footer.
May you help me? Thanks a lot.

Hello Sandyss,

to find your section id go to the section and look at the url see below

How do I find my section id?
When clicking on your section you should see something like this:

http://www.domain.com/content.php?11
The number after ? in this case 11 is your section id.

Can I enter more than one section id?
Yes simply change $section = '11' to something like $section='11, 12, 13'

Hi Mark!!!
I have antoher problem because I cannot insert php code in a wdiget.
Because when I open agai the widget i see that the code isn't saved.
Why?
I cannt save php code? But I can't understand why!!!

Hello,

I am no expert so you are really asking advice from the wrong person but here goes.

When you create a widget you need to then save it and go to configure widget on the right hand side. Remove the exsisting code in the widget that is already in there when you create a new widget and just copy and paste in the new code and save that should be perfect.

HI Mark. I asked to vbullettin.com directly.
I hope to resolve the problem. This widget is important for my web site

Thaks a lot!!!v :)

Hi guys. I need help
FInally i can put php code in my widjet.
I want to know how can i do to see section article divided i three column.
In this moment i see the artcles section in row and not in column.
I attach the screenshot

Hello,

Using your layout manager where have you place the widget, I could be wrong here but it looks like you have it under the main content block instead of on the sidebar. If I am right move it to the sidebar section and see if that fixes your problem.

Hi Mark.
Exactly, I placed it under the main content, bacause I need an horizontal widget:
I nees this widget because it reas lastes artcile section.
But graphically I wolud like to be appear like this screenshot I have made with photoshop.
Take a look, please.
May you help me to create one like ths?

Sorry cant help I am not a coder so knowledge is very limited

hi there,

how to make just link and publish date appear , i don't want to have half of article and images shown in the box/. thanks

Thank you for your work, but if I want to use a horizontally widget?

Grazie. :up:

This is my code

I have 2 problems:
- links doesn't work because i have installed vbseo
- preview text doesn't appear. I see only title and date....

Anybody can help me?

I have the same problem, I used the code of the previous post, because the others don't work well, but I don't understand what is the variable that contains the preview of text, or if I do a preview function that cuts the text after a No. number of characters.

Also, how can I change the url to make it work with vbseo?

Thanks :)

Hi, i change this:
// Set The Height of The Thumbnail Image
$height = '250';
// Set The Width of The Thumbnail Image
$width = '250';
with
// Set The Height of The Thumbnail Image
$height = '50%';
// Set The Width of The Thumbnail Image
$width = '50%';
and it work fine, but with chrome don't resize verticaly, any idea?
Thanks

Hy MScotti and davide91plus.
Do you find how to work with vbseo?
Do you see the preview text in your script or only title and preview image?

Thanks

- Non ho vbseo
- Anteprima immagine e titolo
- data pubblicazione

In the code there's

$text = $articleinfo['previewtext'];

How it works?

Anybody can help us?

Something new about that?

I'd like to be able to preview the text of articles ... :(

I have another important question:

How can I take the category name over all the articles listed?

For random categories (the widget title is not a solution)

Thanks!

Sorry, I don′t get the idea as to connect this code:


With this code, please for the help.

This works for 4.1.10

Very Thanks :)
Somebody will help?

I figured out how to get the image on the left, and text on the right. It looks better if your title isn't to long.

I had this mod working fine before the upgrade to 4.1.11 and now the widgets will not show the previewtext.

It will show title, image and if set to the pagetext.

Any idea what the problem could be ?

anybody know if this would work with a Group ID, I think I'm going to give it a try but I'm running 4.2 so we shall see what happens.

It still works on 4.2 I have changed my code of how it looks. Maybe I'll post it. It helped me alot with longer titles. I just haven't figured out how to get the preview text to show on 4.2.

I was having issues with vbseo, than I just did this.

and changed it to this.

Clicking the links seemed to work. Also I am getting my preview text to work as well. There is no demo as of now, because I am still redesigning the look of my website. Sorry and I apologize.

Thanks to OcR Envy. Works in 4.2.
Just had to insert a piece of code: $fulltext=$articleinfo['pagetext'];
I have my category-ID in the URL and read the string into the widget.
Then i dont have to make a Widget for every category i use.
Greetings

Most of my articles have video instead of image, that is there is no images just youtube video, and with this widget there is no preview of youtube video [scaled] as under primary content I got now in CMS

This widget would be great if I will be able to show scaled youtube video

Thanks

Fix for VBSeo

Into FTP duplicate content.php (rename it as contents.php) and link it to the new structure

it results like

contents.php?512 => i.e. http://www.inforge.net/community/contentsp.php?518

For previewtext i'm searching for a tweak ;)

Just a question, is there anyway to have on this mod the same image for "read more" that in the rest of my sections?

Can I bring the youtube video from my other sections?

Confused??

Which code would I put in my 4.2..1 to make this work please guys?

very nice and easy to configure :)
