Just a quick note to that vb_Types error, that is this line:

For our board the article content type id is 18. That might be different for your board, check your database and then change it to the number like this
But that aside if you do want to use it in the cms anyway, why don't you use the php-eval content type (to have that in your content selector you need to activate html for your usergroup, yeah that is confusing)? Or create a bunch of subsections where you want to have it?

That template way is for sites not in the cms, like forumhome or external php files (files like this: http://www.united-forum.de/external/.../membermap.php - in the framework using the template system, but link leads to a php file, no slider on that example though).


edit: btw. you might want to change the variable name $output to something else in a global plugin. That might colide with $output variables vbulletin is using. Rename it everywhere to $slider_output or something.

Strange thing now happens with my slider.
In debug mode I receive this message:


The permissions in the cms permissions section are:
www.dode.dfgrom.com/permissions.JPG
The slider folder is 0777.
GD library is installed.

Any ideas?

manually opening one of your attachment links gives me an auth box - the slider will see the same and therefore cannot read that attachment.

thanks,
that was the problem :up:

I have got to that bit now also!

Did you get it working? ;o

Well in my case I had that problem due to the .htaccess on the website. I'm at the stage of making my website and I don't want anyone else to see it online till it's finished and that's why I've put the .htaccess file (you know, no one can access the website or any file on the server without entering the login and password which are configured in the .htaccess file). To check the proper functionality I removed during the test that file and everything started to work properly.

If that's not your case then I suggest looking into the cms permissions of "Can Download Attachments" for unregistered users.
Try clearing the system cache in the maintenance tab after adding an article.
Check the folder where you store the slider files and see if it's attributes are 0777.

I wish to make use of this in different areas (categories) of the site, I've followed the instructions on how to do that from the FAQ.
I made a separate folder and gave it 777 permissions - it reflected the standard logo. However, once I add the code from the FAQ for categories....

It stops working entirely and shows only a blank slate.

I'm also having this issue.

Error occurred: picture is not readable.<link>

However, when I manually open the link, the image is displayed...anyone know what the problem is?

Maybe a bug in the latest release?

Is there any way to add the text below the image in the slideshow?

Well I can see its not the .htaccess file, and I have also tried what you have suggested but I am still getting the same issue.

The attachments look like this:

Well theres lots more, but I know thats the Images code stuffs, so I might be like that...

But I have checked permissions ect, refreshed the cache ect..

DoDe did you actually get it working then? ;o
