actually i received 2 zips. in that email :

mod_fpslideshow_1.1.zip
18K Download
com_fpslideshow_1.1.zip
71K Download

i am using the MOD one ...maybe i should use the other one ?

When did you last download my zip? It was changed 2 or 3 days ago when that guy posted a link to the pirated version.

i redownloaded it like 30 minutes ago ? or an hour ? but maybe i used the old one again ? let me redownload ur new one once again.

Use the old one. Or if you don't have it anymore, request it. I posted an announcement at the very top. Sorry that you have to go to that, but my hack is using copyrighted code that was reproduced with permissions. But when someone is violating that copyright, I have to protect the developper and myself. vbulletin is not. And I don't want to appear as if I am approving of this.

Allright no harm done, i think i have the old one ...changing again...lets see if i can manage to finally make this work.

Let me know if you need help.

As a personal note, for months I have been wanting to have that "big guys" look. I was able to reproduce it using various free mods available, but none would have the digits navigation. Once I found that joomla hack, I was so happy with it that I just wanted to share it with the community.

Ah yes tru ! Now i see the navigation page numbers again ... I was wondering where they go ...

But see

It doesn't pull the images still ..i edited a few second posts "attached images" ...Im pretty sure it's gotta be something stupid i forgot to do...

here is the forum i use : http://www.maroceve.com/forums/forum56/

No second posts. Only first ones. You control the first ones this is why. If you were to use second or third posts, then all your members images will start displaying too. And it appears that you have permissions problems. Unregistered cannot see images

I ment first ones !

i said second since ..the first in my case is the calendar event.

And it appears that you have permissions problems. Unregistered cannot see images ( i don't)

Hmmm that's totally wierd ? i just logged off and i see the images.

I can't see the full source of your images. Are you using the filesystem?

what do you mean by filesystem ?

Are you storing images in database?

well i am not using any "particual way" to do that...i just attached the images using the the attchment method and also highslide ...

The images on my calendar event posts are just linked into my www.maroceve.com/html/ folder...

ok try to edit slideshow.php

and try

also remember to adjust the "396" in that line above that to your set width

i replaced and got this :(

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/maroceve/public_html/forums/modules/slideshow.php on line 283

please post the full line 283

$foto="<div class=\"slide\">\n<div align=\"center\" class=\"slide-inner\">\n<a href=\"/forums/showthread.php?t=".$pic['tid']."\"><img alt=\"read full article\" width=\"400\" src="/forums/attachments/".$pic['attach']

try that (make sure the folder name is attachments or change the code below with proper name)

ok you are right about the filesystem ...i was stunned not finding my attachments folder so i went to my admincp and found that !!

Type de stockage Les pièces jointes sont actuellement stockées dans la base de données

means i am using the database like u said ...

sorry about that ...should have double checked....

what do i do now

btw i really appreciate all this time ur taking to help ....

go back and undo the changes. But I doubt that you are in the databse.

ok then ?

I really want to help you but I am a little confused. You say that you are using database but your source code is not saying attachment.php. I don't know if this has to do with vbseo that you appear to be using. If so, I never used that, so I suggest you go over there for help.

Well, since i do not have any attachment folder AT ALL in the /forums dir ...where would my attachments go then ?

Ah yes i am using vbseo :( ...

fyi ; i was able to pull images into your hack from other forums...It's just that i need to get them from this particular forum "the event forums ones" ...

so i think i should have any problems .

well i am going home ..it's around 8 pm here....ill check back on the forums after diner.

Thanks a lot Lionel....Really amazing that u helped Live...i hope that after a good diner ill find a solution.

thanks again :)

Hey there Lionel, Ok so i have been thinking and finally instead of wasting my money by not using the script...

I just want to use it as a slideshow "without links to forums" ...i just want the pictures to display without the "read more" etc ...so what code should i strip from the php ?

thanks

omg. just purchased this and download....

now have no idea what to do. your instructions are written with assumptions that one knows what they are doing or what you are talking about.... which I don't cause I'm n00bified.

no readme with the script either. lost. anyone have any step-by-step instructions on how to install it...much less integrate with with vb using this hack.

what does "Upload the module in your modules folder" mean? what module?
the slideshow comes with two folders...

mod_fpslideshow_1.1.zip
com_fpslideshow_1.1.zip

the mod_fpslideshow was a folder inside the mod_fpslideshow_1.1 folder. so I uploaded that.

but which is the module to upload (specifically)? is "the module" slideshow.php or mod_fpslideshow.php or what??

what is the com_fpslideshow_1.1 folder? we don't use this at all? or any other stuff but the mod_fpslideshow folder? so confusing with ANY instructions.

seriously, can some just be specific as to how to install this?
aahhh!!

any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Upload the module in your modules folder, then from admincp install it."

how?? what ?? where ?? how??!! :/

which file is the "the module" ?? how do we install it...specifically? upload it as vbCMPS module? import it as plugin? add php module (what configurations)?

I don't understand how everyone installed it without a readme or anything... just these totally vague instructions from the first post. very frustrating . :/

then upload it?? create a php module (if so...what config? what's the identifier? etc)? is that "the module" you refer too? we dont' import / upload any kind of xml file?

again, do nothing with the com_fpslideshow_1.1 folder?

@)#$*@)#*$!!! (sorry...but honestly, gotta be the slimmest and vague instructions I've ever seen. you are making us trial and error guess at this. :()

Everything is pretty clear , you need to add a php module. In order to do this you shall know how to add modules with vbadvanced cmps.

clear? SHOW ME where it says anything close to (explicitly)...

1. Go to admincp >> vbcmps >> add module. Select "PHP file".
2. select file to include: slideshow.php

THAT's clear.

you know cause you know...not cause it says it explicitly anywhere. I only guessed it based on other people's posts. :(

- does it say what to do with the com_fpslideshow_1.1 folder? or where the mod_fpslideshow is? or to ignore the mod_fpslideshow.php and mod_fpslideshow.xml file?
- does it say "FIND: replace with your root path"

(someone had to guess at that https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=23 !! (READ: "I assuming..."))

Lionel is not required to provide this info, of course, and the hack is APPRECIATED (that's why I paid for it! and support seems good). Just saying the instructions leave a lot to be desired and not very explicit as is usual, esp. given it involves using a paid for hack as well...which is kinda frustrating for us non-programmer type n00bs.

anyway...
made it as far as making teh php module...but ended up wwith a wacky result...
no idea what to do now.

any suggestions would be great apprecaited.... (see attachement)

Do you have vbadvanced installed?
If yes then you have a problem if you don't understand "upload in your modules folder"

great mod!

yup. then I guess I have a problem...so how about helping us "module challenged" out would ya?!! lol. the problem isn't the phrase "upload to modules folder" ..its WHAT do are we supposed upload to the modules folder, ie: instead of "the module" ... I think it would have been more clear to just say "slideshow.php." (so, "upload slideshow.php to your modules folder"). I mean wouldn't hurt to be more explicit with file names and locations and such would it? and it may help. I think it was a fair suggestion.

If anything..it would save u some time having n00bs with "problems" and annoying you with stupid questions, no? note though: I even see from the thread that I actually wasn't the first who wasn't 100% sure exactly what you meant. If you disagree... oh well, you're the boss with this. And again, as I said, the hack is appreciated and cool ... I was just making a honest assertion of belief that the instructions were making more assumptions than I usually see with installs and could be more explicit.....and thus less confusing. but that's just imho. It happens...the programmer knows the stuff tooooo well.... and so its not easy to realize what is new and not obvious for n00bs (which is everything).

just for reference though, I've had vbadvanced installed forever, installed modules, and even have it looking better than most, imo, but I still found your instructions confusing. Maybe I just need coffee or maybe a couple overview sentences and few file names and locations would help... its up to you. no worries at this point as I got it now.. but maybe future n00bs might benefit.

ok that said, since I AM "vbadvanced challenged"... any ideas for this n00b as to how to fix that problem in the screenshot? would be great;y appreciated as I do think its a cool hack and feature. great job with the hack!! (just wish I could I use it!! lol).

ps. very impressed with your implemenatin on your site as well...!!

help us n00bs out!! show us the way (er..in detail if possible. :p) !!! ^^

So you have it under control?

um again... yes and no. I thought I did it right in the end... but see screenshot from previous post (few posts back).

the final result was all messed up. (one box only --other modules are gone--and all the content is overlapping in teh center column).


any ideas?

looks like you have the wrong module. Tell the seller to send you the full vbulletin module.
