Excellent vb4 mod!

I'm not the best php coder so I would like to ask you:

Is there a possibility to add a static slide independently from the last articles?

Example:
Slide 1 - 3 ... the last articles from the cms
Slide 4 ... a static one, per example an advertisement for the vbulletin iphone app, linked to an external website (like itunes store)

Is there a easy way to realize something like this?

@Mooff

Hey Mooff, is there anyway to make this thing work without fopen please? then if you could please post detailed instructions?
One of our sites was recently compromised by a exploit (JA Agent), and we have spent weeks repairing things and switching servers. So a bit hesitant to allow_url_fopen On. Even the new server host said I could try adding this code php_value allow_url_fopen On to the .htaccess, I am still a bit hesitant in doing so.

Also Mooff, Its giving me some issues, all I get is the fallback image, and also it doesn't update newly chosen articles anymore. I am not sure what the problem is, I have fopen from the .htaccess file. I here is the debug

here's a link to my the forum

Installed buth only see the uf_fallback_slider.png with the articel txt.

Also same problem here. We need Mooff. :(

Paths are incorrect

i had same issue

path is correct here, and stil noo images.

Did you read this and have you tried it?

Hello, I currently have a poor image sliderat the top of my page

But love the way this is supposed to look,
unfortunately I am no expert but believe I followed the instructions correctly.

At the bottom of my site you will see the slider
http://www.xboxplayers.co.uk/site/content.php

Below is the first part of the code and the revised path was copied directly from my cpanel file manager and pasted in.

Both widget and css file have the same image sizes.

I changed the image path if no image found to true but no fallback image has appeared.

Really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance


// DEBUG MODUS !
$debug_modus = false;

if($debug_modus === false)
{
ob_start();
}

//nivo slider - uf - vb.org version
//set these values as you need them:

//your slider folder - has to be read and writeable
//folder where all slider files are saved
$slider_img_filepath = '/public_html/site/Slider';

//picture width and height !same as in the CSS FILE!
$maxwidth = 650;
$maxheight = 250;

//do you want images without previewimage to be shown? slider is using the fallback then
$show_articles_without_image = true;

//picture shown if your articles has no previewpicture
$fallback_img = $slider_img_filepath . 'uf_fallback_slider.png';

//hardcoded maximum is 20 - if you want more just ask
$number_of_articles_shown = 10;

nope still not working, only see fallback and old articles text. ever since the 418 upgrade this has never been working the same. now in 410 its fully broken.

where is mooff?
