This is great! I'm about to buy the script now. Thanks for sharing. Do you by any chance have any integration with their video player going?

I have some really nice integration with their video player (but you need to be registered to see the full scoop and it also requires joomla to be installed).

I also just finished a standalone movie database, getting info from IMDB into forums with images etc..., using threadprefixes for genres, but I am not sure if I can release it here.

if you can release it i'll obey you master!!!

Let me wet your beak :p

I suggest you contact Marco. If he says yes, I will.

The way it work, you have a search page. You type in the name of the movie, the search result gives you a list (one or more) of the similar titles. You click on that title, it displays all the info for that movie. You like it, then you click on "Add Movie" and it creates the thread for you automatically using the data manager.

Here is my entry point, page is a little slow because I am temporary fetching info from France. (forum is password protected). I am basically done for most people. But since the movies produced in my country do not all find their way to IMDB, I still have to do a manual entry interface for those.

XML Error: junk after document element at Line 198

any ideas

I also see that you integrated this with GARS which makes takes me into the project more and more :) I also purchased the script and will wait information from you about the movie database :)

don't know why you are getting this error, you have not installed it!! And there are no xml!!!

BTW, I am not affiliated with the guy... I know him from a long time from Joomla.

Even if you do i don't mind about it :)

Lionel can you give me a clue if you are going to release https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...5&d=1171612786 this one ? beucase as i said i believe this is integrated with GARS and i was looking for this really long long time :)

I need to do a small thing with Gars (automatically create and insert movie image as header image)

hummm you solved your open based directory thing? I don't see the post anymore

you also need to let unregistered see attachments

I think I know your problem, I store images as attachment in database you don't. Simply change the image <img src to reflect that

can we use this mod for vBonjour or are you planning to integrate this with vBonjour?

I never used vBonjour.

I was never been able to see the example, so I stayed with vbadvanced with which I am extremely comfortable.

Yep i missed the needed edit at the bottom of the page and corrected the problem with attachments by allowing guests to download attchements. Perfect mod Lionel

Really can't wait to try this and the other work you are doing with the IMDB has me hooked!!! I've ordered the script and still waiting for it but looking forward to getting this up and running soon.

Thank you so much for such promising integration with vBA and GARS.

After a while you'll get used on how to create images so they show nicely in IE.
Since your images are more in width, I would suggest adjusting the $maxchars so it takes less space and display more image. Also play with the css for title.

I did'nt mark it as installed because I could'nt get it to work I tryed uploading the xml file and thats the error I got.

I mean't php sorry but the error is the same could you see if there is anything that I could do to fix it you hack looks 1st class

You need to upload php via FTP

Okay, I purchased the addon and already received it via email. I unzipped it renamed the folder to mod_fpslideshow in order to match the directions and the path within slideshow.php. I uploaded the folder to my clientscript folder and chmod all .js files to 777. Next, I edited the slideshow.php file and only applied one forum number (110). I changed all the /forums path to /vb and I'm assuming here:

I would change that to the direct path to the mod_fpslideshow.js file -- like this:

I uploaded 4 images to my new forum, and then created a php module within the vbacmps following the directions and activated the module, but for some reason I'm getting the following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /modules/slideshow.php on line 257

The mod is also not playing nice with my skin/theme. It's throwing the header bar underneath the mod and nothing is aligning.

Did I miss something?

Here's a screenshot of the error - you can see here that it's not playing nice with my skin/theme either.

If this module isn't working good with your style then you probably have a bug in your style.

did you also change the forums path in scripts ?
Also please check the following
You shall not have a comma if you only have one forum

Well, I know there's no problem with the style I'm using because every other mod I've installed works fine...

Which scripts? I've searched all 4 .js files and the .css file and didn't see any paths to change.

[/quote]
Yea, I checked that and confirmed that there are no commas after the single forum number.

Note, I figured out a portion of my problem(s). For one, after unzipping the addon, it created a folder mod_fpslideshow_1.1 Folder, and within that folder is another folder: mod_fpslideshow. What I did was renamed the mod_fpslideshow_1.1 Folder to mod_fpslideshow and copied that folder into the clientscript directory. The final path ended up being /clientscript/mod_fpslideshow/mod_fpslideshow/

Once I figured out my blunder, I deleted the folders and just uploaded the sub-folder: mod_fpslideshow into the clientscript directory --- so now part of my problem was fixed, but I still had the Warning Error.

It turns out, this mod only works with ATTACHMENTS. I have the Geek Gallery Popup 4.00 and highslide mod(s) installed, so when I created the new forum, and applied images - I applied images using Geek Gallery Popup.

I re-applied an image as an attachment, and now the images work (sorta) along with the addon. Since my style is not fixed, the module resizes with the browser, so I need to figure out how to apply a 100% width w/out making it stretch outside the normal middle column boundaries.

And, the modules title bar is still displaying under the addon.

You can view the site here: http://www.neosmut.com the module is at the bottom (center)

This mod rotates attachments for specific forums that you set.

Your page looks fine, so I gather you fix it. Also make sure that the vbadvanced module is not using any container. It's not using any title bar.

Use Module Shell Template: NO

If I wanted to apply a title bar and encase the entire mod within a template, I should be able to just create a template to include the title bar background etc... correct?

The whole idea of the css <div> is to keep it free from tables. If you want to try, try it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I would go about doing this? I've been playing around with it for about an hour, and tried a few things like using the following line of code, which is found in other modules... eval('$home["$mods[modid]"][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_slideshow') . '";'); and then I created a template (adv_portal_slideshow) using the code below.

I also tried using creating the block manually using the following table code...

The problem I see is that the variables are not declared anywhere, so the code doesn't know what to do? I'm no programmer (by a long shot), but I've been able to figure out little things here and there... Thanks in advance for the help.

Just put the content in slideshow.php in table row and use the shell in VBA.

<tr><td> generated content</td></tr>

I have another problem - cant get the navigation menu to display.

I fixed the menue issue by inserting more rows - check the syntax of my page if you have similar issue: http://www.avto1.com

:D Something as easy as that - thanks! I added a few more table rows, a <br /> here and there and a few class"alt1" and "alt2" ... I'm good to go!!! Thank you for your help.

... now to start filling in content.

Hi Lionel

Off topic, but you started it ;)

Your IMDB mod, i see you got it integrated in to GARS, I am currently using GARS to post NZB's, I would like to post an NZB and also post the movie info from imdb using your mod on the same post, would that be possible?

What is NZB?

I don't think I'll be releasing that mod anyway. It's done, packed, but I believe I read somewhere that it was not allowed.

thats a shame, looks nice, an nzb is a newsgroup binary file, it would be just the same as uploading and file really, but i would have liked to have it where i upload the file then choose to include the page from IMDB also...

Lionel while i was thinking today i also thought it would be awesome if we can get slideshow working as a GARS module also :)
Do you think it is possible ?

Man.... you are some wizard !!!

How did you integrate your vbulletin forum with Joomla?

Waiting for your reply... walking to and fro....

I am not sure I understand your question. You mean to display the slideshow in forumdisplay or showthread?

That module, even though it's a Joomla module, is totally independent from joomla, meaning you don't need to have Joomla to make it work.

Yes, my site is tightly integrated with Joomla. The two breath together. And thanks to that, I can integrate any md5 based script with Vbulletin, via Joomla.

I have tons of nice integrations on my site, but I can't release them because they are dependents of various other hacks.

Yep display the slideshow in Gars powered forumdisplay pages.
