Integrating WebDeveloperPlus' Featured Content Slider in vba or any other page
1 Attachment(s)
Hello All,
I have been waiting for the stand alone version of frontpage slide show to get it integrate it with vba. However the creators have been very disappointing in terms of delivering it. Hence, I have started searching for alternative and finally got one. This hack was written by webdeveloperplus and I am only giving instructions in how to integrate it to vba. However this works on any page you would like it to appear. So let the fun begin and integrate this in ONLY THREE STEPS First go to vBulleting ACP --> Style Manager --> Edit Templates Open "headinclude" and ADD the following code at the end of it Code:
<!-- Rotating Code --> Scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "Additional CSS Definitions"; which is partitioned in to two parts ADD the following code to the second partition. Code:
/* ***** Rotating Articles ***** */ Ok now we'll have to create the actual box Module Title: Rotating Articles Active: Yes Template to incluce: adv_portal_rotating_articles Style: "Pick the Style you would like to add it to" Please note if you are adding it to more than one style make sure that you do the previous two steps to all of them. Template Content: ADD the following code Code:
<div id="featured" > Then just SAVE. Then just add it to whatever page you would like it to show in vba ok now it will be working perfectly except for the pictures which needs to be changed as well as the TEXT To change the small Pictures please change the green text above To change the small picture' texts please change the dark green text above To change the larger pictures please change the orange text above To change the Larger text in the larger pictures please change the brown text above To change the smaller text in the larger pictures please change the purple text above I hope you all are familiar with the <a href="..."> as a the larger text has one to link to the thread or whatever you want as well as the smaller text has one right after it with a click-able "read more" [OPTIONAL] Forth Step (if you would like to add more rows) Please check DGF's Post by CLICKING HERE I hope this is easy to follow. ENJOY:D |

Sorry but my knowledge in CSS is very basic. I hope someone else can help you in this. |
Looks great and its free :D
will install right now on my test forums Cheers |
nice, i love it..
But i hope someone could change it to make it possible with more rows |
It would be great if this could be set to grab image, title and teaser from a predefined forum. Similar to how vba's recent_threads or news module works.

Thanks! 3.8.3 Forum Home and tested in Member Profile too with various code, downloaded images and js files per url's given so I wouldn't be using their bandwidth and just so I have them and now it's all internal - nice :D
Edit: Ohh and quick thought everyone, find the url for the arrow pointer in the code above and copy/paste into browser then you can change and make yourself a new pointer or just make one w/o donwloading the other and simply replace w/ the new url of the one you made and uploaded :D |

I will be updating those and I am in the process to convert this into a product hopefully when I am done all of this will be implemented. |
Can't wait for the product. I'm watching this.

http://www.tournamentgamingworld.com/online and I'm still working on the entire box up top but so far some image links to the tournament forums then this mod and now something on the right... still thinking ;) but seriously you can add it then replace with product later. S-MAN |
Is there any way to make this scale with a fluid style?
|
It doesn't work in my site :(
the system doesn't move the slide... |

Could anyone help tell me how to pleeeease! |
for adding to wordpress just add some of the javascript lines to header and then just add the code in index.php or home.php. It just depends on what you have . It should be very easy. There are tons of slider plugins for wordpress already though.

Hi,
i have a problem with firefox and chrome, it does not show the content slider proberly, but it does on internet explorer. on internet explorer http://i.imagehost.org/0260/Unavngivet.png http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/36cojxxf/Unavngivet.png on firefox http://i.imagehost.org/0159/Unavngivet1.png http://img5.imagebanana.com/view/2wf...navngivet1.png Whats the problem?? |
Anyone got this working?
Looks like a great option to use for a news slider, but would be great to have it automatically updated with the latest from a certain forum. |
This is awesome!! Great for my vBadvanced home page....thanks for this!! crazy-easy to install & edit....great mod.
|
Does this work on vb 4.0.X and the version of vba for this vbulletin package?
|
This is great! :up:
Got it working pretty quickly and customized it to 600px wide and now working on a little bit more of the coloring of the slideshow. But, works great! :D Working Demo Here: http://www.themysterydistrict.com/ |
Just added it to a second site :up:
Working Demo Here: http://www.FantasyLeagueForums.com Thanks for this quick and effective mod! :D |
Looks very nice. But how can we grab images and text from latest threads in a forum and get that to rotate in this Content Slider?
|
Not sure if that can be done easily, but I use the vBcover product: vBslideshow for that.
I'm using this mod just for a nice visual change to the forum homepages. :D |
is there a way to slow down the rotation?
for a workin demo- bottom of the page http://www.rhino411.com |
kjsmith84, it is probably the 5000 in the last part of the code. Change the number and see if that affects it. Make it a 7000 or a 3000 to see if that changes the speed.
Also, just noticed that your 'thumbnail' images are a little too big which is breaking the style of the tabs on the right. They should be something like 75px wide and 50 high. |

thanks I will try that- as far as the pics- yeah I noticed that- I need to resize them still ----------------- tried it- the higher the # the slower it rotates-or smaller # = faster rotation. I have it on 7000 right now. |
Work for me but i all ready have Additional CSS Definitions added for my Hearder with a fluid image and when i add the code provided it won't show up in the header???
|
OK, I need to ask a silly question please.
How do I center this on the page? I am not a css coder by any means, and while I love this, I can't get it centred, and it doesn't look great being left aligned. |
