uninstalled!

Doesn't work on my site...
I only get your image and when I click it it drives me to my homepage.

Make sure you have RSS Feeds enabled.

Go to Settings > Options > External Data Provider > Enable RSS Syndication

Everything is already set to Yes on that page and I am able to read my rss feeds with rss readers.

Whats your website?

I also tried another rss feed with the same result:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2

Edit: Sorry! it took some time but it's working with vbulletin.com RSS feed.
For the lite (free) version I think you should let people use their own image.
I guess nobody will want to keep your image on their own site.

Well its tough to know what your doing wrong if you don't give us your url. :P Makes sure its a PHP Widget. That you place the code in the "Config"

Also, that default image - you can change. If theirs no images from the thread its pulling it will display the default image. It's included in the Lite download and changeable to anything. :)

...dont work...
...error:

failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/fslider/public_html/core/include.php on line 27

I just visited your site and it was working.

good work

installed

but they show an incoding wrong see attachment plzzz
and show only one image !!
NOT
can i translate it to Arabic and add here ???

Thanks and Yes.


The lite version shows a max of 2 at a time if thats what your asking.

Also you need to use the between your .jpg images the same way youd want any image to show. If the image shows in your thread and in your RSS feed it will work. It won't work if you add images after the RSS feed parses your threads. So before you post a thread, make sure it has the images you want.


If your a normal vBulletin user, this mod uses the same installation process as any other mod. Its fairly easy to install. :)

hi agaen

bro!!

i am Coder/Designer = i know hwo to install it , i don't ask for install

i ask for incoding , i have it like (ط?ط?ط?ظ†ط? ظٹط?ط? ط?ظ†ط?ط? ظ…ط?ط?طھ...)
is there any way to change incoding ???

where i have to use this [img ] and [/img ]

if you think in post, it is there

yo cat try it in my site
alra7ba

user : vBulletin
pass : 123456

How we can use this for vbadvanced CMS.
Regards

Extremely promising, will install right now :D

Does this work only for images as attachments? I'm not getting anything with images used from image hosting sites like image shack.

Option to remove branding $99 + $24 = $123,- ;)

I was also looking today for a working slider.
This one i like very much. :D
http://thepremiumwordpress.com/item/point-of-viuu

I tag this one in waiting.

$123 for pro? Whoa.. There are a lot of free slideshow apps that can be easily implemented in VB. The only difference between this one and the free one's would be on the free ones you would have to explain the image, description and url in an XML file, while this one simply pulls it from your RSS feed.

Not a bad plugin but no way should the ability to add more than 2 images or branding free cost $123.

THanks for the lite teaser but I will pass.

This works for images that use BB code or (image tags). Im not quite sure if attachments work, if they parse into RSS then yes. Remember it must show in your rss feed for it to show in the slider. I've used images from image shack and hosting sites and it worked perfectly.

Thats a static slider - doesn't change after you build it. In the past we developed these custom static ones but really it was lame because it would be too time consuming to update every time you wanted it to look different. ForumSlider updates automatically with no maintainance.

We have hidden discount codes around the site if you search through the blog. Also there will be more features in pro as time comes including multiple styles, size adjustments, mini navigation and other forum enhancements. It took a lot of time to develop and integrate this into vBulletin. It's not for every site, but if your trying to go big with your website, or already have lots a guests and visitors, then it's worth it.

@Dr.osamA: Sorry, however ForumSlider doesn't support the Arabic language. If you manage to modify the mod to get it working for you in Arabic, please do let me know.

@abdelali: Please stay tuned for the next release, we plan on including support for vbadvanced CMS in it.

@Juggernaut: Thanks :). Currently is just parses the XML files and looks for <img>...</img> tabs. With vBulletin using the BBCode [img] should automatically convert that into <img>...</img> when you post a topic or thread.

@iyama: That is a nice slider. I like the idea of it having a shadow behind the images.

@teamsupra: If this mod is over your price tag, feel free to develop your own and use that. Please do keep in mind that this mod is only at early stages of development and is under active development. So you can expect a lot more features in the future.

For those curious, here is a teaser on what you can expect in the next update:

• [Bug Fix] Recognising the forumslider ad as a separate slide item.
• [Feature] Title will also be a hyperlink.
• [Feature] Pause slider on mouse over.
• [Feature] Two additional templates.
• [Feature] Multiple sliders per license to one site.
• [Feature] Cleaner loading of slider content.

what if my homepage is the forum itself without CMS? will it still be effective? Also, will this plugin cause conflict with vBSEO?

It works with just vbforums4.x as well. Documentation will come soon for that. With just a forum, it requires a slight different installation.

Also it works with vBSEO.

hey, i want to dirrect link to forum not content?
how?

finally uninstalled
+100$ version pro
only 2 images in version lite
error message
a joke

Go into options > forumslider and change the RSS feed to an RSS of the forum of your choice.


For all those using ForumSlider, send me an email at support@forumslider.com or PM me and we'll consider your site up for demo at http://forumslider.com/category/demos/

instal and uninstal.

Thinking forumslider is more to geth costumers from here than support more the lite version. ;)

...me too...

Can I set which forums I want it to pull from?

This is pretty expensive btw when there is another mod thats half the price, i wont link it but here is the features ....please tell me how yours is better because I am interested and may buy it even at that price due to the other mod works but would like more features.

The other mod: (How does yours compare??)
Display threads jpg attachments (one per thread) into a slideshow from any preset forums
Fully automated.
Over 12 display modes including external Flickr feed
Supports unlimited categories, unlimited images.
Fast loading, NO QUERIES
XML driven. Search engines love that
Admincp configurable

Please keep in mind ForumSlider is a very new thing and is under constant development. Currently ForumSlider can do all the above feature (however the forums threads have to be setup as a RSS Feed before hand). Feel free to wait a week or so and check back, I am confident we will have a new update by then. Also here are some future features we want to include:

Intelligent Image Substitution - A robust system that will search an image bank (with thousands of images) and find a image which matches very closely to the content, using keyword comparison. This is only for those items in a RSS Feed which don't have images.

Flexible Slider Customization - Allows you to fully customize your slider how you wont it - without requiring you to write a single line of code. We plan on having both an online slider designer and a downloadable version programmed in either C++ or C#.

In addition, we plan on integrating a similar site wide notification system - when someone posts a new thread - a clean notification is displayed to everyone on the forum in the bottom right - similar to the New York Times. Just stay tuned, we won't let you down. :)

Pictures Updated.
