Rhoov's News Slider
 

Just to start out, this mod was not written by me. It was written by Rhoov from Dutch Fight Platoon. He gives his mod, as is.

He says here

I am posting this addon with the hopes that someone can take it a step farther. It is completely functioning and integrated into the vB Admincp. So, all works. I just would like to see an option to add slides from CMS Articles without having to be in the Admin CP.

But, here are the install instructions, pictures, and demo.

This can be put as a Widget on the main page. By creating a widget as stated above. Or, do similar to what I did.

Inside the vBulletin CMS template vbcms_page insert this.
Above:
The if statement only allows the slider to be shown on the main news page, and not inside the articles themselves. Edit according to how you want it to be.

DEMO

I am not an expert in this slider. I just really liked it for my forum, it looks the best and works quite well for us. I thought I would share it. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it better, let me know. I will be sure to update the files accordingly.

Thanks for sharing.

iframe bad for google

If you have a better solution, I would be willing to incorporate it. I am not the greatest coder.

I going to install in my web... it like me :D

thanks men ... for the moment, it's only tagged ;)

thanks :D

Not bad :)

Strange, I'm sure I uploaded everything correctly and made the changes to the php file but I can't see any of the options to make changes in the ACP!

Maybe try again using the Overwrite button. Install as a product. For me, it shows up in the top of the menu under Forum Options tab.

I just reinstalled it on a test board. It worked fine.

For me didn't worked, i instaled the script but when i click the setinhs menu nothing apeares, just blank

If you don't have the file in Connections/rhoov_slider_db.php match your db settings in includes/config.php it doesn't show up (It can't see your db).

Installed, I like it so far :D

Is it possible to use this slider instead? http://nivo.dev7studios.com/

Where can I translate "next" and "prev"?

I think if you edit rhoovslider/coin-slider.js

I am not at my work computer. So, let me know what happens.

That didn't appear to do anything, even after a hard refresh of my browser and clearing the cms cache.

I get this message "Table 'forum.slider_img' doesn't exist"

I think that the plugins think that the databasename is the same with the database prefix. Where do i change that ?

I am not really fit in PHP.

Could someone customize this plugin for me?
I?m looking for exactly that slider (but name must change cause of Admin CP)

This are my wished modification:

- only widget and Admin CP-Entry
- variable entrys (max. 10)
- height: 250 (for 240px banners)
- php template name must change ;)

I tried it with my knowledge... and ... believe me... it got another, smaller one.. but only one Admin Tool ;)

Hi there, is there away to set each slide to 20 secs?
Current limit: 10 secs
Thanks

sadly i get this when i do the above instruction.


im runnning the latest vb 4.1.3

www.Army-Of-Death.net

It work in vb 4.0.4 and cmps??

because it like me :)

I'm currently developing this on some high-end creative client sites. I've rewritten a lot of code and CSS to be more of a premium looking mod than it is out of the box.

I'm definitely looking to pick up this mod, with proper permission, and develop it further. This is the closest thing to what vB has lacked for so long; a full AdminCP functioning slide edit system.

Btw I'm the designer through MysticDigital http://mysticdigital.com so this is really cool with gaming sites ;-)

Look very good.
Buth waiting for a slider who grab things of my board.
Every time to go admincp and changing is to much work.

cool mod, is it possible to get this above the forum instead of cms section?

Hi, great tools, but I've a little problema, see the picture:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

The background is white, the font is different and also. Can you help me?

not work on 4.1.3 cos the mysql is wrong? please fix

For some reason it didn't connect to the forum database even though that user/pass is correct. Then I realized that my pass word contains "$" thus it was taking it as a variable. So I changed the variable from double quotes (") to single quote (') and it when through, i.e.:

$username_rhoov_slider_db = "user";
$password_rhoov_slider_db = 'pass';

For those who get table doesn't exist, just use your forum DB user and pass and don't create a new DB for it.

Hope this will help.

please do it and show us how

okay i have CMPS

how do i insert the code. <iframe src=path/to/slider/rhoovslider.php" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" height = "235" width = "100%">
</iframe>

add module
or
add page

and whats next.

Hi

I tried to place the slider in a widget, but without success.
As part of the vbcms_page it works, but i really need it as a widget:

This is the code in my static page

<iframe src=./rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" height = "235" width = "100%">
</iframe>

And this is the error i get:

Not Found

The requested URL /rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.54 Server at www.renderglobal.org Port 80


I tried several different path to the src file...but it never finds it.

Any hint would be appreciated.
Thank you for the mod, it's great btw, even though I'm probably going to change it a bit to be able to grab the images from the latest published article of a specific section.

cheers

Xavier

Fixed, it was a missing quote, sorry for the noise!

Xavier

I added a template to my style adv_portal_slider

with this code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_slider" style="$collapseobj_slider">
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow">
<!-- Custom Code Start -->
<iframe src="./rhoovslider/rhoovslide.php" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" height = "235" width = "100%">
</iframe>
<!-- Custom Code End -->
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

In cmps i added a template module

Template Module Options: slider
Use Module Wrapper Template: yes

Thank you mate, that worked. however, i must do few changes like bg color, and re-sizing. :(

My Community thanks you mate.




---------------

mate its not working i need black background. how would you do that mate?

if u have steam please add me: g2x_j0k4w1ld

I wouldn't use this one yet, it adds an extra 500Kb's to your CMS, slows your site down a lot compared to others

is there away to put this on forumhome 2?

It seems that the addon does not account for a database prefix and therefore it does not work for boards that have a database prefix.

on my test site still doesn't work, i've tried everything i knew when i in admincp on rhoov link the page is blank. I checked the mysql database and there averything is ok the tables are inserted and the info is in there. If anybody had the same problems and manage to fix it I will be grateful for the answer.

what are you doing wrong mate, it sure does work.
however, the background its white, and i need it to be black.
its on my live website, however, im the only one with the permissions to view.
i cna hel yah if u need, but i need black bgcolor :(

I paid someone to install it as I have absolutely no clue when it comes to stuff as my former web tech use to do this for me. It shows on my homepage on the bottom under the News kinda defeats the purpose of having it so any help would be appreciated as I can not get back in contact with the guy tonight as he has signed off for the night. here is a link to show where it is just scroll down to the bottom of the news page http://www.redsoxnationfans.com/content.php thanks in advance for any help


All set thank you

I get this error in admincp:

Table 'my_database.slider_img' doesn't exist
