Ahh, gives the error in the ACP. I will look into a fix. Thanks!

Brad

i am using 4.1.10 suite but i do not use cms and it give data base error please fix this..and reply me soon.

As stated above, I will look into this issue this evening. In the mean time, and especially if you aren't using the blogs as well, you can install the Forum Only product file and it will work for you.

Could you enplane a little more what has to be done in setting this part up:

Create new Custom Content

Content Link (what to add?)

Content Image URL (what to add?)

Thanks.

The content link is for if you want to link to an external page to further discuss the item you have in the content. As an example, lets say you were have an event, and you had an event page set up somewhere on your site. From the slider, you would want to link to that event page, and you would do it via that link.

The content image url is just the url to the image you want displayed for that custom content. Along the same lines as the event above, if you had a banner for the event, put the url to the banner image in that box and the banner would be displayed inside the slider.

Does that answer your questions?

Can you expand further on how it messed up your forum so we can look to improve the product? Its hard to make a product better with feedback like above but no explanation on the issues which caused the comment.

Thanks.

Content Link

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/content.php?50-Your-content-title-link

This is the URL to the blog, article etc...

Content Image URL

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=40

This is the URL to the image/picture or attachment of choice.

To everyone else if you do not have the CMS disabled.
Go ahead and install.
Great Mod this is the Ultimate Slider. :)

Great stuff man! The only slider mod I've been happy with. Nominated for MOTM!

Working great in 4.1.10 !!!!!

Thanks for this great mod....

Nominated for MOTM !!! that's good news....

Regards

Tried it on our 4.1.10 test forum. After enabling it on forumhome, the forum home simply didn't load, and would stall at loading forever. Turning it off brings things back to normal. Will keep an eye on this, but for some reason it's just not co-operating with our setup right now.

I've set it to pull 5 Contents I've set up but it will only pull into the slider 2 of them.

Also it could really do with some sort of picture re size built into it, the pictures it pulls come through way to big
This is the same when you pull them to the slider via a Thread or Article

It shouldn't causing that extreme of issues, but do you have any other jQuery mods installed? In the cases that I have seen with conflicts with other jQuery mods, the slider will still load, but nothing will show up.

If you can narrow it down in anyway, I will work to try to figure out the issue.

Each custom content type (that's what I'm assuming you are talking about) can be independently disabled, as well as independently be shown on either forumhome, the cms, or both. I'd check those, and if you still have issues, let me know.

As far as the image resizing goes, that is on the list of things to fix for a future version. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about it, considering the size of the slider can be so different between different sites.

Brad

Yes, it was just delayed in showing after I made them, all showing now thanks

Although as it's pulling the images from an outside url the quality of the pictures are really low.
Not sure why.

If it is IE 9 with Vista

Reset all settings in IE 9:



Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset

I installed it on a 4.1.3 and a 4.1.10 forum with zero issues. A very cool mod.

v1.0.6 is now available which fixes the ACP issue for the Suite when either the CMS or Blogs is disabled.

No other jQuery using mods that I'm aware of. Our mod list is quite extensive, so narrowing it down might be a little tough. I'll try the update here in the morning, see if it fixes things.

Currently they actually resize to the slider width. I am trying to determine the best way to figure out sizing for a future release.

Did you turn off loading jQuery from the General Options? If so, turn it back on and see if it starts working.

Is this on the site in your signature? If so, can you enable it so I can look at it and try to see why its not working? Thanks!

Brad I will PM you my site URL, I have enabled the mod

Great mod! *again*
[s]I'm using a modified footer and I the copyrights look like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
But when I install the slider (which works perfectly) the footer changes and it looks like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
Any way to fix that?[/s] FIXED!
And I know this probably isn't an option, but if possible, would it be okay to move the copyright to the footer instead of having it where it currently is? I don't mind having the copyrights but I just don't really like how it looks down there. lol

Have you thought anymore about adding a re-size part for the pictures it pulls into the slider?
When it pulls in pictures from the Forums/Articles they are way too big and it just doesn't look right.

Tried the new version, and still having the same problem. Regardless of if we turn off the jquery load in the mod or not, enabling on the forumhome just makes it so the forumhome is stuck in an eternal load.

*Un-Installed*
Will wait for the product to be able to re-size images it pulls in, before installing it again.

Glad you got it fixed. I had another person have the same problem with a custom theme and it had to do with duplicate naming of the div class between the slider and the theme. I plan on correcting this in the next version.

As far as the copyright, the ability to move it to the footer is part of the pro version. I will look into possibly making it part of the lite version as well.

As I mentioned before (somewhere?), I am trying to figure out the best way to resize the images to fit inside the slider. The main issue comes down to admins having the ability to size the slider how ever they want via the Stylevars. And then there is the issue with the pulling of the image from the content. If I fit the pictures to the height of the slider, then an image in a post that is, lets say 200px wide by 600px tall, is now going to look small inside of a slider that is 200px tall (the image will be about 67px wide by 200px tall), and there will be a lot of background area showing around the image (if the slider is 700px wide, almost 80% of it will be empty).

So yeah, its on the list to do, just trying to figure out what makes the most sense in how to do it.
