How do you get a script to run in CMS?????
 

This is the script I would like to use:


<!-- START Worden Top Gainers and Losers Ticker Widget -->
<script src="http://widgets.freestockcharts.com/js/jquery-1.3.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://widgets.freestockcharts.com/script/WBIHorizontalTicker2.js?ver=12334" type="text/javascript"></script> <link href="http://widgets.freestockcharts.com/WidgetServer/WBITickerblue.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script>
var gainerTicker = new WBIHorizontalTicker('gainers');
var lossTicker = new WBIHorizontalTicker('losers');
gainerTicker.animate = false;
gainerTicker.animationHost = lossTicker;
gainerTicker.start();
lossTicker.alsoMove = gainerTicker;
lossTicker.start();
</script> <!-- End Scrolling Ticker Widget -->


If someone could walk me through the process I would appreciate it. New to vbulletin. Thanks.

I noticed on the default cms page (installed at time of vbulletin) that has video games the three youtube boxes on the right side are NOT working???

ACP --> vBulletin CMS --> Widgets --> Create New Widget

Widget Type: Static HTML
Title: What ever you want to call it
Description: What ever you want
Then click on Save.

On the screen you are directed to, find the new widget, and click on Configure.

In the popup box add the code you provided, then click on Save.

Now you need to add the widget to your layout.

Go to Layout Manager, choose your layout and click on Edit.
Find the widget name in the scroll container named, Widgets and highlight it, then click on the arrow to add it to your page. You can drag it to different columns if you want, then click on Save.

I did all that and it does not work...

I had a friend help me set up permissions on the forums, could that be causing an issue? Hell, I don't even see anything in the tool bar to embed a youtube video. All that shows is a link...

I just did it on my site and it showed up no problem, you may have not added it to the correct layout.

I redid it again and still a blank box. Youtube videos don't show, etc.. help...

Even default widgets are not working...

Youtube videos???? The code you posted was for a stock ticker.

Yes, all of the above is not working. The code for the widget I posted does not work, default widgets do not work - blank boxes. Even youtube videos are not working...

Is this a fresh install of vBulletin, or is this a existing install?

fresh install. I do have a custom template.

Since it is new, I would re install the site like you did from the beginning, and see if the widgets work then. I have installed the vB4 series about 100 times and have never seen the widgets not work at all.

And test everything out before you start adding mods / styles to the site to ensure it is working right first.

I have about 6 mods. No way can I reinstall this. It was a beotch since I was merging over from phpbb3. Finally got most of it up and running, except for this issue... any other suggestions?

So were the widget working at any time at all?

Don't know. First time I checked them...

I would disable you mods via the ACP and see if they work then. Also view the CMS in the default style and not a custom one.

ok thx

how do I change cms to default template?

Click on the pencil icon next to the text, The Front Page, then in the next screen look for the Style option.

I tried doing it again as you said but it doesnt show up in the side bars. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I basically just want the widget to appear in its own catagory, for instance financial. Could you walk me through this? Thanks.

Are any of the widgets working now?

I changed the style and it did not make a difference

Disabled all addons - did not make a difference

Ok, it looks like they work in IE but NOT FF... how do I get around this???

I don't know then, if none of your widgets are showing up on the default style, with all your mods disabled, then I am at a loss. :(

I see you said they work in IE but not FF, what's the site url?

<a href="http://www.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com" target="_blank">www.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com</a>

Ok I think I know what the issue is, it seems FireFox is now blocking mixed content.

Mixed Active Content is now blocked by default in Firefox 23!
What is Mixed Content?
When a user visits a page served over HTTP, their connection is open for eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. When a user visits a page served over HTTPS, their connection with the web server is authenticated and encrypted with SSL and hence safeguarded from eavesdroppers and MITM attacks.
However, if an HTTPS page includes HTTP content, the HTTP portion can be read or modified by attackers, even though the main page is served over HTTPS. When an HTTPS page has HTTP content, we call that content ?mixed?. The webpage that the user is visiting is only partially encrypted, since some of the content is retrieved unencrypted over HTTP. The Mixed Content Blocker blocks certain HTTP requests on HTTPS pages.

Thanks! Yep thats what it was!!!!

Ok, one more thing. How do I get that widget in a cms page? Basically how do I create a page, and put the widget in there? I have created the widget, not sure how to get it in a fresh page... since I will be eventually deleting the default stuff that came with the download. Thanks again!

You can solve the issue by editing the url's.

Anyone can try HTTPS with YouTube embeds today?simply change the protocol portion of the URL from http to https.

For example,
