Can you Pre-Define Order Of News Shown With News Slideshow?

I have the News Slideshow modification on my site and was wondering if there was a way to organize the news stories so you can define which news stories show up first? Right now they just display in the order they were posted.

If you have questions/problems with a modification, then please post in the thread (or support forum/board) about that modification. Best chance to receive a reply from either the author or another member using the same modification.

I would if it wasn't in the Modification Graveyard.

The author removed it from vBulletin.org. I guess that means you will need to get support from whatever site he is releasing his work on now.

He stopped supporting it a long time ago, it became a member-supported mod. Anyway, I found the solution in case anyone wants it.

You'll need to install this modification: vb_Cement

Then if you have the joombla slideshow, open the "mod_fpslideshow.php" file. Search for "sticky" (only one instance in the entire file) and replace with "threadweight".

Old line of code:

Quote:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by sticky DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");

New line of code:

Quote:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by threadweight DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");

Now use the vb_Cement modification to arrange your sticky news items in the forum you are pulling the news from. Enjoy!
