One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people are saying to add this to your CMS you copy and paste the forum home page source into a static html widget. I don't know about you, but I had to really think about this before I finally realized what it was saying.
1) Load the hack as per instructions, setting it up to work on the forums and not the CMS.
2) Once you see it on your forums, view the webpage source which is usually done by going to the View menu. On IE it is Source, in Firefox it is Page Source. I'm afraid I can't say for any other browser.
3) Scroll down until you see the words "<!-- Slide Show by Keite v1.0 starts here -->"
4) Copy that all the way to "<!-- Slide Show by Keite v1.0 ands here -->". You can include these if you want but its not strictly necessary.
5) In your AdmimCP go to vBulletinCMS -> Widgets -> Create New Widget.
6) Make sure the widget is Type "Static HTML". Title should be Slideshow (but you can change this) and Description doesn't matter. Save.
7) When the list of widgets come back up, find the Slideshow widget and click Configure.
8) Where it says "Enter Static HTML" paste in the code you copied earlier. Save.
9) Now all you have to do is place the widget on your page. Go to vBulletinCMS -> Layout Manager and edit.
That's it. Note that you still have to turn the hack off on your forum and any changes you make to the hack (changing links, etc) using the vBulletin options will NOT be reflected in the CMS until you recopy the code and paste it back into the widget. Granted, you can just edit the widget HTML, but only do this if you feel comfortable doing so.
That's it. I apologize if the steps don't match vbAdvanced. I don't have it so I can't say if the steps remain exactly the same, but they should be close.
