vBulletin CMS Widgets - [WIDGET] Slider

Widget Slider - Frontpage Slide Show.

Demo: http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/fea...ontent-slider/

This is based on the demo above. OK this is my first mod and I know the coding really sucks! But I thought I would get this out and see if anyone want to improve on it.
This is one of those frontpage slide shows that pulls your attachment and data from specified forums.

I hope this works for you.

Install:

Edit slider.php and at line 100:

$forumid - set the forum to pull slides
$limit - set the number of posts
$chars - set the total number of characters
$words - set total number of words

Upload Files.

Create PHP Widget and inser the following code:

ob_start();
echo '<div>';
echo '<center>';
require_once './clientscript/slider/slider.php';
echo '</center>';
echo '</div>';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Do we have to make the images a specific size, or should it properly be resizing them ?

First off thanks to the author for this great mod! I installed this on our site with a little tweak to make it work with CMS articles. You can see an example here - http://sportsgamingcentral.com/forum/content.php

Upload the attached file to your clientscripts/slider folder. Just add the section ids to the file before uploading it. Then use this for the widget code. Hope this helps.

ob_start();
require_once './clientscript/slider/recent_section_articles.php';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

There is one suggestion I would like to make here. Instead of putting the init variables directly in the slider.php you can set them at the time of setting up the widget. This way you could use different widgets to act as sliders for different forums. I plan to make changes to the CMS article file for a similar use on our forums.
