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();

Check out this mod:

I use it on my forums and it works great for keeping the original thread in it's place and the comments are automatically added and referenced from the thread.. and it is posted as an article.

Keep up the good work!

I tried to add this as a module as i disabled my cmps and use vbadvanced instead at my site www.brotherhoodofgamers.com

I added it as a slidermodule.php file to my modules folder for vbadvanced and enabled it and at the top of the page I get this...

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

How to add it as a module?

EDIT: FIXED IT by adding <?php to begining of file and ?> to end of it to make it real php...but now its not showing anything on my homepage...its not working.

My forum id is 6 and here is what I put...

$forumid = array(6); // Set forum IDs here.
$limit = '5'; // Limit the displayed slides
$chars = 120; // Character limit for the slide text, e.g. 100 is 100 characters limit.
$words = 20; // Word limit for the slide text, e.g. 20 is 20 words limit

is that right?

Bouncer in the php file. It already called for a open and close php. With vbadvanced isn't it possible to create a php module where you can call from a file. Use the code you posted as a template. Try that.

insstead of using attachment, can you make it so the slideshow use [img] from the threads instead?
this is a better way for those who are using shared host that has limited bandwidth since we can use free image upload site

One thing I would really love to see if this making use of the CMS articles.
Think this would be possible?

Hiya,

Just got this working in a basic form. Just wondering:

1) How do you remove the wee preview boxes on the right? So that just the main image changes on its own.

2) How do you resize the width of this?

Cheers,
Martyn

Got this working a bit better.

Couple more queries and I should be done I think. How do yo uset the text so it goes the width of the image? At the moment, it keeps performing line breaks rather than following the width of the image? See www.fiat-scotland.com for an example pic/text.

Also, is there any way to put a slightly darkened background just against the text area, to make the text more readable?

Thanks again,
Martyn

just echoing others.. Any chances that this one will be able to be utilized to show previews of CMS articles?
