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();

Just a noob-question: how do you enter the forum IDs in slider.php. Replace numbers inside the array with forum iDs or...? Tried a variety of solutions, but no one seems to work.

$forumid				= array(184,149); 			// Set forum IDs here.

That should be it. I don't use this one anymore, I use the other one. But that looks about right.

Hi,
Is there any way to install this on a vbadvanced module?

Thanks.

Reef Man,

Didn't test it but you can create a new php module in vbadvance and add this part of the code into it. The rest of hte instructions should be the same.

PHP Code:

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

Hi Reeve of shinra,

I am confused. I am trying to create a php module on vbadvanced, but where do I need to place the code? What file I need to include and where? any module parent?

Sorry, I am not an expert coder. Thanks in advance for your help !
