Let me explain, after creating the "featured CMS Content slider" widget, I came out this error in "CMS vBulletin -> Widget":

Fatal error: Class 'vBCms_Item_Widget_cmsfcs' not found in /web/htdocs/www.spqrclan.com/home/web/packages/vbcms/collection/widget.php on line 234

@Sherif: i wish to display the slider in 640x480 format. Currently the images are stretched a bit, where do I adjust the height? Just increase all the 290px code in the template?

Edit: hmm maybe 480 is a bit drastic, but is there a way to make it stretch less?

images are stretched because they are small..
by Default height is 290px and width is 500px.

If u post first image of article with height 290px and width 500px, it will come fine in slider.


Thanks

Actually all images we use are bigger than 640x480 But they look scretched because the size of the content slider is relative x 290px.

Where do I increase the height so it looks all well proportioned is my question

Hey Sherif,

Can you please inform me on how to delay the rotation of articles? It's just a bit too quick for my liking... This really is a great widget!

Thanks!
