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();

did you crate a new page or is that the default page of vba?

Edit.. PS try upgrading to vba 4.0.1 see if that helps at all....

also looks like the welcome block is missing. if it is try adding it back.

[Jojonas]

Okay the welcome block is active but it doesn't work. And my vB license goes only to 4.0.3 :/

[DS MrSinister]

Ok do this for me remove and delete all what you did for this mod. and try use the attach file.

login to admincp --> vba CMPS --> Download/Upload Module ---> click Browse find the xml file. choose active YES select the style you want to install this on. then click Submit. after that download the slidermodule.php file thats crates in your modules folder. edit line 20 reuopload and see what happens.
