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();

Hi guys - I was doing some vB upgrades today, and now my slider isn't functioning properly. The error Firefox gives me is

Error: $("#featured > ul") is null

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Don't forget to edit lines 20 to 23 to fit your needs.

add a new php module --> name what ever you want too --> File to Include slidermodule.php

---> Use Module Wrapper Template up to you. enjoy

Could you make this module available at vBadvanced please?

This is a great Mod!
But... it's not quite working lol.

Apparently the one forum I want to show, won't, and these are the news oriented posts that get promoted to articles; and if I try another forum like sports, it's showing the first four articles in that category, as in from 2006. Odd.
