Open cmsfcs.php file in packages/vbcms/widget

Find

Change to

LIMIT 0, 3

Hi, I've just installed this - and it's nice! Very sexy, in fact.

However, following your instructions in this post - I cannot locate a 5000 anywhere... I see a lot of rotation 3000's though - are they (multiple) what I need to edit?

And is there any limit on how many items I can show? I'd like to show several - as in more than 20...?

Hi,

I have installed it on this website: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/

I followed the instructions, configured the widget (selecting sections and categories), there are many articles present but the slider is not showing up. I added it in Layout manager as well and cleared cache :-/

vBulletin version is 4.1.8, thanks!

Can this be embedded outside of VB? Like on the mainpage of my forum's site?

[watty005]

will this work with vbadvanced if so, how do I use it with it?

I installed the version 1.0, and it run correctly. But after upgrading to next version 2.0, it always show as:

In an unformatted widget:
5 thumbs of the 5 articles one below the other
And below this the five articles:

full size image of 1st article
title of first article
preview description

full size image of 2nd article
title of 2nd article
preview description

...

I have tried to unistall with your instructions, but when reinstalling, the same result. probably the first time i didn't uninstall it correctly (was before you give the steps to do it).

I suposse it is something not uninstalled this first time (v1.0) which is causing the error, so please I would like if you can help me to completely uninstall this mod, to install it correctly.

Thanks!
