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();

Are you trying to pull the information from CMS or the forum id.

The one in the first post pulls the information from the forum id.

If you want to pull the information from the your CMS download this one.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes I'm using the forum mod, and the forum id I've chosen should be ok.

Edit: I've tried to switch to the CMS mod, and now I see a big black widget, instead of a little black widget Still empty!

Looks like you got it working.

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me troubleshoot this mod. I've modified the CSS a bit and have it just about how I want it... the problem: It's not actually "sliding". While you can't see the tabs, when I unhide them you can see there are 2 currently and clicking on the second forces a page reload (instead of an ajax event) and the layout is not correct.

As you may be able to see, the top of the 2nd image is also visible under the widget for some reason (all images have been re-sized and cropped to fix the 700x250 dimensions exactly).

I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give. My current slider.php is attached.

Edit: Nevermind... forgot that the countdown script was also including jQuery and that was apparently causing a conflict!

i wish i could get the slider to look like this:
http://www.bet.com/shows.html
that is the best slideshow i've seen thus far.


Mr Sinister, can you help me?

i'm trying to get this to work, but am having serious difficulties.

when i upload the default slider or the last slider you posted (700) the slide ends up over the 3 thumbsnails and text.

i have a 835px space, and want it to show the slide image and text on the left side and on the right side the thumbnails, but i cannot get that to work.

oh no error

[DS MrSinister]

find

$centerhtml .="<img src='".$imagepath."' alt=''/>";

replace it

$centerhtml .= "<img src='".$imagepath."' width='830px' height='320px' alt=''/>";

edit the width and height to meet your needs. hope this helps.
