Never mind, I found the issue and fixed it!

For those on 4.2.2 that are also getting this error message, here is the fix:

Error:

Warning: Declaration of vBCms_Widget_cmsfcs::getHash() should be compatible with vBCms_Widget::getHash($widgetid = false, $nodeid = false) in ..../packages/vbcms/widget/cmsfcs.php on line 338

Open up that cmsfcs.php file, and scroll to the bottom. A few lines up, you should see

protected function getHash($widgetid)

Change that line to read:

protected function getHash($widgetid = false, $nodeid = false)

Voila!

Thanks for the slider.

A few questions, couldn't find any mention of them in the replys

Is it possible set popular to be for the last 30 days?

Not sure why but its showing code (example: "<center></center>") in the description part of the slider, is it possible to hide html code from the description?

Also my articles that are queued to be posted show up in the slider before their scheduled to be published?

Thanks for any help.

Has anyone had luck getting this to work with vBulletin 4.2.2? I get a message like this:

Warning: Declaration of vBCms_Widget_cmsfcs::getHash() should be compatible with that of vBCms_Widget::getHash() in ..../packages/vbcms/widget/cmsfcs.php on line 0

and Configure The Widget in VBulletin CMS -> widgets
I click on the Configure does not appear Configuring Widgets

I have the same question. Does anyone know how to make the slider only appear on the front page? Right now it's displaying in the articles and it looks bad.

Another issue...

It's showing my 2 articles but it's not sliding...at all....anyone know how to fix?

Create a different grid for your sectional pages, and can be varied for different sub sections
