run this

Code:

DELETE FROM cms_widget where widgettypeid = 25

You Are Getting This Error
Because you Uninstall the mod before deleting old widgets..

In New Version 2.1 i have applied fix for it..

Glad to know that..

Actually this mod has new coding which no other mod in vbulletin.org has.. generally widgets of cms are not uninstalled, but when u uninstall this mod then Content Slider widget is uninstalled..

in 1.0 and 2.0, there was no uninstall code to delete content slider widgets which were created by user..

But in 2.1, i have applied the fix which delete all content slider widgets when mod is uninstall.

Thanks

I have this installed and it's great but I would really appreciate a way to select specific articles to be shown for. Couple of reasons.

I have a few articles that I'd like to show but they are not specifically the latest or the most popular, and I have some articles with really long titles that don't show properly in the caption so want to avoid adding these to the slider.

Is this something you'd be willing/able to do?

I'd appreciate it. Jade

See

if you want some specific articles to display for u, then u can make a new category and add those articles in that category..

and then make a content slider widget and select that category only..

so this will fetch only selected articles which u want..

About length of title i have not added any function yet, but

if u want to trim the title..

Open cmsfcs.php file in packages/vbcms/widget

Find

PHP Code:


			
fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($getarticles['preview'], false, true, true, true),

            100)));

Add After it

PHP Code:


			
$getarticles['title'] = fetch_trimmed_title($getarticles['title'], 30);

Great thanks I've managed to get the articles I want to show, to show. I've trimmed the title but is there anyway of trimming the text under Neath the title too? My box is quite small you see

You need to create CMS Featured Content slider widget in Vbulletin CMS -> Widgets -> Create New Widget

Then After creating widget go to

Vbulletin CMS -> Widgets

Find The widget which u created and click on configure at right side.. you will get that page..
Configure it.

To show that widget in page, you can add that widget in Vbulletin CMS -> Layout Manager

Changed that 100 to something lower (as u like)..

100 means 100 character will show..
