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();

To hide the tabs...

Add this to the css encoding:

PHP Code:

#featured .ui-tabs-hide{
    display:none;
}

Hey ya'll...

Thanks to EVERYONE helping out with this... I currently have someone interested in porting this into a REAL plugin so stay tuned...

I am getting ready to retire from the U.S. Military and have a lot going on... I knew this was coming which is why I threw all my half-baked attempts at something cool up on vb.org and marked them unsupported / reuseable...

For those struggling with this, I appoligize and wish I was better at meeting all the different situations everyone might face....

[murekhalir]

this is going to be SEXYLICIOUS.

You have my support.

Thanks Cory, I have a little while before I can say retire from the military. But this mod hasn't gave me any problems from the start. Still working for me.

could you explan that please? i have no idea how to implement the cms articles..

[Reef Man]

LEt me explain you what I need to do to make it work.

For this moment, it can not recall articles, just threats from forums.
I had 2 problems:
1.-I bought the suite from Vb, but every time I publish an article, it creates a threat on a selected forum and all the comments goes over that threats. As that is not good on the way I use my my site and I was using VBadvanced before, I need something that solve that problem.
2.-After install it and selected 3 different forums, I saw that only calls messages with attachments, so I need to convert all as attachments to make it work.

Then, with this problems, I created an specific forum where all the message I want to show on the slider will be.
I am permissions on this forum, just to the moderators to publish new threats and all the members cann´t, but all the members can answer there, so with this, I solve all my problems about the comments on the CMS.

Then, I just program to select topics on that forum. All the threats now are with the pictures as attachments, and with the correct size. Now, in that forum I am publishing, the Tanks of the month, the Histories or news about the hobby, and all the contests. The real articles, are on the CMS and that´s it.
