Hi,
we have some problems with this addon.

We uploaded the files, install the "product-cms_fcs_widget" and cached the cms.
When we add a widget we didnt have the choise to select "CMS featured Content slider".

Did someone have the same problem?

you need to click on clear cms cache in VBulletin->CMS

even after doing above step, you don't get option to select "CMS featured Content slider"

Then Do Following Things ->

1. Go To -> Phrase Manager -> Add New Phrase

Phrase Type: CMS Widget Types
Product: CMS Featured Content SLider Widget
varname: widgettype_vbcms_cmsfcs
Text: CMS Featured Content Slider

And Save it

2. Then Click on clear cms cache in VBulletin->CMS

Hello! Awesome mod, easy to install! Just wanted to know, is there anyway to get the widget to display in the center of the page as opposed to the left side? Also, is there a way to keep the order of the articles a certain way? Thanks!

Uploaded files, installed product, cleared CMS cache. But no 'CMS featured Content slider' in list when creating new widget. Please advise.

Hi Sherif,
thank you for your answer.

I try to add the phrase a saw, that the german translation is not there.
Attachment 132426

Ich fill out the german translation and the field is checked now.
After that I clear the cache (VBulletin->CMS) but the result are the same. No option to select the choise.

I try to install this mod on another board with the same result. Both boards have only installed the german language.

Edit:
I saw Taurus1 have a german board too or have install the german language. May the addon have a problem with us germans

[Taurus1]

I forgot to mention that I also already tried to add the phrase manually as you suggest in post #83, but it states it already exists. I cleared CMS cache again. But it is still not showing up.

But i don't think it has anything to do with language..

this problem comes if phrase is not present or mod is not installed properly.

Uninstall the mod. then clear the cms cache.

then install the mod and clear the cms cache..

Uninstalled. Cleared cache. Re-installed. Cleared cache. Still nothing.
