Thank you. You lead me in the right direction. Removing the padding didn't do it however switching it to the left and trial and error with the px amount as well as adjusting the left px amount for the other css id's worked. :up:

Hi Dude !

Nice work !

Is the "popular" option getting most viewed articles of all life-time? Or Is there any way to show only most viewed in the last 30 days, for instance.

Ty in advance?

yes it is getting most viewed articles of all life time
articles in last 30 days can be shown with a file edit..

Open cmsfcs.php file in packages/vbcms/widget

FInd:

cms_node.setpublish = 1

After That Add

" . iif($config['sorttype'] == 1, " cms_node.publishdate > " . (TIMENOW - (86400 * 30)) . "", "") . "

Couple of issues:

1) When I installed it and put it in the Layout for a section, every article under that section showed the slider at the top when I clicked on it. Is there a way to install the slider so that it only shows on the section page with the article previews and not when I click on the actual articles?

2) After I uninstalled it incorrectly I got that same long error as above. I ran the query you suggested and got my widget functionality back, but now when I reinstall the mod it doesn't work. No errors during installation, but when I put the widget back in the layout, nothing shows. Any help would be appreciated as I really like the mod.

Do Following things

1. Open VBulletin CMS -> Widgets

a) Delete all content slider widgets which u created.

2. Then Uninstall the mod.

3. Then Go to VBulletin CMS -> Clear CMS Cache

4. Then Download 2.1 version of this mod and install as i instructed..


That long error fix has been applied in 2.1 version.

First of all thank you! great job! I finally found what I need!
Just a quick question: how to speed up the rotation of the articles?
and can we reduce the number of items to 3 instead of 5?

To change rotation time:

Open vbcms_widget_cmsfcs_page template

Find and change according to ur need.

5000

5000 means 5 sec.


To reduce number of items to 3

Open cmsfcs.php file in packages/vbcms/widget

Find

LIMIT 0, 5

Change to

LIMIT 0, 3
