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();

ditto... have been after this since the CMS came out. I think it's something that should be an integral part of todays CMS!

For example I have require_once('/var/www/xxxxxxxx/includes/class_bbcode.php');

Have done that, now getting error:

Fatal error: Class 'vBulletinHook' not found in / ... /includes/class_bbcode.php on line 2982

Anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?

Remove the edit from the bbcode and try that

Hi,

it is possible to put CMS' articles in the slide instead of forum posts?

Best Regards,

[ilvikingo]

hi can I use this for the article in CMS?

[bandare]

I have no idea why these sliders are not being made so they do work with CMS. Take www.vbcover.com - a really superb product but only works with forums and not cms. I'd buy the vbcover slider if it worked with the cms well.....

Hope it can be done.

[nicutdk]

many, many applications works just with forum not with CMS.

I bought VB4 for CMS not for forum. Unfortunately IPB at ~ the same money offers much more.

Awesome i like the idea
only problem ive found is that my images are WAY to big for the sliders box

[basilrath]

I agree ....... tried it but images big ........

Its time until a slider pulls from threads etc and cms
