Based on the Nivo Slider - all credit for slider awesomeness goes to them.
vB4 implementation goes to me.


What it is:
A slider for cms articles, it gets the articles via database, uses (if possible) the previewimage there and resizes it to slider size *update 1.1.0 cropping function included.

Livedemo on a Big Board (>2.000.000 posts)
the nivo slider on our site is customized to fit our heavily customized cms. Default look of this addon is shown in the picture below

Installation
  • upload all files (attached zip file) in the folder where you do need them - this has to be the same folder you will set via $slider_img_filepath (see picture)


  • create a new php-widget and insert the following code:
    Code:
    // DEBUG MODUS !
    $debug_modus = false;
    
    if($debug_modus === false)
    {
    	ob_start();
    }
    
    //nivo slider - uf - vb.org version
    //set these values as you need them:
    
    //your slider folder - has to be read and writeable
    //folder where all slider files are saved
    $slider_img_filepath = 'external/unitedforum/slider/';   
    
    //picture width and height !same as in the CSS FILE!
    $maxwidth = 650;                                  
    $maxheight = 250;    
    
    //do you want images without previewimage to be shown? slider is using the fallback then
    $show_articles_without_image = false;           
    
    //picture shown if your articles has no previewpicture
    $fallback_img = $slider_img_filepath . 'uf_fallback_slider.png';  
    
    //hardcoded maximum is 20 - if you want more just ask
    $number_of_articles_shown = 10;                                
                
    //lengh in characters of the article descriptions
    $description_length = 95;
    
    //stretch picture or crop them? false = strechting (default) true = cropping (beta)
    $crop = false;

  • set refresh time to something big!
  • save - add the widget to your layout - enjoy


Custom settings:

At the top of the php-widget code you can see the following:
Code:
// DEBUG MODUS !
$debug_modus = false;

if($debug_modus === false)
{
	ob_start();
}

//nivo slider - uf - vb.org version
//set these values as you need them:

//your slider folder - has to be read and writeable
//folder where all slider files are saved
$slider_img_filepath = 'external/unitedforum/slider/';   

//picture width and height !same as in the CSS FILE!
$maxwidth = 650;                                  
$maxheight = 250;    

//do you want images without previewimage to be shown? slider is using the fallback then
$show_articles_without_image = false;           

//picture shown if your articles has no previewpicture
$fallback_img = $slider_img_filepath . 'uf_fallback_slider.png';  

//hardcoded maximum is 20 - if you want more just ask
$number_of_articles_shown = 5;                                
            
//lengh in characters of the article descriptions
$description_length = 95;
If you change $maxwidth and $maxheight you need to edit the nivo-slider_uf_theme.css file, here:
Code:
.theme-uf #slider {
    margin:0px auto 0 auto;
    width:650px; /* Make sure your images are the same size */
    height:250px; /* Make sure your images are the same size */
}
Width and height have to be the same value in your php-widget and in the css file.

In additon to these settings i also included a "value/relevance function". Meaning the slider doesn't show your latest 5 articles, but instead weights them based on age and comments.

As older an article is the less likely it will show up in the slider.
More comments make it more likely.

This behaviour can be easily changed. I didn't include an if condition cause every board has different needs and i don't know whats best for you.
In addition conditions like "articles just from this section - or these sections, or this category, with a minimum of 10 posts" can be included via one single if condition. Again, i don't know what your board needs or what your category names are.

You can also modify the preview length (more words, less words), the preview style (color fontsize, fontweight .... Again different forums different needs. It's highly customizable.
Support:

Support and requests for the slider itself should be asked here http://nivo.dev7studios.com/
Same goes for different slider themes - a lot is possible, even thumbnails - again this is part of the nivo slider and not the vb4 implementation.

If you have any questions regarding the settings - or want different settings (which have to do with vb4) - ask, and i'll try to come up with some code // show you where you have to put what.


Slider not working. No idea why?

You will find a FAQ in the first comment, which will be kept up to date:

Good day,

I have a strange problem that reading all the post and the FAQ I couldn't find n answer. I couldn't get the images to display, my articles where using attachments, I changed the image from attachment to a fixed image via an IMG tag and the image finally showed up. But not, when I select the READ MORE, it points to the wrong link?

The article resides at http://www.mywebsite.com/forums//con...hp?articlename
however the read more link points to :
www.mywebsite.com/content.php?articlename?

Also I would want to change "value/relevance function" to pick up the last 10 articles posted regardless of comments.

Great mod and thank-you for all the support you have been providing.

Is there anyway to make it auto resize to fit when I shrink the browser? Thanks!

First, I would like to say thank you for such a fantastic mod.

Second, I was wondering if it is possible to select a specific article (a welcome article) to display first in the rotation and then allow the rest of the articles to be pulled dynamically?

I looked at the FAQs but I didn't see anything quite like this. Thank you for your assistance.

Just worth mentioning the codeline
PHP Code:
$article_neu['picture'] = '<a href="/content.php?r=' . $article['nodeid'] . '-' . $article['url'] . '"><img src="'.$article['previewimage'].'" alt="" title="#htmlcaption'. $article['nodeid'] . '" /></a>';
youl probably have to drop the r= out for direct links to be achieved correctly

The only thing I can get is the fallback image. I have set the folder to 777 read/write, but nothing no matter what I do I get no image from the articles.

Try with this code:

Code:
//nivo slider - uf - vb.org version
//set these values as you need them:

//your slider folder - has to be read and writeable
//folder where all slider files are saved
$slider_img_filepath = 'external/unitedforum/slider/';   

//picture width and height !same as in the CSS FILE!
$maxwidth = 650;                                  
$maxheight = 250;    

//do you want images without previewimage to be shown? slider is using the fallback then
$show_articles_without_image = false;           

//picture shown if your articles has no previewpicture
$fallback_img = $slider_img_filepath . 'uf_fallback_slider.png';  

//hardcoded maximum is 20 - if you want more just ask
$number_of_articles_shown = 10;                                
            
//lengh in characters of the article descriptions
$description_length = 95;

//stretch picture or crop them? false = strechting (default) true = cropping (beta)
$crop = false;

Figured out that it is my hosting company. I had to rewrite my php.ini file and make a php5.ini. Allowing URL_fopen. So far still hasn't worked though. I'm about to give up on this hosting company and go with another. argh.
