Integration with vBulletin - News Slideshow

...................

[akulion]

the reason the coder got put there was cos i made a simple mod once and thats all

and this code is not tremendous work my dear sir, once again its a rip off

if i worked with joomla im sure i would be able to see whats on and what not....same as when u use any system - like here on vB if u ask people who have been around how to add a custom page, they will be able to tell u

but if u ask an outsider he will probably think its a huge task..

same way in joomla really - making components and mambots etc etc all have specific guidelines, all u have to do is follow the convention and add ur custom code in there

once again i didnt mean to offend u really
but i still think this guy did rip things off othr pages including dynamic drive
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm

my main point is that if this guy had coded these things from scratch and was selling them, then i would applaud him for this great work.
but the fact is he took someone elses work, and made it 'workable' with joomla, thats all. Thats why I am against it really.

anyways in the interest of preserving the peace and also not spoiling this entire thread arguing let us call it peace and go our ways - see u around

FYI I have joomla installed on my site, I paid for this hack like everyone else. I was impressed by the interaction it provided, allowing you to pick and choose which content to include in the slideshow, or to even add outside articles.

Vbulletin being my main site I decided to port it. The only difference between his and mine, mine is fully automated, where as his you must select from joomla's content, in a convenient manner.

After I ported it, I requested and was given permission by vb.org to share it here. I don't make a dime out of it and I will not allow someone to call someone I know and respect a thief.

I have tons of nice mods on my site and was getting ready to release them little by little. Really guys like you turn coders off.

i never said ur were making money off it
but that guy sure is the next bill gates lol

Any way to limit the queries on this--maybe a cache of some sort? If I display 8 articles, it adds 8 queries.

Well this is great, instead of getting some support after i payed the 20 bux, i see 2 guys arguiing.

thanks ! ...After all this maybe is a ripoff.

[akulion]

if ur wanting support for the module itself u have to ask the joomla guys

Lionel only made the add on which integrates it for vB, so dont blame him

we may be fighting but we aint enemies, just had a disagreement thats all

i have all the paths set correctly but i'm recieving this error :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /modules/slideshow.php on line 257

solution : go to slideshow.php -> edit $forumid=array(xx); -> place the id of the forum you want to pull from.
then , go to the forum you want to pull from, add an image by using html or the attachment system.
you should see the image on the cmps page(s)

side note: for those who have the ignorance and claim he is making money. what DOES or how DOES this matter?!! As we all see, he made the modifcation for the community. By claiming his is making money, you are only showing how ignorant you are rather than thanking him for time spent on making this hack then releasing it to the COMMUNITY. isn't that what matters? helping out the community?!

[akulion]

yes it does matter because this is like taking all the vB mods and then modifying them for use with IPB or PHPBB and then selling them
so the ignorance is ur own

Who is the thief? You took the guy's code, removed his copyrights and posted a pirated copy on another site and I had to remove my mod. Little moron like you don't even realize that part of my code is from his code and that I am using with permissions.

In any case, he has been alerted. You want to mess up with these Joomla guys? Watch them have your host take your server down for copyrights stealing
