Change to

Of course change the color to your coice.

Thanks alot for yor response but I tried that, and it didn't change the color of the font. I could change the font size and style, but not the color using your method.

However, by accident I found that (in mod_fpslideshow.php) changing:

$show_title = 1 // Show the slide title?
$show_introtext = 1; // Show the slide text?
$show_readmore = 1; // Show the slide 'read more' link?

to

$show_title = 0 // Show the slide title?
$show_introtext = 0; // Show the slide text?
$show_readmore = 1; // Show the slide 'read more' link?

Made the Font turn white. I was actually trying to turn off the news title and instead it made the font turn white. Call it a fluke or glitch, but I'm happy. Thanks for your help.

Glad to hear you got it working.

Erm what do you mean by upload the module & install it? There is no product to import? I'm confused and I have a client that has purchased this script and I need to install it on his vb forum. So if there is a link for the product to import or a little bit more clear how to on where to install that would be great.

1. Upload the entire mod_fpslideshow folder to the root of your board (ex : /board/mod_fpslidehow/

2. now, open the mod_fpslideshow.php file

a. change the path to >>>> '/board/' or leave blank if your forum is located in the root.
b. add the forum ids you will be using ex: (119,80,22)
make sure you already have test threads created in these forums prior to adding this to your modules folder with thumbnails already attached to those threads and allowing guest downloading access via the admincp forum permissions.

b. find in mod_fpslideshow.php

$use_mootools 	= 1;

and change the "1" to 0; 

or you will get java errors and the slide will not work

3. Upload the mod_fpslideshow.php to your board/modules folder via ftp.

now, in your admincp cmps
>>modules >> add module >> php file
add the mod_fpslideshow.php

title = news
1. identifier = fpslideshow
2. clean file output? = yes
3. use module wrapper? = no

save, then activate the file on your cmps.

I hope that clears up the confusion MP.

Thanks, this is supposed to be used only with the vbadvanced CMPS system? If so do you know if there is something that would just put this on the front of a regular forum without the portal option?

Erm, I'm sure it could be used with any CMPS, but I haven't tried it so...not quite sure. I don't know of anything that would place this on a non portal page. Sorry.

What you could do is just install the CMPS on the forum itself and display just this module, but I take no responsibility if you choose to do so. lol.

Ok I'll let me client know and see what we can do. Thanks

Getting errors above the slideshow....and the latest posts are not showing in it. It just shows one old thread and never scrolls....

Warning: fopen(/var/www/forums/clientscript/mod_fpslideshow/mod_fpslideshow.js) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /modules/slideshow.php on line 193

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /modules/slideshow.php on line 194

OK I have questions about this step here. 1) there is no path to modify in the file & 2 there is no place to put forum ids. I need you to be more specific like what is the code for this?



EDIT: Found these things in the slideshow.php file that is for download here.


EDIT 2: Ok this did not work I need specific instructions for install. There are 2 different files you say to modify stuff ina file that is not in that file and its in the attached file for this module instead. I need to know exactly how to get this to work in CMPS.
