About Developer · **Released**: 07-30-2009

Hello All,

I have been waiting for the stand alone version of frontpage slide show to get it integrate it with vba. However the creators have been very disappointing in terms of delivering it. Hence, I have started searching for alternative and finally got one.

This hack was written by webdeveloperplus and I am only giving instructions in how to integrate it to vba. However this works on any page you would like it to appear.

Live Demo

Live Demo Integrated to vba

So let the fun begin and integrate this in ONLY THREE STEPS

First go to vBulleting ACP --> Style Manager --> Edit Templates

Open "headinclude" and ADD the following code at the end of it

Code:

<!-- Rotating Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>  
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.5.3/jquery-ui.min.js" ></script>
<!-- / Rotating Code -->

Second go to vBulleting ACP --> Style Manager --> Main CSS

Scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "Additional CSS Definitions"; which is partitioned in to two parts ADD the following code to the second partition.

Code:

/* ***** Rotating Articles ***** */
#featured{
    width:400px;
    padding-right:250px;
    position:relative;
    height:250px;
    background:#fff;
    border:5px solid #ccc;
}

#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav{
    position:absolute;
    top:0; left:400px;
    list-style:none;
    padding:0; margin:0;
    width:250px;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li{
    padding:1px 0; padding-left:13px;
    font-size:12px;
    color:#666;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li span{
    font-size:11px; font-family:Verdana;
    line-height:18px;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-panel{
    width:400px; height:250px;
    background:#999; position:relative;
        overflow:hidden;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-hide{
    display:none;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-nav-item a{/*On Hover Style*/
    display:block;
    height:60px;
    color:#333;  background:#fff;
    line-height:20px;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-nav-item a:hover{
    background:#f2f2f2;
}
#featured li.ui-tabs-selected{ /*Selected tab style*/
    background:url('http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/images/selected-item.gif') top left no-repeat;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li.ui-tabs-selected a{
    background:#ccc;
}
#featured ul.ui-tabs-nav li img{
    float:left; margin:2px 5px;
    background:#fff;
    padding:2px;
    border:1px solid #eee;
}
#featured .ui-tabs-panel .info{
    position:absolute;
    top:180px; left:0;
    height:70px;
    background: url('http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/featured-content-slider/images/transparent-bg.png');
}
#featured .info h2{
    font-size:18px; font-family:Georgia, serif;
    color:#fff; padding:5px; margin:0;
    overflow:hidden;
}
#featured .info p{
    margin:0 5px;
    font-family:Verdana; font-size:11px;
    line-height:15px; color:#f0f0f0;
}
#featured .info a{
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#fff;
}
#featured .info a:hover{
    text-decoration:underline;
}

Third and Last, go to vBulleting ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Add Module --> Template Module

Ok now we'll have to create the actual box

Module Title: Rotating Articles
Active: Yes
Template to incluce: adv_portal_rotating_articles
Style: "Pick the Style you would like to add it to" Please note if you are adding it to more than one style make sure that you do the previous two steps to all of them.

Template Content: ADD the following code

Code:

<div id="featured" >
    <ul class="ui-tabs-nav">
        <li class="ui-tabs-nav-item ui-tabs-selected" id="nav-fragment-1"><a href="#fragment-1"><img src="images/image1-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>15+ Excellent High Speed Photographs</span></a></li>

        <li class="ui-tabs-nav-item" id="nav-fragment-3"><a href="#fragment-3"><img src="images/image3-small.jpg" alt="" /><span>35 Amazing Logo Designs</span></a></li>

    </ul>
    <!-- First Content -->

        <img src="images/image3.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >35 Amazing Logo Designs</a></h2>

        </div>

    <!-- Fourth Content -->

        <img src="images/image4.jpg" alt="" />
        <div class="info" >
        <h2><a href="#" >Create a Vintage Photograph in Photoshop</a></h2>

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<!-- Rotating Code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#featured > ul").tabs({fx:{opacity: "toggle"}}).tabs("rotate", 5000, true);
    });
</script>
<!-- / Rotating Code -->

Use Module Wrapper Template: No
Then just SAVE.

Then just add it to whatever page you would like it to show in vba

ok now it will be working perfectly except for the pictures which needs to be changed as well as the TEXT

To change the small Pictures please change the green text above
To change the small picture' texts please change the dark green text above
To change the larger pictures please change the orange text above
To change the Larger text in the larger pictures please change the brown text above
To change the smaller text in the larger pictures please change the purple text above

I hope you all are familiar with the <a href="..."> as a the larger text has one to link to the thread or whatever you want as well as the smaller text has one right after it with a click-able "read more"

[OPTIONAL] Forth Step (if you would like to add more rows)
Please check DGF's Post by CLICKING HERE

I hope this is easy to follow.

ENJOY

add center brackets on both ends.

Code:

<center>
html code
</center>

Gamelobby · #44 12-01-2010, 08:54 PM

It doesn't work hardly at all on my CMPS page (see errors up 2 posts), but i put it on a custom html page to get it right before i attempt the CMPS again.

But I still got issues..

Well, got it working on my site. You just need to experiment with CSS a lot to make it match. I phrased out my description and titles so I could minimize editing the content each time I want to change it.
