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();

It's me again. Can u tell me how to remove the thumbnails completely, and which part of the CSS code controls the height and width of slider. Planning on making it a whole lot bigger thanks!

[DS MrSinister]

Are you talking about the whole tab on the right hand side of the slider?

[gamerzhope]

Yep

Upload the attached file to your clientscripts/slider folder. Just add the section ids to the file before uploading it. Then use this for the widget code. Hope this helps.

ob_start();
require_once './clientscript/slider/recent_section_articles.php';
$output=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

There is one suggestion I would like to make here. Instead of putting the init variables directly in the slider.php you can set them at the time of setting up the widget. This way you could use different widgets to act as sliders for different forums. I plan to make changes to the CMS article file for a similar use on our forums.

Thank you for this file. It works with articles from my CMS! thank you!
Only, I can not get a preview of the article ...
Can anyone help me?

I have uploaded the slidermodule.php file setup and of coarse wanting to use the mod on vbadvanced CMPS. My main concern is pulling images from a specific forum, and only use this mod on my home page. After adding and doing everything nothing shows up on my vbadvanced home page. vbadvanced does not use words like widget, it uses words like modules and pages. Can somebody give some advice on what I'm doing wrong, or need to?

Thanks!

Btw, I can gladly send a paypal to anyone that can provide guidance with getting me setup as mentioned above.

Have you edit line 20 of php file? make sure you edit that line to pull the information from that forum.

Thanks for responding DS MrSinister. Prior to posting I Edited both lines 20 & 23. I think what I really need to know is like a step by step on what to do on the vbadvanced part.

I located this info, but there is no adding slidermodule.php or is it listed on the File to Include List. It's at this point when it all becomes a brickwall.

if anyone is looking to make this work with vBadvanced CMPS. just download this attachment.
Don't forget to edit lines 20 to 23 to fit your needs.

add a new php module --> name what ever you want too --> File to Include slidermodule.php

---> Use Module Wrapper Template up to you. enjoy
