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:

that is the error:
Code:
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration
The slider gets all pictures via http - attachments and external images. In your server configuration that is disabled. So the slider can't load and resize those picture to the size it does need.

Best is to ask the techadmin of your server what setting does cause this, why it is off and if it can be activated.

If it can't be activated an option would be not to resize the pictures at all - BUT then the slider will look odd if the pictures do not have the required width and height the slider needs.

alright, I opened a support ticket to my host provider since I couldnt find such an option in my cpanel.

URL file-access is now enable and slider works fine.

thanx for the support.

nominated this mod for MOTM.

My admin members have asked me to remove the slider because of the 1) size of the frame and 2) how the frame stretches the images.

A lot of my contributes are writers and have trouble re-sizing images to match the slider frame, thus a lot of their images look very poor when in reality they are just not the same size as the frame. Is there any way to display the images as they should be, appreciate some of the images may be small but at least they will not be stretched. BETTER still - is there are way of automatically resizing the image to say a maximum hight of say 300 pixels?
thanks

Well Ive read the entire thread and tried all the fixed. I just got off the phone with my host and they will NOT be turning (URL file-access) back on and they suggested using an alternative.

They of course didn't offer any further help then that so I hope someone here can help me get this sorted out.

With debug on I get the errors at the bottom of this post only once they they vanish after visiting another url. If I clear the cache they come right back or if I refresh the page they stay at the top. The slider seems to be working fine except for the fact that it doesnt pull any attachments and I do not see any images saved in my slider folder.

Attachments for guests are on both in usergroups and CMS
Folder is 777
Path is correct
I changes the size but also changed it in the CSS

HTML Code:
DEBUG MODE is ON! 
slider_img_filepath: clientscript/slider/ 
width: 975 height: 250 
show_articles_without_image: bool(false) 
fallback_img: clientscript/slider/uf_fallback_slider.png

@ andycaps

First post section "Custom Settings"

Make changes here
Code:
//picture width and height !same as in the CSS FILE!
$maxwidth = 650;                                  
$maxheight = 250;
and 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 */
}
You can change those numbers any way you like to match your site needs.

Different sizes for each image is not supported by the nivo slider - well it can be done, but does look horrible.


Of course additional rules for the resizing process can also be added. Let's say pictures is smaller than 200px -> it won't be used and the slider takes the fallback image instead (that's basecially how we do it on our site). As said in the first post, if one wants something special, just ask - i will try to come up with some code, but won't promise i will.

Sorry to hear that.

An idea would be to use cURL instead especially for attachments. Meaning 'reparsing' the previewimage when it is an attachment to get the attachment id, then starting a curl request to the attachment.php file and send the id as post/get value.

With such a fix attachments should start working even with allow_url_include disabled.

But, and i'm sorry to say that, i won't code that - just wanted to add the idea if one want's to take a shot at it.

Regards


edit: another option would be disableing the image resize process. Then you should make sure that your attachments are allready uploaded in the size the slider does need.

So theres no other fix if the host refuses to turn of the URL file-access? I haven't a clue how to recode for curl.

And for the re-size. I already got that in both.
